    Deuce has had it

    with coolers that can't survive his adventures. I bought a 120 quart Igloo about this time last year to take on weekend rafting trips (class I-II) and to use on the barge when another family joins us. I acknowledge I'm kinda hard on stuff, but I've already broken off both latches. That was the...

    Battery Issue? in the Admiral's Car

    2000 ES 300. Two year old Interstate battery. Two weeks ago I noticed it was really dragging when starting. I took a peek at the battery and saw some corrosion. I didn't have time to clean the posts at that moment so I sprayed them with a little of the same stuff I use on the boat batteries (not...

    Might Want to Check the Date Before You Respond

    There are several two plus year old threads that have been resurrected by a new member and have received responses from some not so new members. No skin off my nose of course, just thought I'd mention it. Apparently it creates extra work for someone, because it's a contentious issue in some of...

    Good Stuff

    I've been having corrosion issues on my party barge. The last two times out I've had to disconnect everything from the battery and scrape the posts and connectors to get enough contact to start the motor. Over the weekend I replaced the corroded connectors and sprayed the posts with this stuff...

    Time Share

    Anyone have or had one? I often see them offered on CL cheap or even free. What's the deal? Do people just no longer want to pay the maintenance fees? I've thought for several years about picking one up, but I'm not entirely clear on how it works. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Need Cross Bars For My Expy Roof Rack

    2005 model. Turns out they're not quite as easy to find as I thought they'd be unless I want to pay over three hundred bucks for a set of blue oval brand. I'm finding many "will probably fit" universal type options, which will be fine, but I know some other iboaters drive Expeditions so I was...

    Too Much Smoke?

    Another thread got me to thinking about this. I have a 2002 two stroke 90 horse Merc that is oil injected with the reservoir integrated into the motor. It starts easy and runs like a top, but the first start of the day has become a real ramp fogger. It wasn't like that when I bought the rig but...

    Anybody Going to Greers Ferry?

    The Coops and other assorted rabble will be there Sunday through Wednesday. We'll be taking in the fireworks show at Fairfield and kicking it. Might be a burger or two grilled.:cool:

    Serious Fun Yesterday

    Just a few pics of a great time with family yesterday. The girl on the tube with the ankle biter (Cookie) is the admiral jr., Gracie. The rest are my sister, nephews, and niece. The admiral and my BIL are on the boat drinking all my beer.:facepalm: The sunset photo was taken on the Arkansas...

    Grease Escaping

    My trailer has the Posilube type setup with the zerk on the end of the spindle and the open cap with the little rubber disk shaped plug. I've had the rig for two years. Recently I did some brake work and after replacing the wheels I regreased with a gun until the grease started oozing out around...

    Where Does Your Post Belong?

    It's gratifying to see so many new members seeking and giving advice, but the advent of summer has ushered in the usual frequent misplacement of threads; outboard questions in the Pontoon section, fishfinder and stereo questions in the General Boating section, Pontoon questions in the General...

    MRI This Afternoon. Kinda Skeert

    Don't worry. It's not as bad as it sounds. They'll be peaking at a shoulder that refuses to behave. I'm just reeeeeeeeally claustrophobic and am not looking forward to being confined to a culvert.:eek:

    Visibility of All Around Light

    The all around light on my party barge mounts on the top of my bimini and is (was) the adjustable folding type. The bracket recently broke and was irreparable. I was unable to find an OEM replacement in stock anywhere but did find one of these, which I actually prefer for various reasons...

    Like to smoke cigars on your boat?

    Re: Like to smoke cigars on your boat? I recall your earlier post extolling the virtues of root beer as well. There's a local brewery here called Diamond Bear that produces a craft root beer. They will sell it to the general public, but they won't bottle it. Not sure why since they have the...

    Surge Brake Problems?

    My 21' barge is on a single axle trailer with surge brakes and a Titan coupler. The brakes haven't worked for the two years I've had the rig. I'm confident towing without them, but I've recently learned they're required by law (after re-confirming with highway patrol and receiving different...

    Smoky Start. Will Synthetic Help?

    Title pretty well sums it up. I have 2002 two stroke 90 horse Merc on my party barge. She runs great and never gives me any trouble, but smokes a lot when I first fire her up. Would switching to synthetic oil (or doing anything else simple) reduce the smoke any?

    Yippee. Got me some pecan.

    So I've been using cherry logs in my smoker and I finally burned the last of them. I was wondering where my next hookup would come from when I saw an ad on CL for some pecan. The gentleman just wanted it out of his back yard. I went over there this afternoon and backed right up to it. I got it...
