The subject says it all. Sick and tired of fighting 12 year old electrical wiring and lights. The harness had been repaired multiple times and had a bunch of splices and repairs. The lights were no longer waterproof and always filling up with water. When the lights didn't work again yesterday it...
2004 Johnson 115HP 2 stroke Carburetor. The motor came from the factory with Champion QL78YC plugs and that is what I have always used. I need to change the plugs and I have a friend who is a mechanic and he swears by NGK plugs. I am tempted to stay with Champion because I have never had any...
I did a bonehead thing and let my son in law use the boat. He towed it with a questionable tow vehicle and dragged the safety chains. A bunch of the links are ground down half way through due to dragging. Needless to say I have to fix it now.

I usually tow with my Bimini top closed and lowered. I was wondering if I replaced the plastic hardware with stainless or some other type of metal would it be OK to tow with the top closed but raised.
I have attached a picture with the top closed but raised. I have put red circles around each...
Re: Suggestions Wanted -- Bimini Top Selection -- 21 ft OB, 4ft or 6ft Bimini Top
I have a 17' bow rider. It has a 6' Bimini top. I have been totally satisfied with the size. I don't think I would want it any smaller.
The boat is being pulled out of the backyard and into the driveway. Cover is coming off and preparations for the new boating season will begin.
She needs a new shift cable. I picked up a couple of new cables a few weeks ago and I started the job last fall. I figure 2 hours max to finish...
I am a left leg amputee. Very mobile for my condition and a lot of people while knowing that I walk with a limp, don't realize that I have a prosthetic leg. I am fairly athletic and in good shape.
Last year I tried to learn water skiing and then wakeboarding. To be honest the whole experience...
Re: Power Trim not responding, able to hear relays on engine clicks
I definitely paid way to much. Inexperience and I wanted the part fast because I wanted to get the boat in the water ASAP.
My transom is notched so there was no way I was going to get the pins out with the motor mounted on the...
I have been on Winnisquam more times than I can count but I have never been on Winnipesaukee, Basically I am looking for some recommendations on public boat launches that I can use and what time do they fill up etc. Paying a ramp fee or parking is not an issue.
My wife was slow to adopt boating but has finally gotten the bug. It started last year when I made her take a boating class and then I forced her to learn to drive the boat. Once she started driving the boat it got interesting. Now she has the bug and loves to drive around at WOT etc.
Yesterday...
There is kid in high school who lives around the corner. He is always bringing around his mechanical contraptions to see if I can help him fix them. He has been doing this since he was around 8 years old or so. He is a pretty good mechanic and I have been glad to teach him over the years. He...
While I realize this is a difficult question to answer in general terms I will ask it regardless.
My current ride is an '03 Four Winns bowrider with a 115 HP Johnson. My boat is rated for 130 HP maximum. My uncle has a pontoon without a motor and my 115 will work on it fine. I am considering...
