    Your Best Technique for Rope Starting Merc 20hp EFI

    Carry a cordless drill with you if rope starting is not an option. I have saw guys make mods to there cover so the hood does not need to be removed to use a drill. More noise when running with a hole in the hood though.

    Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

    Yep, owned a few short hairs over the years, never as hunting dogs, just pets. You definitely could not hide anything from them as they could shut it out no matter how well hid.

    Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

    Have a friend in our area that tracks animals and other things. He has a little Dashound ( long haired weiner dog) that has an awesome nose ! Never heard about not being able to finish a deer off, so not sure what the rules are here. I do know that his little dog has found other pets and even...

    hub dust cap

    I have had many bearing buddies or other bearing covers like them over my 60 plus years of owning trailers. All the ones I had, had a small overflow hole so excess grease would come out that overflow hole rather than being forced out the seals from to much pressure. I just assumed all were...

    hub dust cap

    Only tried the caps with a rubber center plug one time. They came with a used trailer. After filling with grease, the rubber inserts kept popping out when going down the road, allowing the grease to come out. Tossed them and went with bearing buddies. Never interested in trying them again.

    What prop to use 50hp evinrude

    Makes no difference what prop Suzuki recomends....the wot rpm is needed to know if a pitch change is needed. No sense buying a prop with the wrong pitch, unless you enjoy spending money foolishly.

    Boat values

    That can depend on condition of the boat your trying to sell. Is there any type if demand for the boat your selling? Only once did I ever have a problem selling one of my boats. Nothing was wrong with it, just a slow market, and the boat was not popular even though it was a Starcraft. Took...

    adding a forward fishing deck

    Once you get it supported, my guess is the fiberglass would be heavier than the wood, and the wood will look better, and fit your needs better.

    With the wife becoming disabled a few years back, I have been giving some thought to downsizing. Would hate to give up the home we built in 1999 but it is getting difficult to maintain 2800 sq ft on my own. On top if that there is 5 acres of land to maintain. One of the biggest issues...

    Redoing a Starcraft Islander transom using Coosa board.

    Maby just me, but why would anyone want to put fiberglass in an aluminum boat ?

    Redoing a Starcraft Islander transom using Coosa board.

    That I/O transom needs lots of strength !! I would stick with plywood if it were me and forget the foods board or you might be replacing it again. Not sure how they justify the price on that flimsy material. If you do the plywood correctly, you will never have to do it again in your life...
