    Pontoon scissor trailer - locking pin doesn't align when top rack cranked up

    Looks like those pivot arms that can be seen have room to move into the proper position. I would put plenty of slack in the cable and do as the others said and gently use a jack. It could be one or two of the bolts holding the pivot bars got super tight, assuming they are bolted, can’t see from...

    Need some Help

    Electric Trolling motors

    I think you’ll be disappointed with it, if you can even get one. I have an 80 pound minnkota terrova ( same power motor) I use it on a small Jon boat on electric only lakes. Never check speed but on that little boat I think on a flat calm day I’d be lucky to get 4 MPH out of it. On a big heavy...

    congrats tpnfield! Now you can go out and drive slow etc and get in peoples way that are still in the rat race. 😁 Worked my tail off to retire early. Retired at 62 in Oct and thought about taking on another job. Had a few offers. After some thought I figured if I wanted to do that I should...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I guess they feel safe and it’s a spot that is pretty much out of the weather. On closer inspection it appears there is indeed 5 birds in the nest. Zoomed in right off the beak of second bird from left I spot an eyeball down there.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Being in the woods we get lots of wildlife here. Finch decided to make a nest in my wife’s summer wreath on one of our doors. Out of 5 eggs she got these four little guys. I can walk right up and look at them. Suppose they will fly in the next couple days. I’ll be glad when they do. They are...

    Honda BF 15 no tell tale

    Thanks ahicks, Issue resolved. Was overthinking it. The pump wasn’t getting enough water. I got a trashcan that was deep enough that the water level was up to where the pump is in the lower, dunked the motor and it had a good strong steady stream. I’m now a believer that in a drum you need to be...

    Honda BF 15 no tell tale

    Thanks for the reply. After some thought I’m thinking it might be as simple as the pump not getting enough water. I have a well and the pressure is not all that high for the muffs. The drum I ran it in was barely deep enough to reach the cavitation plate. The intake below the pump is clean. The...

    Trailer Plates and buying boat hours away?

    If you end up traveling to Pa just call a reputable notary in the town or area your buying, they will tell you what you need before you show up, then you could use that notary if need be.Pa has some crazy motor vehicle laws. Might be as simple as the owner signing the title and you register...

    Lake Association

    Anyone?It seems that this lake association that Ahicks posted about is a different animal. Even so, to have the power to see to it your taxes are raised without much transparency, I’d be packing my bags.

    Lake Association

    I wouldn’t pay one thin dime till I knew where the money was going. Let me see If I have this right. Who exactly makes up this lake association? Are the officials making these decisions for the entire community elected or appointed in some way? Glad I live in the sticks

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Wife and I have done several coast to coast motorcycle trips. 90% on two lane roads. Lots of hidden gems that people pass up checking out. Desert is one of them. Unfortunately it was before the time of cell cams. All my pics are in albums. Lot to see but get out there and do it because America...

    New Puppy

    I give you credit doing 4 dogs. We managed 3 for a brief period, a little over a year. Think we’ll stick with two.

    What do I have here. Steering set up.

    Yeah I just guessed at value. Figure I could always come down. Heck I’d give it to a guy that could really use it before I’d toss it.

    I put it on Craig’s list for two hundred. See if any takers are about.

    What do I have here. Steering set up.

    Thanks, Is it worth keeping for someone down the road ? Old American motorcycles is my thing. I hate when serviceable original old bike parts get trashed. Once their gone their gone. Maybe accurate resto isn’t really a thing in the boating world?
