    Commonality with Auto Works

    Lots of quirks out there. I heard/read somewhere that once the design is finalized, the engineers fight over where controls are put as its limited real estate. For the life of me, I will not understand why the Tow/Haul button in my '21 Ram 1500 is a separate button. It very easily could have...

    Cabin air intake 2015 Silverado??

    Engineers design things to be assembled quickly, not be repaired. Why else would an oil filter for a Hemi Dodge Ram be right above the front cross bar?

    Marine Max data breach?

    Looks legit: https://www.marinemax.com/connect/lifestyles/security-notice If you're still not convinced...call them. Take ya all of 2 minutes. Seems there's a ton of stores across the US.

    Tow Smart "Submersible" LED tail lights are junk... better solution?

    Mine are whatever Coyote trailers slapped on. Going off their parts list/cost, I somehow think they're Chinesium quality. Everything else about the trailer screams cheap so I'm not going out on a limb on this. Which reminds me I need to bring a wire wheel and some touch up paint with me on vaca...

    Replacement speakers for a 2016 Four Winns H190 SS.

    Nope. But I bet if you pop the trim ring off and pull the screws you can figure out the mounting depth used and what you have available. Also check the ohm rating as it should be stamped on the speaker magnet.

    How do I clean bumper marks on fiberglass hull

    Rubbing compound followed by a liberal coating of wax will work. Some manufacturers market a "cleaning wax" which is an all-in-one solution....rubbing compound and a wax. May or may not work for your specific application.

    Boat age vs financing.

    Talk to the lender as they're going to be the authoritative source of what they will and won't finance.

    Small Oil Leak 23' VP-350-CE

    I'd personally take it to the marina and have them correct it under warranty. Pretty sure you have a 5 yr warranty from Volvo.

    Lake Ontario

    I'd go outboard and Honda having owned a 115HP model. My next, and last boat, will be outboard as I'm over the Merc. Dealers and parts are plentiful, but their product, at least the Force outboard I owned and the wonderful blender/shift interrupter crapola on my current boat are enough to turn...

    Lake Ontario

    I've been out on Lake Ontario on every boat in my signature. Not saying its the smartest thing I've ever done as the 15' MFG was a wreck of a boat BUT I have done it....in calm weather. Personally, anything less than 20' is a no go. Even then, depending on wind/waves that might be dicey. My...

    Why I'm nervous boating at night...

    15 years ago maybe...over 4th of July my uncle and I anchored in the St Lawrence River to watch fireworks over Boldt Castle. Started lightly misting at the end of the show. Making our way back through the channel it was pitch black, only thing you could make out were the beacons on the channel...

    Duranautic DN-14 Transom

    It's just giving the outboard something to clamp to. It's tied to the transom and floor. I wouldn't be worried about that as its not like you're strapping a 70HP 4 stroke to it.

    Used Boat Values - Value tools

    You're in prime boating season where prices are up. Wait a couple months where owners need to consider laying up for the winter again - winterization, storage, shrink wrap, etc. Prices will drop. Or pivot to something else that is in your price range today.

    I am starting to believe some of the global warming in N J.

    Correction...(4) confirmed tornadoes... https://www.wivb.com/weather-news/tornado-touches-down-in-western-new-york-as-beryl-remnants-hit/ Apparently I need to start preparing for this kind of weather.

    I am starting to believe some of the global warming in N J.

    Heck we had (3) tornadoes touch down yesterday...in WNY. Unheard of for my area.

    ad boat identification

    What does the paperwork say? That's going to be key on this. Beyond that it looks like any other generic 14' aluminum boat from probably 70's era or so? Starcraft, Lowe, Lund, etc... Looks like the rental boats we had in Canada eons ago which had about a 9-15HP outboard on it. Got soaked with...

    Tahoe 1950 Deckboat - fish finder overheat

    Huh? All of mine were/are under the windshield, on top of the dash. From my very first Eagle in my Bayliner, to the Eagle that was in my FourWinns, to the Garmin in my current boat. Problem with using a fan is that it's going to use ambient air so you're not likely to get cool air going across...
