Location, country, state, ocean, river, or lake boating, and climate, are so often important to giving an accurate and complete answer. If people are reluctant to tell is if they live in Ely Minnesota, Miami Florida, or...

    boat accident video

    Did anyone else happen to see this video? Thought it would have been posted by now. Really scary stuff. The news story and pending lawsuit state that the driver could not see over the helm, and his family member says he was distracted, playing with his phone all day. Amazing that there is...

    The elusive Star Trek V center console

    Found this gem for sale locally. Have only ever seen one in a brochure. Can't find other photos online. If the hull was wider, maybe deeper, and longer, I'd buy it. LOL. Anyway, it suppose to be a 1977 15' Star Trek V. Here are a few photos for your enjoyment.

    Northern Flying Squirrels.

    Anyone else have these critters? I had one in my attic last winter. Somehow he ended up in the kitchen, chased him out the door. They are about the size of a chipmunk, with huge skin flaps on each side of their body. I now have at least 4 of them visiting my bird feeder each night. Appear to be...

    Multiple battery, grounding, good, bad, ? ?

    I rebuilt my boat a few years ago. Including a complete rewire. All worked well. Everything is wired correctly, well, except for not to ABCXYZ... boat wiring colors. This year, installed new sonar units, and they seem to be more sensitive to low voltage (when starting the main motor). I decided...

    Bimini photos for my Mariner

    These first 3 show it in the stored position. Pretty much out of the way for fishing bow or stern. I run at speed with it in this position. The top is 8' long, a little over 6' 8" tall.

    FRS / GMRS radios, and GMRS FCC License

    Many of us have these portable radios for use while in the outdoors. I'm just curious how many of us may be using the GMRS channels, but not getting an FCC license to do so. The poll is anonymous, so be honest. Now ain't that an oxymoron ?

    Securing Bimini Question ??

    I added a bimini to my fishing boat this summer. No previous experience with them. Then I cross a wake or make a quick course correction, the bimini gets to swaying from side to side.

    Flo-Torq II install question

    Do you seat the hub parts together before installing on the prop shaft? In other words, do you press/hammer them together? I have read that some people do. Have also read that it is not needed. Just install, then torque to 100 ft lb to seat, then back off the nut, 55 ft lb being the minimum...
