Hi, I am about to order a Spurs Line Cutter and I understand it is a Model B, 1 1/2 inch. I am not sure if I need to order a Wedge Holding Block as well? If I do need to order one, which one do I

Our SM "It's Good" is sitting in the Severn River, just off of Mobjack Bay for the season, so Jennifer and I could more than likely make it as well. It would be good to meet everyone since we bought

Bill, I cannot see how you can state that you are certain I installed the seals wrongly the first two times when I followed religiously the "amel way" and ended up with water in the C-Drive oil
