    To many forums!

    I wish they would consolidate the amount of forums they have. Some forums get a reply asap, others I wait days and still see my post in the last few posts.

    Darn transducer didn't work

    So I am sitting on my boat right now and I found out the darn transducer I got to replace my old one didn't fix the problem. I was getting -- on my display so I thought it might be the transducer, so I got an identical looking one that also runs at 200khz and is the same size so I can put it in...

    Cat brought home dinner...again

    Anyone else have the problem of your cat putting a fresh kill on your deck every once in a while? Last night he got the largest mouse I have ever seen. On the bright side he caught a snake that slithered it's way into my house. He never eats them, he is only a sportsman -Hostage

    Disrespectful people

    I was walking down the dock on my Marina and I noticed a center console fishing boat, which was fairly dirty. As I walked by I noticed empty bear cans scattered all over on the deck a long with an faded American flag just laying on the deck with other gear. It kind of bugged me seeing the flag...

    Using your head?

    It seems that a lot of people including myself who have a head (toilet) do not use them. I know I am scared and don't want any mess and in a small 19ft Cuddy it doesn't seem to comfortable to use especially in the warmer weather when we go out to boat. Are they really hard to clean etc? I...

    Do not throw your unwanted ropes in the water!

    I manged to pick up a ski-rope this weekend on my prop. I noticed it when I took the boat out of the water. It almost caused a fender-bender as my engine stalled when I went in reverse and it wouldn't let me shift it back in forward. Luckily I was quick with the ore and the g/f on the dock...

    Lost in the forest of fishing poles, please help.

    I haven't gone fishing in a long time and when I walk into Walmart and Dicks I am blown away by the selection of poles they have. I can understand that you might use different poles for different situations/fish. I live near Lake Ontario, have the Erie Canal in my back yard and the fingers...

    Need Fish Finder suggestions

    I think my transducer that shows only my depth is shot. I am thinking of replacing it and getting a fish finder. I would like to get a one that would replace my existing thru-hull transducer. The hole in my hull looks about 2 inches in diameter and it is made of nylon/plastic. Don't want...

    Have you ever lost your keys?

    After spending 15mins looking around for my keys I noticed my cat was laying one of the many spots I put my keys. I pick him up and sure enough he was laying on them. I guess he didn't want me to leave to get some supplies for my boat.

    Anchor Question

    I noticed when pulling up to a beach area that many people had two anchors. The standard bow anchor and one digging into the sand at the stern. I tied my stern up to a fallen tree and had the bow anchored, but I felt to close for comfort and I think I lost my skeg that day when some jerk went...

    I hope I didn't need this?

    I pulled my boat out of the water today and noticed the verticle fin below the lower unit is missing. I think I lost it when I was tired up on a popular sand bar and some yahoo went way over the speed limit and created a mammoth wave. I didn't notice anything other than I felt like I was over...
