    non alcoholic beer

    Just an enlightening side bar... By law.... "NA" beer up to 0.5% "Non Alcoholic" beer 0.03 to 0.05% 7.5, NA (0.5%) beers = 1 shot of 80 proof whiskey 75, Non Alcoholic (0.05%) beers = 1 shot of 80 proof whiskey

    Stingray sitting correctly on bunker trailer?

    I would contact customer support to get factory recommendations. My builder was very specific about bunk locations. X across at the back, tapered to Y in the front, based upon the design of the hull structure.

    non alcoholic beer

    K FWIW…that wee bit of alcohol (0.05%) turns out to be 0.008 oz compared to 0.72 oz in a 4.5%, 16 oz beer….a “shot” is 1.5 oz

    Basic sonar with GPS and lake maps?

    IMHO… side scan on anything smaller than a 9” display isn’t feasible in use. By the time the screen is scaled to depth, you’re looking for tiny dots on a display. Throw in some glare from the sun and it’s unreadable. Schools of bait show up pretty well, but I'm typically looking for small...

    Clean out live well lines + water in the fuel tank

    I’m a bit confused…I have screens on my pump intakes and cleanable in-line filters behind them. Never had an issue either my livewell or raw water washdown pumps. My bait and live wells run directly overboard. I stick the hose in the drain and back flush the line to clear any remaining organic...

    Helping a Marine neighbor out

    What is your criteria for “pounds” beers? A six pack a day? A 12 pack a day? A case a day? Back in the day, I’d drink 4-5 beers socializing at the pub after work then take a 6 home with me. Easily drink a 12 pack of “lawn mowing beer” a day working around the farm on a weekends. Looking...

    Are pontoons easy to repair by welding?

    Generally speaking, most aluminum extrusions/structural are 6XXX series aluminum which are technically not "bendable", although some you can do a bit of "cold forming" before the material stress cracks. 3XXX and 5XXX series aluminum are very malleable. I'd cut the damaged section out/away and...

    Transducer mounting Question?

    Did I not answer your question? You will get interference anytime you have the prop in reverse. If that’s ok with you, you’re good to go.

    safety chain question

    The hooks are the weakest link. The “S” type hooks are the worst of the worst. The class 4 hitch on the F150 has poor/inconvenient chain connection points. Ended up buying a set of shackles for ease of connecting chains of adequate strength.
