For us, we like the fold down type. It's always where you need it, no socket to corrode either. We use ours on every outing since we fly a small flag on it. The light's pigtail wires run directly into the cabin so the splice to the boat's wiring is inside and protected, no corrosion ever. James

Heading south the start of protected water is just south of Tarpon Springs. Then the only open water is Tampa Bay. James

Looks like they have a boat ramp on site, and storage for your boat and trailer. Let us know what you find out please..... James

Aaron.... Never liked the factory install orientation of mine so when I redid the interior I took mine apart. I had a cork insulator between the fitting and the hull. I coated both sides of the cork with high temp gasket maker. Hasn't leaked. I would avoid silicone anything on the boat as a...

Luck hasn't much to do with it in Bob and Marie's case. There is a reason Bob gives the majority of our safety talks. He is a tireless advocate to plan, prepare, execute. I'm continually amazed by his attention to detail and planning. Bob, I hope you and Marie will take a moment each day to...

Amen to that Bob!! So glad to hear you, Marie and the pups are safe....boat too. Take good care, James

John, when you say servos I think electrical. Are you talking about the hydraulic cylinders that bolt up to the engine? I've been reading all the instructions and the liquid tiebar alignment process seems pretty straightforward and easy to do. James

Looks like it's been no pinic in Apalachicola either. Though I've never met them I hope Mark and the gang weather through this without too much damage. Reports from Pensacola are not good......

Been watching Sally's progress since she passed near us this past weekend. Looking at radar and weather reports the last 36 hours, keeping my fingers crossed for Bob, John and the rest of the Brats in that area. The tract of Sally has not been kind to the West Pensacola area. I feel their...

Ahh, but flags !! Now I'm interested. I don't sew and I wouldn't dream of tasking my wife :D I normally fly 4 flags and I'm sure i could find a place for another. James

Short and sweet Bob, thanks! Looks like i'll be joining the 21st century :D Stay safe and hope you and all the other gulf coast brats weather the storm with minimal trouble. James

Took delivery of my new Suzuki 90"s and first order of business is to reinstall the steering system. The old Honda set up was with a tie bar 65" long. First issue is that the Suzi steering bracket is farther back on the motor than the old H, and has a different hole pattern. Seastar does not...

Bob.....I sent my old unit to Solution One Maritime in Tampa. They were waiting on a shipment of Epirb’s from McMurdo at a special price with the understanding that they would pass the savings along to their customers. The timing was to my benefit as they were expecting them any day. Their...

Been shopping around for new motors the last couple of months. The common theme everywhere was to be ready to wait for delivery. Unlike all other downturns, down here in Florida anything boating or RVing is selling like hotcakes. Had one broker tell me he was down to only two boats to sell the...

That was timely Bob..... My EPIRB registration was due so I pulled it out of the boat to confirm serial number and noticed it was due this month for a new battery (required every 5 years). Sent it off to Solution One Marine who informed me that my vintage 2003 McMurdo is no longer supported...

After many years of trailer troubles we built a custom 12K lbs trailer and never looked back. So far it has been flawless. I measure 64" center to center spoons at the rear of the boat. The front hull has some confounding angles so that is where I would pay particular attention. [/url]

Jim.... Went with the Suzi's for the 2.59 to 1 gear ratio, offset shaft put the center of engine weight closer to the transom, for a good price, and finally because the shop is just across the bridge 6 miles from my house. Not only that they were personable and took the time to answer all my...
