    How Do You Diagnose a Soft Spot in a Fiberglass Boat Deck?

    You may get lucky and it’s mainly just the deck, as others have mentioned, they rot from the bottom up. I took on a 85 17.5’ and five years later it’s coming together. I’ll never recoup the cost but it’s going to be a solid rig when it’s done. Complete cap off rebuild and transom, paint is done...

    Extra Bilge Pump

    non alcoholic beer

    Helped a buddy with a project several years ago, he said no drinking until we were done. He said he had beer in the truck, so I figured it was fine. When we got done, I opened the truck and there on the floor was brown paper bag with a six pack of odouls. In the heat, temperature in the 80’s...

    I was ‘That’ guy at the ramp coming in yesterday.

    I was that guy around 20 years ago. Our lake has a very shallow launch back then, it’s nice now. I backed in and got the rear wheels off the pad, dropped a foot and was stuck bad!

    Engine is gas lighting me

    I usually pull the stick up a couple inches and let it sit for about five minutes. That allows the oil to settle in the tube to where it wants to be. As far as milky, it’s probably just condensation from sitting.

    Outdrive oil level- dipstick or vent plug?

    ^^ This. That hole in the shaft is small. It takes a bit for it to settle in. Now when you have the proper level, you use the dipstick to check the level easily before you go for a cruise. I wish mercruiser had this feature!

    It’s easy to keep things clean. It’s hard to get them clean if you neglect them. Yes I even wax my yard equipment.

    Really dry around here

    Haven’t mowed the lawn in two weeks. The grass isn’t growing much at all up here in northern Wi. The little rain we do get isn’t doing anything.
