    Changing oil filter on Suzuki 150

    Removing the upper starboard cowling on the Suzuki DF 150 makes removal of the oil filter easy. An 8 mm socket makes removal of the 5 screws easy enough, or a phillips head screwdriver will also work. The screws are retained in the cowling, so you don't have to worry about dropping them.

    TomCat 255 Magnetic Compass

    What's the best location for the main magnetic compass and what has been been your experience with magnetic compass deviation on the TomCat 255? We'll have lots of DC electronics clustered around the helm, a radar arch, and a roof-mounted SeaMach air conditioner. Alok and I are partners on a...
