Re: Teleflex Steering Rack
Mine seized when I stupidly forgot to grease the cable where it goes thru that tube. The inner spiral was stretched as I doubled down on stupid by forcing the wheel, wrecking it. After replacing it with a new one, I was surprised to see that the old one has ALWAYS been stretched a few inches (as sho...

When is Enough Power Not Enough?
The owner of this boat told me how that, initially, it would not get on plane, even though it's powered by two, 1,500 hp supercharged big blocks and racing outdrives.

Too bad. A couple of fishermen just bought it here on the Chesapeake Bay--slammed into a buoy at high speed.

Has a third 150 hp in his office, a factory display model that's cutaway. Guy collects neat Chrysler stuff, s...
