    Transfer Case Leak Suddenly Much Worse After Service

    My 2005 Expedition has had a very slight T case leak for a year or so. I've just been telling them to check it at every oil change and it's never even been low. That's how small it's been. At the first of the year I took it to the dealer for a bunch of maintenance; ignition tuneup, tranny flush...

    In case anyone misses me this weekend

    Re: In case anyone misses me this weekend Canoe and kayak. Wouldn't be able to get a barge down the Buffalo. It's a paddler's river. If the level exceeds six feet on that reach I take the raft just so I can be lazy and bounce off stuff. It was just below four feet when we launched on Saturday...

    John Boat Trolling Motor Mount

    I've been looking for a trolling motor mount for my latest john boat acquisition. I usually take my johns to the welder and have him wrap a block of 2x4 with aluminum and weld that onto the bow. It works great, but it ain't cheap and the next owner gets to take it with him, so I looked for...

    Mass Email Distribution

    Any of you guys know how to send a PDF to several hundred peeps at once? Ideally I'd like to build a distribution list that I can use a few times a year. This is for a newsletter. I can't count on the person who's supposed to handle it to do it right, and she's mad at me too (long...

    What a Sixteen Foot Jon Will Do for You

    I've splashed my new to me sixteen foot Polarkraft a few times, but last week she got a pretty good workout up on the White River. Just thought I'd show a shot of her in action (action being a relative term:rolleyes:). That's my brother in the stern. He's just a shade under three bills. In the...

    2 .22s = 1 12 gauge

    I was cleaning out a closet the other day and ran across two .22 rifles; a cheapie Marlin semi-auto and a nylon Remington Model 66. Obviously I wasn't using them since I'd forgotten they were even there.:facepalm: So, the next day I asked my gun nut buddy (we all have at least one, right?) if he...

    Expy Wheel Squeal

    My 2005 Expedition 4x4 just this side of 90k miles has developed a squeal. I'm almost positive it's in the front driver side wheel, and it only occurs when I turn left. Here's what happens. I turn hard left to go up the ramp and just before I straighten out it starts. It increases in speed along...

    It's Alive

    Re: It's Alive; Now With Pics Re: It's Alive; Now With Pics Saturday's weather was spectacular so I dragged Pop out to a local lake to splash the new member of the fleet and wet a hook. I found the boat to be big, wide, stable, dry and fast. Didn't have a GPS but at WOT we were doing at least...

    question on transporting a canoe on the roof of a small pickup

    Re: question on transporting a canoe on the roof of a small pickup Hmmmm. Does any of these applications strike you as high stress? The frames the rowers are sitting on are secured to the boats with cam straps. If the cam straps were to fail the frames would come loose, and in the case of...

    It's Alive

    My latest acquisition is a sixteen foot Mod V Polarkraft with 25 horse Merc. The poor girl languished in my uncle's back yard for years until he finally consented to let me come rescue her ('cause that's the kind of hero I am;)). I'm proud to say that she now has: driver side hub, curb side...

    My "Inheritance"

    So I have an uncle (dad's brother) with whom I have a lot in common. We both like to camp and fish etc. and we're both really big on family. He was once a very avid duck hunter, even guiding some on the side, but he lost interest five or six years ago and stuck his duck boat in the back yard...

    Bearings Fine But Noisy

    Okay, here's a quandary I've never encountered until now. I just picked up a john boat and the trailer needed some serious attention. I had to replace a wheel and hub and both sets of lug nuts; no problems there, but the bearings on the curb side had the tell-tale bad bearings rumble of death. I...

    Said Goodbye To a Great One Yesterday

    Having buried two grandparents, and aunt and an uncle in the last two years I've had my fill of funerals for a while, but yesterday was the toughest one yet for me. My uncle Mike was a step-uncle if there is such a thing, but he was one of the finest men I've ever known. I think the entire town...

    Bunk Carpet

    I replaced my bunks two years ago. The bunks are fine, but the carpet I used not so much. When I picked it up at the marine store I told them I didn't think it would hold up very well. Sadly I was right, so I'll be replacing it soon. Anyone have a particular brand they like? This is for a barge...
