    LED's in an RV?

I haven't looked at the newer ones that came out (mostly because of cost) but I have been thinking of getting a few LED tractor lights to mount on the outside. Maybe...

    Trim, Tilt, I'm confused. How do I stop my boat from...

    Re: Trim, Tilt, I'm confused. How do I stop my boat from... Looks like your pin spent some time in the 2nd hole, I'd try it there. And I was thinking the same as TDuff.. looks like a long shaft on a short transom.

    hydraulic steering fill

    I'm installing a motor on a RIB for a guy and it has hydraulic steering. The hoses were off the cylinder... so what's the proper method to refill and bleed the air out on these? There's no hydraulic pump on this one. Just the helm, 2 hoses and the cylinder.

    Question before I buy an inflatable???

    I already have a 15hp evinrude with a pretty much rock proofed lower, so I was thinking 11' or 12' boat. I can upgrade to a 25hp if I have to but I really like the light weight and low fuel consumption of the 15. I'm looking at buying a used inflatable but I see different bottoms. Plywood...
