    Suggestions on how to fill my onboard gas tank?

    I appreciate the link. I've had Carpal Tunnel in the past, but my current physical limitations go way beyond that. And no, I don't want to turn this thread into another old guy health problems gripe session! :LOL:

    And none of that stuff has anything to do with the purpose of my thread. :sneaky:

    Suggestions on how to fill my onboard gas tank?

    I'm a bass fisherman, so pretty much WOT all the time when the engine is running. 😃 But, like most bass anglers, I go from spot to spot and then stop and use the electric trolling motor for the bulk of the day. During an 8 hour fishing day, the engine might only run for 10 or 15 minutes in...

    Suggestions on how to fill my onboard gas tank?

    Hi guys. I guess I was too subtle about my concern. The italics above are the real issue. I'm talking about not being able to physically lift or lug fuel cans around, whether 5 gallons or 6 or 10 or 12; dolly or not. And I don't use a marina, so it'll be a gas station. I already know how to...

    Suggestions on how to fill my onboard gas tank?

    I have a 1997 Mirrocraft that I've been getting ready to splash. It has a 150HP Mercury 2-stroke outboard (premix) and a standard fill location at the stern of the boat. All good. But as splash time nears, I'm wondering how to get premix fuel into the tank. My beat up old body wouldn't do...

    I think I need to start a thread on how the heck to fill up the gas tank in this boat. The fill location is easy to reach, but dealing with 2-stroke fuel is an issue. I'm not sure that it'd be smart to try to lift 5 gallon cans in there. So, I did post a thread about this here...

    Six days ago, I injured my left shoulder while working on the boat. I treated it with rest, ice and Tylenol for a few days and it was feeling pretty good. Then last night, I completely wrecked it while putting a gallon container onto the top shelf of the fridge. I iced it twice last night and...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Ah, but medicine, engineering and even teaching (think AI) are constantly evolving and changing, so those folks need refresher courses and perhaps testing or certifications. But owning and operating a firearm isn't like that, although laws may change, so owners need to be aware of such...

    Nobody fishing?

    I did a very similar thing years ago when I was living in Maryland. I'd launched my Bass Tracker and after I parked my truck, I realized that I'd left the drain plug out! D'oh! 🤪 I retrieved the boat, got it on the trailer and put the plug into place. Then, I relaunched and beached the boat...

    Nobody fishing?

    I injured my left shoulder 6 days ago. Treated it with ice and Tylenol for 3 days and it was feeling better. Then last night, I completely wrecked it! I was lifting a gallon container to the top shelf in the fridge and Kablamo! I was supposed to go fishing tomorrow morning (the last late...

    Yah, my wife won't be in the boat until it's fully checked out and ready to fish. She actually prefers it that way. :cool:

    At this point, the boat is now "technically" able to be splashed. :cool: The engine runs and the new hydraulic steering system is installed and working correctly. And the TM is there as backup. I'd like to get the TM batteries mounted into plastic boxes and circuit breakers installed before...
