    Went out last night to do a bit of night fishing. I don't normally go out on weekends or when its close to a holiday, but it was just after a big storm and I have found the fishing is often better.

    OK I will sort of set this up. This years I started it off by adding a second 6 gallon tank with the idea of running the oil mix in 6 gallon batches. I bought 8 16 oz bottles of 2 stroke oil so when I fill up its a dump a bottle in and add 6 gallons and back to fishing. No measuring no fuss. I...

    Thought I would go out and do some cleaning on the toon yesterday and being as it was a nice 75 degree day I thought I would ask the daughter in law and grand son along.

    Wise pontoon boat seats

    I noticed a seam splitting on the new seats I bought back in January. I bought the all plastic ones to not have rot issues. When cleaning the boat up a few days ago I noticed a seam splitting and today I did a closer inspection to discover that the plastic seat bottom is broken and why the seam...

    mariner 9.9 lower unit

    Well I got a bit of good news today, about 5 weeks ago I spent a real hard 3 days going through my lower unit to fix several issues left over from the PO lack of maintenance and general stupidity that included a silicone installed water pump tube and a shift shaft adjustment that was causing it...

    Had the family out today and had a guy in a tinny hit my boat and gouged a chunk out of a log and then he drove off like it never happened but I was able to run him down and get a picture of the boat and reg numbers and him.

Being a bit concerned because I do order from amazon I looked up their...

    3 way light switch set up

    Was recently thinking about adding a set of lights on the front of my toon for landing fish at night, and drew up a print using common toggle switch's and thought I would toss it out for any one to use. I have 2 seperate fishing stations and it would be handy to be able to turn it on or off from...

    Ain't boats great

    Over the last 3 days I have been working on my lower unit, I bought the motor used last year and I knew it had several issues when I bought it. But I wont go into all of that. Hopefully the last issue is now fixed. The problem was if you pushed the throttle up to fast it would pop out of and...

    9.9 Mariner Lower Unit problem

    I have a 1996 9.9 Mariner ser. 0G119661. And it will jump out and back into gear if I give it to much throttle to fast. So far just cranking the friction lock down stops it, how ever I suspect it is a much deeper problem and I sure would like to find and fix it before it becomes a expensive...
