    Adding second battery

    I’m looking to do what commander suggested as well. It’s nice that you can isolate a battery so if you happen to be sitting for awhile with your fish finder on, lights, radio, that when you have that “oh sh*t” moment when your motor doesn’t turn, you can switch to your backup, now knowing your...

    Brakes went out!

    Makes you wonder if a person could panic fast enough to use the e-brake. (Usually mechanical for this reason) this could sink as it usually just works for the rear tires. 😶 you got a smart woman on your hands sir! Does she have any sisters that would like their lives ruined?

    Buying a 2021 Sylvan!!

    Well Monday pickup day is coming up! What are your thoughts on fenders? Anything a little more permanent for dock protection? Do you run them at all? would be nice to have some that go out and stay out, but I did buy a set of 6 EZ fenders just in case as I find it would be optimum to at least...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    this is an untamped sluff and this is a rolled sluff. It’s not an end of the word issue, but a rolled/tamped sluff is ALOT better in means of durability.

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    It’s good practice to make sure your edges are deeper than average, hand tamping the stuff, aka the slope on the edge, helps bold the oil and rocks better and form a better seal. 1/2 of asphalt isn’t enough, as it will spread at the weight of a lawn mower, and eventually bust up. It would...

    Anchor Winch

    You could just bolt up a manual winch, but it will get old fast. electric is kind of the way to go. Hit a button to deploy, hit a button to reel it up. The manual hand crank one I used to use felt cool at first but I eventually just laid the rope on the floor so I wouldn’t have to work up a...

    Electric Anchor Winch on Pontoon Boat

    I had a shallow water power anchor on mine, loved it. it wouldn’t free spool down but it was fast enough for skipping around the lake. I put a small bell in it so when it was up, it would bang on the frame and ring so I knew it was up.

    Re-power options 25' 1996 Brunswick Spectrum Cruise DLX pontoon

    I would think lifting strokes and the 115 would be the best bang for the buck without straining anything. more power is always nice, but in most cases a proper gear ratio rated for a toon and a little less weight I think would be more beneficial. im pretty sure no matter what we say your gonna...

    Buying a ‘toon advice

    Thanks for the input, I’m finding the same thing out as well, which didn’t seem as true a year ago before the ‘Rona. I hate to buy a ghetto beat up 2 stroke with junk interior for 10k plus a trailer, when for 20k plus a trailer you can have the better everything, and a four stroke to boot. I do...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    It’s true both ways. sealing helps keep water from freezing and splitting up the asphalt, though it’s not required. mid I spent the money on the driveway, I wouldn’t hesitate to seal it every 5-10 years, or when time and interest in the project permits, but you won’t lose you ass if you just...

    Ghostery is one that helps prevent sites from tracking you. it’s pretty interesting to see the little text in the corner, some sites are nuts with trackers.

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    I did highway asphalt for 4 years. We averaged about 2-5 miles per day, only did city work if there was a big enough job for it to be worth it. also made asphalt at the hot plant for much of that time. I do prefer the two lift method over everything, as even small imperfections (not always...

    A Bit too far

    I love how the bow almost bumped off the tailgate and he still kept going backwards. 😂 Life would be boring without some people’s kids.

    Buying a ‘toon advice

    Well a little update, nothing went as planned as the covid thing sold pretty much everyone out of boats. they are just now starting to stay on the market long enough for me to notice they’re there. I notice a lot of them don’t come with a trailer, have worn out vinyl, and the one I’m...

    New to Me Sun Tracker 24, A Question About Change Rooms

    I’d be interested in seeing what you can come up with as well. as soon as we get our pontoon that’s first on the to-do list. We usually went out (with our old toon) with all 3 of my daughters, age 1-6) wife and mother-in-law. that many women makes for a painful expirience trying to fish when...

    Buying a ‘toon advice

    We currently own a 76 palm beach, with a 9.9 motor. trailers built in. (Hitch folds upward and axle folds up between the tubes) we call it the SS Swallows because it’s hilariously a floating pile of garbage I bought for $200. now we realized we love boating so much we’d like to get something...
