    I think one of them is out of sync?

    Found this on the web. I know it is probably photo shop or something. The site said it was a Tow boat. I bet it's a bear to Sync. By the way, how do I get the picture in the post itself? I see some of the pics are larger and easier to see.

    Transducer Rooster Tail

    Re: Transducer Rooster Tail This is a picture of the transducer my father installed. It creates a rooster tail that I do not want on my boat. If I understood the post, it is caused because his transducer goes below the hull?

    Coast Guard Load Sign?

    I am not sure what it is called, but near the controls of every boat I have seen is a sign tells you what the person and load limit is for the boat. My boat does not have one. Am I required to have this? Where do I get one from?

    I have now been a boat owner for almost 3 weeks. And being a used boat it needs a little work, and I am really concerned about keeping it in great shape. On the first night I left the boat in the front yard near an oak tree. The next morning I was out there picking up the leaves. My wife...
