HAPPY HOLIDAY I have a Cape Cruiser 23. I have been towing it with a 2002 Toyota 4-Runner (2WD). I go from Hickory NC to Wilmington and back on I-40 and it does pretty good. The car does not overpower the boat. I'm setting my ML 320 up with a hitch and wiring harness and it may do...

Morning CBrats After a 10 day solo venture I think I need a winlass. I'm 6 hours from the closest dealer and tried to have one installed while at the coast. Is this something that a reasonably handy person can do?? I've got the tools and understand that every hole you drill is an...
