How do you unfreeze a steering cable on a boat?

Disconnect the cable and roll it up and immerse in diesel fuel for a few days this will help lube and break up the rust. You can add a couple quarts of transmission fluid to the diesel it will help slick things up. After a few days gently try to pull on both ends to see if it will move. If it does soak some more and keep trying till its free. Hope that the corrosion hasn't eaten enough on the cable that it will snaps if you put a load on it.

Could be bad fuel. I had the same problem drained the fuel, replaced and ran fine. Depending on the area of the country you are in, the fuel starts to turn after about I

believe 13 days:

Stability:

Ethanol blends can turn "SOUR" in as little as 2 weeks. Evaporation and oxidation are the two biggest problems effecting Ethanol blends. Ethanol is lighter than gasoline. When it sits in a tank that is less than full for a period of time the Ethanol rises to the top and evaporates into the air. This is especially true in a vented fuel system. When a tank is less than full the Oxygen in the air in the tank reacts with the fuel and causes the build up of gums and varnishes. Evaporation leads to a poorer quality fuel and the gums and varnishes can plug filters, injectors and carburetors. EhtanolRx and Sentry will help.

Water:

Ethanol is a hygroscopic liquid, meaning that is readily attaches to water. It it also fully miscible (mixable) with water. In very small amounts this is not a problem. But when the saturation exceeds a specific amount is becomes a major problem called Phase Separation. The amount of water Ethanol can safely absorb is dependent on the temperature of the fuel. At 70°F it is .5% (.005) of the volume. If it exceeds this amount the Ethanol and water will fall from suspension and sink to the bottom of the tank forming an Ethanol /Water layer that can produce acids and cause major engine failures. At cooler temperatures it is less and at higher temperatures it is more. This is especially a problem during transportation and storage of fuel. A hot tank may have 1% water, when is cools off it can exceed the amount and cause phase separation. In the case of storage tanks this may go undetected and delivered directly to your tank. This can also be a problem when Ethanol is added to a tank that has water in it already.

I would start with changing fuel, then check fuel pump.

Where can you get a jet ski license?

Laws vary State-to-State so you should check with the agency that governs boating laws in your State. The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators approves courses at the national level and most States follow those guidelines. States have final approval and subsequently approve courses that yield a Safety Certification (what you refer to as a License). Both in-class and online courses are available dependant upon what your State approves

What is an HS code?

HS Codes are the lingua franca of international commodity trade. "HS refers to the "Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System" which is a comprehensive product classification system designed and managed by the World Customs Organization.

The HS covers more than 98% of all merchandise in global trade, and governs nearly every aspect of International Trade Logistics.

The HS is based on the fundamental principle that goods are classified by what they are and not according to their stage of fabrication, use, "made in" status or any other such criteria.

The HS nomenclature is logically structured by economic activity or component material. For example, animals and animal products are found in one section; machinery and mechanical appliances, which are grouped by function, are found in another.

The nomenclature is divided into 21 Sections, which, in general, group goods produced in the same sector of the economy.

Each Section is comprised of one or more Chapters with the entire nomenclature being comprised of 97 Chapters.

HS codes have been established along the following hierarchical logic;

• HS-2 refers to the Chapter

• HS-4 refers to the Heading

• HS-6 refers to the Subheading

For example, product code 060110 refers to Chapter 6 (Live trees and other plants: bulbs, roots, etc…), Heading 01 (Bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots…dormant, in growth or in flower, etc….), and Subheading 10 (Bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots…. Dormant).

Further subdivisions (HS-8, HS-10, and HS12) are made by individual countries and trading blocks according to their specific tariff and statistical needs. These "final" product codes are contained in the particular Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the world.

The tariff and tariff-related provisions (e.g.- numerical codes and article descriptions) are presented in tabular format containing several columns. In those columns are contained the headings, subheadings, statistical annotations, article descriptions and rates of duty.
