    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    On my (now sold) 16' Kingfisher, I had a 45lb. thrust trolling motor. It worked just fine. But that little Starcraft hull only weighed 400 pounds not including engine, etc. All up, with the outboard, trolling motor, fuel tank and a pair of 12v batteries, it was still less than 800 pounds, not...

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    1992 Merc XR6 150hp I've added all new Faria engine gauges in my boat after a successful splash back in May. It takes me a (very) long time to get anything done, but I've been poking along. The gauges are all installed and wired up to power and ground. This morning I went out to connect...

    I was just four months old

    Discovery also jumped 1000 years into the future to get around some inconsistencies. I thought it was pretty lumpy though.

    My cable company (Spectrum) has been adding free apps, like Paramount+, Hulu, HBOmax, Disney+ and others to my service. Makes it pretty nice.

    I was just four months old

    I worked with several of the Apollo 11 guys. One was in navigation, another was electrical and the last guy actually designed the video link for TV from the moon.

    I was just four months old

    I was always interested in aircraft/aviation even as a very young child. I remember running with both arm outstretched, sand in my fists being released like contrails, while making jet noises. :LOL: I naturally moved up to space stuff and when Star Trek showed up in 1966, I was a huge fan...

    Nobody fishing?

    After I got the grass cut this morning, I decided to go to the ol' fishin' hole and see what the fish were up to. Apparently, they were at home watching TV. :LOL: The only bites I got were from a couple bugs, but I did see the resident swamp lizard. That creature was wearing camo...

    More progress! 😁 I really should remove that seat base and set it aside. I've tripped over it several times. But I only need to do "one or two" more things, so I'll wait... :rolleyes: I don't have a bus bar for the ground wires and didn't want to wait days and days to have one delivered...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    This morning I did some more soldering and adding extensions to the console indicator lights. Made good progress, then ran into an odd thing. When I added the indicator light to the courtesy light switch, the courtesy light would stay OFF when I turned the switch to ON. But the dash indicator...
