I'm hoping someone can solve my bearing problems on our E-Z loader trailer we use for our S2 7.9. The trailer is usually only in freshwater twice a year, once to launch in the Spring then to retrieve the boat in the fall. We use bearing buddies, and fill them before we launch, then I bring the...

Now that we finally have the Chack Chack back in Oregon where we can take on some projects after three years of having the boat out East while we where looping our first project was to add a Suzuki SMIS system while retaining our analog gauges. To do this you simply have to pull the NMEA 2000...
