    Boat App or locator for boat launches?

    Yes I've seen many. But they always seem to lean towards great reviews. But in all reality there not always great. Lol

    Boat App or locator for boat launches?

    So I'm right on the Wisconsin border. This is probably the state I'll do my most boating. But you never know right? Any solid suggestions to find public boat launches? Thanks in advance.

    Wiring a 72 glastron v-hull.

    I actually didn't know exactly what amps to use. But your right. They are low voltage. And I didn't want to chew up the original dash which only has these two switches. It's towards the stern near battery. And fuel tank. I can switch out that fuse no problem.

    Ok. Trailer time!

    I did actually purchase this unit. Karavan model. Nice little trailer. Had to go 50 miles one way. But it's a nice little piece. Looking at getting it "titled and registered" today and my dmv. "OH the joy!" LOL. It's like the most unhappiest people on the planet.

    Wiring a 72 glastron v-hull.

    Well I have a battery kill switch. And a quick connect set up that has one main power wire. One ground. Those "I believe" can go to the switch as well. And coming off the main kill switch is longer positive and negative cables that attach to the battery. I have a 30 amp fuse I. Between that and...

    Wiring a 72 glastron v-hull.

    So. I feel kinda dumb. My main question is. Are things like the horn and headlight switch and main engine harness all grounded at the battery? Obviously an all fiberglass And wood boat.

    Ok. Trailer time!

    Well since I didn't want to delay the boating process. God knows I'm installing nearly everything new but hidden from most keen eyes. Soooo I found this guy at my local fleet farm. Great price. On sale and easy to title. I can always worry about the current trailer at a later date. Along with...

    Ok. Trailer time!

    I agree. What I'm thinking of doing is buying a 4x8 harbor freight trailer. Approx capacity is 1700 lbs. And lopping off the long tongue on the old trailer. Having it professionally welded and some gussets. And that then can be titled in Illinois.

    Ok. Trailer time!

    Well no. But Wisconsin did allow me to register the boat in my name and renew it immediately right on there website. I called first and for once in my life. Something actually worked out! Lol.

    Ok. Trailer time!

    Last hurdle on my boating journey is getting the existing trailer titled. "No title" Illinois located. Or just get a new trailer. I reached out to a few dealers near me. No trailers for a 14 foot boat. They all are much bigger. So my question is. Look for a used trailer with title. Use any...

    REPOWERING A 72 GLASTRON NEED HELP.

    I agree. But I don't mind upgrading. Especially since the pulleys themselves have small stress cracks. "50 years old. I'm too kinda cracking" lol. But everything I've taken off for safety reasons. I've properly stored. Including the original 68 mercury 35. Two stroke. And merc control box...
