After flushing turn water off first
Then shut engine down
Caution Do not be tempted to use muriatic acid or HCI will eat rubber and everything else
Sand in engine block from running in sandy areas
Sand can accumulate in the engine around the cylinders in the cooling jacket
This can cause improper cooling, possibly the sand can get hardened and stuck in this area here
Checking the temperature sensors
Nothing too confusing here, at least.
It’s not perfect, but the Trident’s about as close as it gets for $8,095 (and its maintenance requirements are likewise affordable). A smidge less high-speed compression damping in its otherwise very good suspenders wouldn’t be bad, as we learned over some of our worst third-world California pavement. There is a bit of tingle through the grips around 6000 rpm and 80 mph, and it would be nice if there was cruise control so you could mitigate it by giving your right hand a rest – and that’s the end of my complaints. For $8,095, you can afford to add the optional quickshifter, heated grips, and maybe a flyscreen. more
Even Ryan has nothing negative to say about the Trident: Who would’ve thought the Triumph Trident 660 would be the sleeper bike in this crew? The 660cc Triple is as smooth as the Honda’s mill, but builds up into the meat of its power much sooner and still offers an exciting rush above 7,000 rpm.
When I got a home theater audio set up in 2000, I built it around the nearly 30-year old JBLs because they were still in great shape and I could find no full-range speakers for less than $2,000 a pair that satisfied me. Audiophiles have whined about the vintage JBL sound for as long as I can remember. Some of this may have been sour grapes due to their widespread sales success. And some of this was no doubt due to their obvious coloration. I soon learned to keep silent around the more outspoken audiophiles because I got tired of hearing those lectures about my misguided ways. Maybe part of my motivation here is to deliver, at long last, a rebuttal to those lectures.
My first speakers were a pair JBL L-100As that I bought in 1973. I always enjoyed them and still use them today. Their easily identified sound, the so-called West Coast sound, was once a highly touted marketing feature. Ad copy claimed that musicians and recording engineers were buying or stealing the original model 4310 (a professional studio monitor that preceded the L-100s) for home use. JBL did succeed in installing these monitors in most large recording studios in the 1970s, including Angel, Capitol, Deutsche Grammophon, Elektra, EMI, London/Decca, MGM, RCA, Reprise, Vanguard, and Warner Bros. Although they may have been responsible for some bad studio mixes from the '70s and '80s, even by today’s standards, they do amazingly well for a 3-way speaker with only 2 crossover components. Their relatively high sensitivity generates an incredible attack giving music an energy and presence that few other speakers could reproduce then or today. Figure 1 JBL L-100.jpeg more
A few years ago, I began playing with DIY speaker building. I was originally interested in learning what features are important in making a speaker sound good. To make a long story short, it’s all in the crossover, and to a lesser extent, cabinet design. A well designed crossover can make average or even poor drivers sound decent, and a well designed crossover combined with genuinely good drivers can make for a truly excellent speaker. Other exotic or expensive tweaks that we so often hear about all make much smaller differences – if they are audible at all – in comparison to the big improvements from a good crossover.
The marine outboard engine market has witnessed launch of Diesel outboard motors in past 3 years, ex Yanmar, OXE and now Cox marine being the most recent entrant(June 2019) with its $39,000 motor. Cox plans to manufacture 2,000 units of its new CXO300 outboard diesel engine in 2020 once it has the required approvals from the US’s EPA.
Outboard engines are not only space efficient( occupies unused space outside the sitting area of the boat) but also require less maintenance than gasoline/Diesel inboard engines.
Marine electric drive systems are a lot different from their gasoline/Diesel counterparts. They include batteries, charging technology, user interface, inverters and converters to supply hotel loads if required. more
The growing importance of >300hp segment can be sensed by the fact that Mercury Marine launched 400hp verado outboard in Feb 2019, after getting numerous requests for the same.
