Hey all,
I sold my boat and don't need my Standard Horizon HX870. I am trying to sell it. I didn't realize resetting an MMSI was such a pain. However, it appears Standard Horizon says you can do that if you have the right firmware version.
First question: What is the reason they make MMSI...
New SS prop. Awesome performance. Got desired results, but WOT rpm "too high"
Hello all.
I have a 2016 carolina skiff jvx18 with a yamaha f70. I had an aluminum 3 blade prop, 13.75 / 15. I ran about 31 to 32 mph GPS speed and wot is 5600 - 5800 rpm.
I needed a better hole shot.
I bought a 4...
I just put together a fiberglass shallow water anchor. As opposed to adding a bracket to my boat I think a rope and a tie off works just as well.
I bought 2 aluminum pieces from a rock climbing store. I bought a rappelling ring and a climbers carabiner. Both rated for large weight so no...
These rubber gear ties you see on my grab bar. I bought a couple to hold a few things down. Next thing I know i have them wrapped around various poles. I use them to hold a knife a couple pliers and other various things while out on the water. They have become incredibly handy.
Hey all. I think I know what I'm doing but checking one concern.
I have two 12 volts batteries for my trolling motor. I have the marinco receptacle with charging plug. Basically it comes with 2 plugs , one black for your trolling motor and one red for the charger.
Basically I need to buy a...
Hey all. I have a 2016 Carolina skiff jvx 18. I fully grasp how to run batteries in series to get 24 volts, here is where I am stuck though. .
The boat is prewired. It has 2 sets of wires. Battery 1 red and black and battery 2 red and black. I tried running them in a series. With a jumper but...
Hey all. I'm looking for a great "picturesque" place to go on a cruise in my boat and catch some fish . I've taken some trips to Charleston and always thought some of those grassy rivers would be fun or going through savannah.
I live in Florida so I know all about the Keys and Pine Island...
Hey all, I want to get an "economical value" rig for my son for Christmas. Basically, I'm the type of fisherman that doesn't get the best, but I get the best Walmart offers. Haha. I use a few Okuma reels and Abu Garcia. Nothing great. My son is falling in love with the sport though so I thought...
Hello again.
I am installing a radio in my boat. Can I just run the red power wire to a switch and just leave it at that? I know the downside is my radio won't have "memory" anymore, but I really don't care. I just want it for bluetooth. It's a gauge style stereo. I'll never use the FM...
I've stared at marine store aisles, home depot and ace hardware long enough. Here's my idea. I'd like to get a small dry box that would drop in to a hole in a center console. I have a lot of room. I don't do more than basic flats so I'll not need a big screen on this thing. So, I think it would...
I have a 2016 CS JVX 18.
I just bought it a few weeks ago, brand new.
Should I be concerned that the welds on the grab bar are already showing rust with some dripping down the console?
I have only put about 3 hours on this thing.
My thoughts are 1 of 2 things:
1. It's just going to happen...
Hey all, I am just looking for some opinions.
I have a 2016 CS JVX 18.
I thoroughly enjoy the hydro turf on my brother's mud boat. Granted, his boat NEEDS it. It gets really hot and uncomfortable. My boat obviously does not really need it.
I was thinking of putting a little on the front...
Hey all,
I wasn't really sure if I should make this topic extremely specific to one question, and post multiple threads, or just do the one. I'm not sure what the mods here prefer, every board is different.
Some of you may have seen my other posts, as many of you have helped me before. I had a...
I have a 1988 Mercruiser 165 3/7 L engine. I've posted here a few times about some minor issues and just looking for some tips. We finally get all the parts up and running, and after some massive shaking and no horsepower to accelerate, I find out today that the 4th chamber has no compression...
I just had my starter rebuilt. At first I tried the easy stuff, cleaning connections and checking to make sure battery is ok.
Well, it me a month to find someone and I didn't take pictures of the wires. So now I forgot how they go.
From what I recalled , there were 5 wwires. 4 large and...
