Please tell me what you think this section should be called and what exaclty is the description to see where we might place it.
I am still surprised that people feel they can not post because their boat is not expensive enough. I have never seen a reason why anyone should feel this way based on the way others treat them. Am I missing something?

I've wondered this for a while now. Other forums have a section called DIY or Library. In these areas members post how-to's on many topics including pictures depicting the step-by-step process. One that helped me last year was a post by Wally on how do change an impeller including pictures. I saved hundreds by following his detailed instructions. Pulling drives, servicing drives, impellers, bleeding hydraulic steering rams, etc., are all examples of good how-to topics. In some professional forums I belong to there are comprehensive reviews of products by members, links to engineering articles and other related reviews along with the how-to's. I think it is a fantastic idea that would surely take this forum to another level. Heck...if enough got posted, I might not have to sell the boat LOL!!!
