I understand why every companion decides to travel with the Doctor on a whim because I, too, if faced with the option to pay rent in London or the option to live in a police box rent-free, would choose the second one.

How to Keep Your Outboard Lower Unit in a Safe Condition

Outboard motors are one of the most popular types of engine in use today. They provide power to a variety of watercraft, from boats and motorcycles to snowmobiles and ATVs. If you own an outboard lower unit, it’s important to keep it in good condition. This is especially true if you plan on using it regularly. Here are a few tips to help you do just that.

How to Lube an Outboard Lower Unit

There are a few key things you can do to keep your outboard lower unit in good condition and safe to operate. One important step is to keep the unit clean. Use a mild soap and water solution to remove any dirt or debris. If the unit becomes encrusted with built-up debris, take it to a mechanic for cleaning. You should also lubricate the moving parts of the lower unit every two weeks or as needed. Use a light oil that will not damage the surfaces. Make sure the lube is applied evenly throughout the unit. Finally, be sure to tighten all fasteners and adjust screws as necessary. This will help maintain system stability and prevent damage.

How to Change the Oil in an Outboard Lower Unit

If your outboard lower unit is nearing the end of its life, or if you simply want to change the oil, the process is relatively easy. Here are six steps: Remove the cover panel. There are several bolts that hold it in place; remove them all. Disable the oil pickup tube by unscrewing it from the pump body. Do not lose this piece! Remove the oil filter and drain off any old oil into a container. Replace the filter and reattach it to the pump body with screws. Pour in fresh oil until it comes up just to the top of the filter screen. Make sure there is no excess! Replace the cover panel and reattach all bolts. Be sure to reinstall the pickup tube before tightening down the bolts! Start up your engine and check for leaks (the best way to do this is to pour a little bit of water into each cylinder). If there are no leaks, you’re ready to go! If there are leaks, continue with Step 6 below...

How to Clean an Outboard Lower Unit

If you own an outboard lower unit, it’s important to keep it in a safe condition. Here are some tips on how to clean it: Before cleaning your outboard lower unit, be sure to disconnect all of the wires and connectors. This will help prevent any injuries if something falls off while you are working. Start by cleaning the areas that tend to accumulate debris the most. These include the propeller shaft, crankshaft, and engine cover. Use a cleaner designed specifically for engines and parts, or use a mild soap and water solution. Make sure to clean the surrounding area where the cleaner is being used, as this can also be contaminated with oil and grease. wipe down surfaces with a dry cloth afterwards. If there is any visible dirt or debris on the rotating components, use a carburetor cleaner designed specifically for this type of engine before proceeding to step 5. Carburetor cleaners are usually very effective at getting rid of built-up dirt and grime without damaging the carburetor or other delicate parts. Finally, use a degreaser or wax remover on stubborn messes if needed. Be careful not to over-clean the unit or you could damage it prematurely

How to Check an Outboard Lower Unit’s Battery

If your outboard engine is not starting, the first thing to check is the battery. A dead battery will cause the engine to not start. The next step would be to determine whether or not there is something preventing the engine from turning over, such as a seized flywheel. If the problem turns out to be with the battery, it is important to replace it as soon as possible in order to keep your boat safe and prevent any further issues. To check an sei lower units battery, follow these steps: Disconnect the negative cable from the battery using a wrench. Remove the cover on the engine compartment and remove any debris that may have collected inside of it. Check the acidity level of the battery by touching one end of a metal object (like a screwdriver) to one of the plates and watching how quickly it rusts. If there are no signs of corrosion, then the acidity level is acceptable and you can replace the battery without further testing. If corrosion has already set in, then replace the battery before proceeding any further. Clean all connections with rubbing alcohol and re-connect everything using a new wrench. Put everything back together in reverse order and test your outboard engine by starting it up.

How to Test an Outboard Lower Unit’s Operation

If you detect an issue with your outboard lower unit, the first thing to do is to safe-guard yourself and any bystanders. If the issue is minor, you can try to fix it yourself. If the issue is more serious, or if it’s not possible or safe to fix it yourself, you’ll need to take your outboard lower unit to a professional. Before taking your mercury lower unit to a professional: Make sure the engine is off and the battery disconnected. Disconnect all cables from the outboard lower unit. Check for loose connections at plug-in points (fuses, connectors, terminals). Tighten any that need tightening, then reconnect all cables. Make sure all hoses are connected and in good condition—replace them as needed. Check for fuel leaks, especially at seams where hoses join together (around fuel tanks, carburetors). Repair any leaks found; be especially careful around gas lines and valves (where they enter and exit the engine). Inspect propellers for damage or excessive wear; replace them if necessary. Inspect gearboxes for proper oil pressure (measured with a gauge), excessive wear or noise in gear transmissions, and properly timed gear adjustments (using a timing light).

Conclusion

A lower unit on an outboard boat can be a very dangerous and expensive piece of equipment, so it is important to take steps to keep it in good condition. Here are some tips for keeping your lower unit safe and operable: 1. Keep the unit clean and free of debris. Dirty parts will not function as well, and could cause serious damage. 2. Regularly check all bolts and screws for tightness or corrosion. Over time these parts can loosen, leading to loss of functionality or even structural failure. 3. Keep electrical cables secured so they do not become entangled in moving parts (e.g., propellers). This can lead to damaged cables or outright fire if sparks fly during operation. 4. Store the unit safely when not in use; never leave it perched on the dock or tethered to a buoy without protection from the elements or other boats nearby

The choice to put Una Chin-Reily on a Starfleet recruitment poster in the late 2370s seems a nod to the extraordinary person she is and her exemplary service, but Boimler’s enthusiasm for her as a personal hero cannot mask the fact of what Starfleet execs are really doing here: while it is Starfleet tradition to honour esteemed personnel from its centuries of history, we have to look at the poster as a product of its time: it seems clear that, shortly after the devastating death toll and the rapid militarisation of the Dominion War, putting a prominent figure of the Great Exploration Age - and notedly someone who had not served in the Klingon War - as the poster person for Starfleet is an indictment that contemporary young people of the Federation are not drawn to the service as it is in their time anymore.

Critically, Starfleet has to use somebody from a 120 years ago, a timeframe that would lap generations of even especially long lived member species like Vulcans or Denobulans, to attract new recruits. Boimler says himself that seeing Una as a representative and her motto - “Ad astra per aspera” was: “Uh, it was a really big reason why I joined.” Clearly there is a wealth of recognisable Starfleet officers from 2370 and onwards, but their entanglement in the Dominion War, or at least in the Borg threat makes them unsuitable as role models for people like Boimler who cannot help but associate these contemporaries with the horrors of war and intergalactic conflict. Thus, the retreat to a “safe” historical narrative, with Starfleet still being about peaceful exploration reflects the growing divide between the realities of a colonised galaxy, the ongoing need of new bodies to fill the posts on all those ships and space stations and the aspirations and values of young people today. In this essay I will question whether Starfleet can keep its promise of scientific integrity in the face of growing political unrest in the UFP and ask what “Number One” herself would have thought about-

Can't stop thinking about clocks apparently... 🥰

I found this while perusing models-resource for something to convert and thought it seemed fun. It's an alarm clock from a game called The Stretchers, which seems like a paramedic version of Overcooked.

This will function as an alarm clock in most ways, except your Sims can't break it as I was too lazy to model a broken state. They can still try, though! Speaking of model, this thing has 3,300 polys. That is very high for an object of this size. I didn't check until I was far enough along that I didn't want to throw it out. :( The texture sizes are really small, though!

Found in Small Electronics with the other alarm clocks and costs §70 which is quite a bit higher than the one I cloned it from, but I figured it's overpriced like any other novelty item. And it is unbreakable.

She's a colorless unit and the beach ball is colored for the weapons triangle. Her necklace as the Askran symbol on it and then in her hair, towards the top, is a headpiece with a flower but also horns like Askr has.

I wonder if the reason why Bradward Boimler wasn’t published in the 30 under 30 article of the fleet magazine was because William Boimler and section 31 got involved to protect William Boimler.

It’s not like section 31 hasn’t gotten involved with shit like this before and interfered with both Starfleet and the wider federation.
