    ShoreLand'r trailers and parts

    I called iboats last week to try to get a replacement fender for my tandem axle ShoreLand'r trailer. The rep was extremely helpful, but nothing iboats has would match the measurements I need. He told me I'd have to get it from a dealer, or maybe someone else might have an aftermarket fender...

    Passenger tires on trailer?

    I have Carlisle trailer tires which I need to replace. They're 185/80/13 bias ply. I can get a set of Douglas radial tires, 175/70/13 for about half the cost of what I have now. The weight rating is 1047lbs per tire, which would allow for a max load of 4188lbs. The dry weight of my boat is...

    Making an exhaust boot

    The exhaust bellow is completely separated on my outdrive. As far as I could find, there is no "boot" available for my outdrive (listed in my signature). I'm sure the other two bellows are soon to follow, so, of course, I'll be changing them. I'd like to switch from exhaust bellow to a boot...

    Electric fence

    OK, guys... At the very least, this has to have been embellished, regardless, this is hysterical... Enjoy. If you have ever used an electric fence or know someone who has one you should read this. The language used is a bit salty, but 'he tells it like it is' without cursing . This is...

    Finally done!!! Two more bedrooms to go now. Master and guest bedrooms. I took a week off work to do this. I work slowly, and fairly meticulously. My Father-in-Law calls me Micrometer Man. It took me four days/nights to nail down the flooring. The rest of the time was base moulding...

    Repeated words in new forum

    I've noticed that in several, if not many posts, that the last word of the first line gets repeated as the first word of the second line. The first time or two that I noticed this, I thought it was just a kinda funny oversight on the part of the person posting. After a short time, I started...

    Navigation light question

    Fortunately, the rocker switch for my navigation light is mounted horizontally. For you unfortunate ones who have the switch mounted vertically, how do you remember which way is the left/port turn signal, and which is the right/starboard turn signal?... Up or down??? I know that Chaparral...

    Sae 40

    My 4.3L Yamaha calls for SAE 40 oil. Does anyone know where I can find it in full synthetic? The only SAE 40 oil I've been able to find is Castrol at Advanced Auto. Everywhere else I've tried has SAE 30. Nothing but "dino" oil. The oil in it right now has about twenty hours on it, and it...

    engine fumes in cuddy

    My cabin generally smells like the engine compartment, only more concentrated. I know that it's from the small amounts of water and fluids which accumulate in the bilge under the engine and of course flow back and forth between the engine compartment and the bow. There's a small opening at the...

    A different twist on winterizing?

    I've been thinking about this for a while now... What are your thoughts on leaving the boat in the water with the muffs on. A large debris handling submersible pump flowing 600 gallons per hour through the muffs. The pump would be surrounded by a crab trap to keep large leaves and hydrilla...

    Extra plugs

    I've read a lot of posts about forgetting plugs. Solid brass plugs are so inexpensive, it simply doesn't make sense to me to not have a bunch of them on hand. They cost about six deer at WallyWorld for a two-pack. My motor cover is cushioned and has two cup holders in the front top side. I...

    replacement for wheel fender...

    Almost a week ago, a deer ran into my boat and trailer while I was traveling 55mph. It's a 1992 EZ LOAD"R dual axle trailer. The front port side fender was torn off and destroyed. It's heavy duty ABS, but not heavy duty enough, aparantly:rolleyes:. I was very happy that none of my family...

    Rhino liner in my boat?

    I'm thinking about removing the carpeting in my Chaparral 2050 SLC and having Rhino Liner sprayed on the deck... Any thoughts? Has anyone out there done this? I'm thinking "off white", so it hopefully won't get very hot in the sun. A couple of mats should remedy that just in case. Any...
