holly crap, I've been using a cleaning product called FSR to remove the brown tannin stains on the hull. It's kind a pain as you need to brush it onto the hull, I had a spray bottle of Bar Keeps Friend that I tried the other day and it works awsome. just spray it on, it comes our as kind of a...

I've been thinking about upgrading my trailer and thought I had better find out what my old tub actually weighs. I've been been fiddling around adding knickknacks to it for over 20 years and just knew it was overweight for my single axle ezloader trailer I pondered on the logistics of getting...

wow, a month on lake powell ,way cool. I hope you have a place to stay squared away in Redmond. Central OR real estate is crazy. I think Waldo lake is limited to electric motors and 10 mph speed limit. the fishing crowd around these parts are pretty well behaved...the splash and giggle crowd...

we're packing up and moving to Bend his summer and I'm looking forward to also using the C-D as a kayak base camp. I just looked at the regulations for Sparks. They allow motorized boats and have a 10 mph speed limit, the problem is it's strictly a day use area so a person may be out of luck...

I gave up on consuming the Modelo vaccine the other day and went and got the first dose of Pfizer. Went on line Tuesday and got an appointment for Wednesday afternoon, it went pretty smooth and quick. I did have to show my ID which shouldn't be a problem for anybody, hell, even Bob J's dog has ID

I wonder if a person ate nothing but Twinkies and other foods high in preservatives and washed it down with Stabil, they could live forever...or at least 200 yrs

that's good to know, I guess i need to get some MorStabil to treat my Stabil so it lasts longer

A horn is a good thing to have but legally a couple of pots and pans you can bang together or any other noise making device would fulfill the requirement. My horn received the mud dauber treatment and got replaced by a nylon version, I also have a small, canned air horn on the back deck that I...

some poor sap at the busy boat ramp this morning was having hell getting his boat launched. He took off steaming up the boat ramp with his boat somehow still barely hooked to the trailer. with enough yelling from the spectators he got it reined in before it started up the pavement......it...

no doubt, my brother lives in Argentina and was talking about visiting, I suggested he join caravan and walk up. He wouldn't have to mess with covid protocols and could probably also get a bunch of free stuff. I'd like to head up north of Edmonton and visit relatives. They don't have any...

I was thinking about selling out and going boat-less last week. We've had the tub over 20 years with most of the hours put on it were with the son and I fishing. The son is all grown up and moved off now and doesn't have time to go fishing like the good old days. After pondering on selling...

Planing on keeping our boat forever and being tired of fiddling with cold blooded, carburated engines with todays poor fuel, I made the jump from 40hp Hondas to 50hp fuel injected Suzukies several years back. Do it, what you'll like- * engines that start right up and idle smooth * engines...

i dunno, some of his methods seem a bit shaky

Fishing set up

we run 4 rods with lead, no downrigers , often on the Columbia. It's well orchestrated chaos with a fish on though with the cramped quarters. If you don't need it for beverages or food, leave that cursed cooler at home and hang a kill bag up across the stern, it's a much better way to handle...

when in doubt, here's a general fuse replacement guide- https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a ... 00bwp.webp

congrats, nice boat and a helluva drive to get it. How many times on the way home did you look in the rear view mirror and grin. The wife and I have taken to watching the Duluth vessel canal camera on you tube, it seems your boat seems a little short to be a proper laker boat :)

hey there, generally- most 4whl drive rigs anymore have automatic hubs. In 2whl drive the hubs allow the wheels to just spin while the drive axle is stationary. When you engage 4whl drive the transfer case is electronically shifted to engage the front drive shaft and signal a valve to send...

not me, I'm just a lurker over there. When I was younger we didn't have auto hubs, or crew cabs. A person always wanted to avoid riding shotgun, the middle seat was preferred. How many remember why? .......you didn't have to get out and engage the hubs or open gates

I installed a relay in series with the wire that controls the 4wd hub control vacuum switch. Now, with a flip of the switch I can maneuver around in 2wd low range. It's a pretty quick and easy modification that's going to make life a bit easier to back stuff up. here is the discussion and how...
