Am I at the wrong forum?

**Cash68** · 07-08-2010, 09:37 AM

My boat is a 350 with a sterndrive, but it seems this entire site is mostly about outboards. What other sites could I transfer to that have more knowledge about sterndrives? I'm really not getting many responses to my questions here.

Thanks in advance!

What's your question? Been working on sterndrives for an awful long time.

**Cash68** · 07-08-2010, 10:20 AM

Just seems like people aren't willing to help much, seems like the threads with the most activity are people babbling about some upcoming meet, or reliving the good ole days. Not so much help with any questions.

That's what most people do in the "GENERAL DISCUSSION" area... Try the "TECHNICAL DISCUSSION" -- http://www.screamandfly.com/forumdis...cal-Discussion

or

try http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/general-q-20/ OSO is almost all i/o's

HMMM

I went back over your 69 posts and it seems to me people helped when and where they could. Bill (Mirage 243) offered assistance and you come back with a post like this

. Not a good way to make friends and influence people

. Even in your other threads with questions when you didn't receive an immediate answer you came back with Bueler, Bueler, Bueler.

You might want to try a different approach.

Just my 02

LOL! Sometimes it does seem that way around here. I understand what your say'n, lol. BUT, if you ask a specific question, and only one question at a time, I'm sure there are enough knowledgable people here on the board to help you. So...Whats your first I/O question?

What's the little thingy on the back that looks like a fan blade that goes round and round????

One problem was that in the beginning you seemed to want to ask a question and then argue with the answer. There is a deep and diverse knowledge pool here if you go with the flow instead of trying to force it to adapt to you.

WOW , Babbling , about Some Upcoming Meet, and Reliving , the good Old Days !

Not Sure , what's wrong with that . As this is as much , a Social Group , as it is a Performance Boating , Web Site !

We look forward , to seeing each other , out on the water ways , and meeting new board members , when ever posibale . And also , helping each other , with our projects , what ever they may be .

Not sure , what the questions are , your not getting ansewered here are , as you haven't asked for help with anything , yet !

I can tell you , if you've got a question , about almost anything , you will get an ansewer around here .
Hell , I've even got help , with my lawn mower , here !
