I just installed a stereo in my boat. I added a pair of 6x9s and a Bazooka 10" with 200 watt amp. I thought my battery was fine but it isnt. The amp/sub is too much. I dont want to break down so I want to add a GOOD battery. Have always heard good things about Optima and am thinking about...
I have a few tears in my boats seats. I am trying to stop the tears from getting any worse as well as protect the seat foam. It doesnt have to look perfect, just be effective. I am thinking about using Gorilla tape, any opinions on this or something similar?
1-I just got a 19.5' deck boat and the trailer has surge brakes. This is my first experience with surge brakes. I think I understand the principle well enough as to how the brakes work, but I want to make sure. When going down the road at any speed, the trailer kind of "jerks" forward when the...

My buddy just bought an old deck boat in need of repairs. The first thing he wants to fix is the "eye" on the back. The one you use to hook your tow rope. It has been knocked out and replaced and caulked in. What is the best way to get this repaired so he can pull a tube with it?
The deck boat I just got has a few tears here and there in the upholstery. Not bad enough to reupholster. What method is best to stop the tears from getting worse? I thought about Gorilla tape, maybe?
I would like to see how others blowers are set up on their merc engines. I have an 82 Glastron SV-191 with a Merc 5.7. My blower only has one side hooked to a hose. This hose goes to an exhaust vent on the starboard side. Shouldnt the other (intake side) of the blower be hooked to a hose as...
