    "Sun pad" question

    We had our boat manufacturer order a replacement seat back (goes right on the front of the engine cowling), because our original one has a "material flaw" in it. When they sent the replacement, they built the sun pads, and the seat back as one unit. Our sunpads are removeable. My question is...

    ?? Stupidity at the ramp ??

    We went to the lake today. Pulled up to the area where you prep your boat. All went well. Got the boat lined up at the ramp, had the wife back it into the water, hit the switch, and it turned over, and it wanted to start, but wouldn't. It would just start, and die. SO, as not to impede the...

    GPS question

    We have a Garmin 255W in our truck. Is there any reason that I couldn't hook it up in my boat, and run the boat across the water, and see how the GPS reads -vs- the speedometer?? Would this be accurate ?? :confused: I don't have a hand-held, or access to one, is why I ask.
