I really appreciate this site and the efforts put forth by the DaNag and Tyboo. Can't wait for the changes to be completed. How does one donate and what is considered a good amount to donate as we all have different financial situations.

Thank goodness My boat is fitted with a Racor fuel filter with a visible separator. Last weekend was only the third time I have used the boat and each time I use it I check the separation bowl for water. This past time, after fueling and boating for a couple of days, I noticed a quarter of an...

My gosh some of you folks are old, lol. 1964? 1941? Are you all sure you weren't born 20 or 30 yrs old or more? Where was I that it never occurred to go to these places? My Gosh. They are beautiful.

I had the long lengthwise carpeted plank guides but they both fell off on the maiden tow home from Florida. First the carpet and then the planks themselves. At a Home Depot I bought a twelve foot piece of PVC schedule 80 pipe, then cut into 4 - 3' pieces and they fit over the existing mounts...

That'll work.

Scary Stuff Bob. My family didn't serve in the war as we were farmers and were exempt but many of dad's friends went. The Liquid/Gas extinguisher is something I'm not familiar with.

I mentioned the lakes I passed on my way to garden centers and Mormon Temples all over the mountain states, up until I retired in December, selling Dutch bulbs. The sierras are my favorites but there are too many people. I hope to see those lakes again.

Clearly written. My guides are to short and the rear guides often goes under. it wouldn't take too mush to change that a little higher. So, Bob and Tom Both like the heat shrink crimps and regular heat shrink over that? What do you do for the three-way junction created at the side markers?

I was so spoiled as my last boat was a Carolina Skiff 24. It had 10" of foam in the floor and no water would come in unless multiple big people stood back there. Rarely did I use the plug.

Last Week I forgot to put the plug into the back and quickly took on 6" of water. Once I noticed it that plug went in at record speed. Earlier this week I turned on the washdown pump (after opening the valve). Hazzard, needs work! I noticed that the stream that I was supposed to receive at the...

Yes I usually get a new light set with cheap wire every 3-5 yrs. have you tried the liquid tape?

Honky Dory was my favorite Glen-L Design. I used to pass that lake when on sales trips but only once stopped to look at it. Also Bear Lake and Palisades. Have you been to them all in that area. Flathead, Preist, and Coeur d' Alene? that three corner of states is magnificent. Now I'm retired...

I tend to go through a lot of trailer lights...I have four trailers and all four visit unspeakable places and suffer much harm. Do you always unplug your lights when backing them down the ramp? For the most part I connect my lights with standard crimp fittings or standard twist on wire nuts...

Where, how and when do you store or "keep handy" your fire blanket. I am concerned with grease fires as I'm temporarily on the carnivore diet and much meat is cooked daily.

Yes, The wife, having been to the "checklist pages" on the Great Loop site insists that we sit down this week and begin crafting a few checklists ourselves. I've never been a "write it down" type of guy and that contributed to almost sanking our boat. It was otherwise a fun trip. Thanks for you...

Fine weekend.everything worked. I guess when connected to shore power you turn off the inverter. then turn on the Ac switch. Fridge ran great, batteries stayed topped off and I merely use the solar on the two house batteries. We had a great weekend electrically and mechanically but gosh was the...

I dislike electric but can't seen to live without it and so I understand your hesitancy. This is helpful. I have a large switch in the main starting battery box that says Inverter on it. When I turn that on then I can go to the Inverter and turn it on. My Fridge has that same switch on the Ac...

Colby and Ssobol, That now seems to be the way mine is set up. For AC it goes through the AC panel. Where the GFI power source is (behind the fridge) the gfi says "for AC shore power only". Does this imply that I should turn the AC breaker off when not hooked up to shore power? When the AC is...

Okay the charger is on and lit up like a Christmas tree and stopped when all batteries were at 14.1 +/-. great. The DC inverter switch does indeed let juice go to the inverter. More to come....

On my 22 there were 4 batteries and 3 were shot. In addition the gfci was shot. All 4 batteries were replaced and the gfci. So now I need to learn how to turn off the fridge. I have the AC panel turned off, Shore power is not plugged in and the DC inverter in off. So why does my Fridge still...
