This is why in teaching USPS safe boating classes for the past 50 years I always recommend: When launching your boat always have all people get out of the vehicle, remove your seat belt and open the driver and passenger windows. :lol:

Some people do dumb things! Maybe they are looking to see if a flat tire is the problem. I sure am glad the boat is not a C-Dory. :lol:

Dumb Things

The way I hooked up the Trailer Light Indicators is parallel with the trailer lights. The connection is at the front of the trailer to keep the connections out of the water. My trailer is a Float On by Pioneer and has LED trailer lights. When I start out I do a walk around and check that all LED...

YES! I agree that you can tell that the trailer lights are working by doing a walk around. I do a walk around and check the lights when first hooking up the trailer to the tow vehicle. I also stop every hour or so and do a walk around to check that the lights are working. However I cannot do a...

Sometimes when trailering my C-Dory 25 a friend following me later says that my trailer lights are not working. :cry: This really concerns me as I want my lights to be working all the time. In the day time there is no way to tell if they are working or not. At night all I can see is the...

I have my boat insurance with Boat US and also have been a member of Boat US since 1990. I have had unlimited towing insurance for most of those years. I have never needed a tow and have never had a claim. I guess I am lucky. I stay with Boat US because all the boaters that I know who have...

I have had several sailboats, the last being a 33 foot Hunter. To go 60 miles in the sailboat it is a 11 hour motor. Usually the wind is on the nose or not existent so you have to run the engine which was a 13 hp diesel. I usually got 18 mpg on diesel. Every 3 to 5 years you have to haul out and...

My 3 year old granddaughter GIGI told what happened at school the other day. "My teacher caught this Itchy Bug and put it into a box with some green leaves. She said that the Itchy Bug will turn into a RACCOON and later it will be a beautiful butterfly".

Now for the rest of the story! After much thought and reading I thought the problem might be the brake on the hot wheel is causing the heat. My 11 year old grandson went out in the sun light to look at the trailer and he came in and said all of the 3 brake rotors are clean and shinney and the...

I have a 2008 CD-25. I always remove the plug at the steep ramp and make sure any water drains out, usually none. I cover the back of the boat with a 10 foot by 16 foot tarp held down with bungee cords. When it rains the water does not get into the back of the boat and into the bilge. With the...

Karen, I would suggest the "Anglers Cookbook" by Vic Dunaway. It is available at the FS-Store at www.floridasportsman.com/book online and the price is around $16.95. It tells you everything about cooking fish, cleaning, cutting up, frying, smoking, grilling, broiling, baking, etc. Lots of color...

I am still working to solve this problem. This week I am going to buy a laser thermal thermometer and check the actual temperatures. I also plan then to write to the Boat US Trailering Guys and talk to them about this problem. One thought I have is if when I returned home and stopped the...
