    Boathook harpoon gaff combination

    Yes a lot of drama for the camera could have pluged the hole with a wet paper towel.

    Helio Shower

    Looks like a nice unit but still loving my Big Kahuna. The nazol shoots a fine spray about 8 feet, the 4.7 gallon lasts for days. Great for a shower or whatever. One of my favorite uses is rinsing the salt off the windows, just give them a good dousing and let air dry. If you use rainx glass...

    How To Find Fishing Spots

    Boy if this isn't the $40,000 question! One of the best sources is to find a local online Fishing Forum specifically for your area, most likely no one's going to tell you exactly where to catch the fish but you should get some good ideas on where to look and what to look for, what gear to use...

    Quick Question for Possible Fuel Leak

    My power trim cylinder failed last year and the sheen looked just like gas, thought it was gas.

    Quick Question for Possible Fuel Leak

    Power trim and tilt would be a place to look also, unfortunately.

    Electrical problem

    The switches all tie into the positive and negative buses on the back side of the helm, I would check the respective connections to each bus. Something obviously came loose or a teminal end possibly failed. Until you figure it out unless you're totally comfortable troubleshooting electrical...

    Longest floating structure in history

    Like any idea it has to tested and validated as to its intent and purpose, if it fails you learn and adapt; if it's successful you learn and improve. At least it's an attempt to fix or address a global problem effecting future generations; there are always nasayers,.

    Removing gas from tanks

    Dittos on topping off with fuel, an empty tank just condensates when temperatures yo yo back and forth through freeze a and thaw. Fortunately here in Alaska we don't have corn alcohol in our gas so no additives are really necessary for long storage, I do however pour a few cans of seafoam in...

    Backup GPS or smart phone acceptable?

    I would say that's a bargain! ! The big problems I see with pads is they are no good in direct sunlight and not waterproof. I have two Garmin handheld units, an older Colorado 400c and a newer Montana 600 I keep in a hard mount at my fingertips. I like to run my trip information on the...

    For Motorcyclists

    Yes, it's a wonder I survived my teens and early 20s. Love to ride and ride hard, never been a big fan of just cruising along. My current ride at 60 is a BMW r1200 rt. Heated grips, heated seat, cruise control, anti lock brakes, still pulls the front end off the ground in 2nd.

    Outboard vs. stern drive

    An I/O has twice the moving parts as the lower unit on an OB, think Z vis L. This fact alone should steer you away from stern drives. Also, I see older I/O stern drives converted to outboards all the time, never the other way around.

    too tall for my garage door

    Why not just throw a tarp over her with a ridge pole. Once you get it figured out the process will take much time. KISS

    Confirm my actions

    I think your on the right track but your discharged house battery may be damaged. If the charging system will not charge the battery it's usually because the battery shows no voltage and is totally discharged, so by attaching a fully charged battery to the dead one you're basically fooling...

    Cabin condensation

    Running without thermostats

    Assuming you have checked your water pump, and your engine is pissing a good streem. If you trust your mechanics diagnosis, given the option of tearing the engine down and cleaning out the water jacket or trying to run the engine without the thermostat, I'll take the latter. The mechanic is...

    Catastrophic failure of Honda BF150

    Yes, how about an update. BTW, I beleave Murcery was the first to offer, what I call, Fly-by-wire controls and digital gauges. Our 07 25ft has the 150 hp Murcery Verodo with Murcery smart guages. These gauges incorporate both analog and digital readouts. When looking for a used 25 I really...

    Dinette seat

    Aft or forward I don't think it would be a structural issue. I cut in an access hatch under the aft seat on our 22 and below the feet on our 25. If you keep 2''' or 3'' margins you should be fine. Place the hatch cover where you want it, tape it in place and pencil around the cutout. Drill a...

    Suzuki 150EFI losing power...

    Well that's certainly good news, hope you're able to enjoy the rest of your season. Of course your season is all year round, ours is over; Triple J is covered up for the next six and a half months or so.

    Pure Electric C-Dory

    This outfit has inboard electric systems for boats up to 85 feet, quite impressive for sure. Seems 3 phase AC Motors are the way to go. They even produce outboards up to 9.9 horsepower equivalent, appears they retrofitted these with their Motors. Impressive comparisons and statistics for...
