    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    We took the engine off today and ran into issues when trying to get it mounted properly. The upper bolts worked well enough, but when torquing the lower bolts, the nut started crushing the plywood transom. The torque spec is 55 lbs. There is no aluminum plate covering that portion of the...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    This happened today, but it's all illusion. 🤨🪄 Gonna have to be pulled back off and redone. And yeah, the AV plate is way too high. Once I reinstall, I'll get the jack plate adjusted down to being even with the bottom and go from there.

    Yow! 😲 Is there maybe a TV station in your area that investigates this kind of stuff? Like "10 on your side" or something? Man. 😬😵‍💫

    Yah, I've seen those and will probably get one in the future when I'm too old or beat up to do it with the regular winch.

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Eleven days later and my buddy hasn't had a chance to work on the trailer yet. So the boy and I brought the boat home and got it back into the garage. :sneaky: I can't crawl under stuff anymore (I can barely walk now), but my bud gave us instructions this afternoon on how to adjust the bunks...

    Need to vent....

    ^^This.^^ I'm 71 and my days of wrenching on cars is long gone. I've had warranties on my cars for years now and will never have another vehicle without one. Dealerships? Depends on yours and what's available in your area. The dealership where I bought my car gave exemplary service. Their...

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Yup, I've tested by turning off the Wi-Fi on my phone and I'm only getting about 10 meg download speed. Ugh. How 1990s! :LOL:

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Well, I did a lot of reading and video watching last night and the Superbox is another IPTV device. Pretty sketchy on legalities and possible access to reprehensible stuff. Not something I want. A bunch of folks said that their boxes became a "prohibited device" by their ISP after using...

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    I'm watching videos of it now. Interesting. :unsure: Current price is $359. But that's less than 2 months of my cable bill. This video gives the basics and some unnecessary tech stuff, but he provides a link to a channel list.

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Yeah, I'm 50 or more miles from stations, so that will influence the height of my antenna. I'm a little concerned about that height factor since I live in the lightning capital of the US. ⚡🌩️
