    3rd log for 2017 Sylvan pontoon

    Thanks for the reply. As I thought about it more, it's not a very good idea. Happened to see the new toon practically being given away and started getting ideas without really thinking them thru. At best I end up with 3/4 toon and that's just more weight and drag for my boat. or I cut...

    3rd log for 2017 Sylvan pontoon

    I have a new to us 2017 Sylvan 8522 Mirage CNF that i'm thinking of adding a 3rd log to. It's 23' with 25" diameter tubes and a 90HP Merc. It's rated for a 150 as a pontoon and can add a 250 as a tritoon. My questions are, should my center tube also be a 25" or should I bump up to a 27"...

    Flush mount plotter on Sylvan

    I'm not too concerned with theft where we're at. people leave much nicer on much nicer boats right out in the open all summer long at our marina, but it's a good point. I did find myself moving it for glare on the other boat, so Maybe I'll just mount it to the rotating bracket and forget the...

    Flush mount plotter on Sylvan

    Hi, just got a new to us Sylvan 8522 cruise n fish. It's a 2017 and it has an older fish finder on it, but I am going to switch it out with my Garmin. It appears to have a place in the dash for a flush mount plotter/fish finder, but the plastic is very thin. My Garmin does have a flush mount...

    2022 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I always liked him. Absolute anchor in every way to that devastating Ravens Defense for many years. I remember one from his broadcasting days, early on. pretty sure it was a GB game and he was doing some fan reporting and the camera didn't cut away fast enough. the guy had a hat with fake...

    He's a WR, not TE

    2022 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I think we did pretty well so far. He's big, long, fast ILB going to be paired with Campbell who was just your average vet until Joe Barry got a hold of him and he was 1st team all pro. I trust these guys know what they're looking for. Everyone knocked Rashan Gary for his production at MI too...

    2022 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I think it's a pacifying rule for everyone whining about the Chiefs and Bills game. In the grand scheme of things for me, OT isn't about equity or fairness or anything but declaring a winner. The game has been played, 2 halves have been completed to give each team a chance at each endzone...

    2021 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I haven't seen any growth from the HC or the QB all year. Wouldn't hesitate to pull the plug on that coach before the season is up and Kahn needs to realize he needs help in finding someone to run football operations if the Jags are going to have any chance at success.

    He hit the nail on the head as soon as he mentioned body autonomy. We either have it, or we may as well have nothing. I don't care about the rest. Well I do, but I don't care to discuss it much with strangers.

    2021 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I do agree, they can do whatever they want. I do agree people can do anything from complain, shut up, or turn off if they choose to. I also happen to have enjoyed sports much much more when it was more about the sport than everything else. I've found I have had to to turn off any sports...

    2006 75hp 4stroke EFI dies when throttling down

    I did not, I took it to a pretty reputable mechanic near our marina. I don't know a lot about outboards and I did read that something had to be reset with EFI when replacing that so I didn't even mess with it.

    2006 75hp 4stroke EFI dies when throttling down

    In case anybody was following or gets a similar issue in the future, it did indeed seem to be the air idler valve that was acting poorly. Worked when cold, very intermittent when warm. We've had the boat out a couple times now and it has been running great. No issues at all.

    Bimini Top Replacement?

    I replaced mine this spring from Pontoonstuff. The fabric needed replacing, but I did it one better and caught it on a tree branch in the yard and bent the frame too :) I got the 10x8. Only the first season, but i'm happy with it.

    2006 75hp 4stroke EFI dies when throttling down

    Small update, which leads me to another question. They went over the engine, no codes came up at all, but found the air idler valve was acting intermittently. So they started there. Waiting on the part so we'll see what that does. Definitely seems like it could be the culprit so i'm hopeful...
