    Crunched my prop so I am trying to figure out what to replace it with.

    Did my first full day of boating out on the ocean the other day and make a lot of rookie mistakes including one disaster when I drifted into a jetty and ruined my propeller. I was thinking it might be a good time to try another size prop since my boat was having trouble getting level and would...

    Looking for anchor brackets that secure anchor to the deck on the bow

    Where is the best place to pull a positve wire for accessories like a stereo or GPS

    Is there a good place to hook up stuff under the dash besides the ignition switch? I was told to get a small block that has terminals on it that hooks up to the battery but I would like to avoid running a live wire all through the boat for something like a GPS or fish finder.

    New boat owner looking for help

    Just bought a 21' Sea Ray 6.3 Mid Cabin and we love the boat but when I went for our first ride with the owner who is an older gentlemen who has owned it for 20 years it would barely run above idle and kept stalling. The only way we could get it started was with a shot of ether and if you gave...

    Been looking for a low cost starter boat for next season. Looked at a Renken today with a good trailer for $2500. The owner has a file a inch thick on the boat, some of which was insurance and registration stuff but the majority of the stack was repair bills from over the years and they have...
