    Adding second battery?

    I've just been reviewing some previous posts about adding auxillary batteries, switches, relays and such. I'm definately interested in putting a house battery on our pontoon so we don't risk running down the starting battery while we're using the stereo and accesories. My question (maybe I...

    My First Pontoon!

    Re: My First Pontoon! Nice scoot RT. As of October we are the proud owners of an '09 Police Edition Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I bought it from the original owner who was a retired officer. He put "Live To Ride" chrome on both sides of the motor and mirrors as well as several other Harley...

    Just bought first pontoon

    Re: Just bought first pontoon I'll see if I can get some pictures on here. Thanks for the response on the mixing issue, I thought 50:1 was probably right but I didn't know if thorough mixing before pouring in was required. Any rhyme or reason to the carpeting for the bunks, just regular...

    Combo GPS

    We have a 1993 Starcraft 191 19' Bowrider we just got last year. I'd like to put a fishfinder/gps unit on it. I'm still learning the ropes as this is our first boat so I'd love some input as to what units have the most bang for the buck. I don't have a lot of space in the cockpit so I thought...

    Transducer?

    I'm about to pick up my first boat, if it passes inspection (1993 19' open bow Starcraft with 4.3 and alpha one). Shopping on Craig's List for skis and tubes and such I see a Lowrance GPS/Fish Finder supposedly about 10 years old that is missing the transducer. Can I buy a transducer and fix...

    To buy or not to buy?

    I'm new to this forum because I'm shopping for my first boat. I've given a guy a deposit on a 1985 Baja Islander 180 with 170HP Mercruiser. The motor is freshly rebuilt, I didn't catch the brand of the trailer but it has been updated also (powder coated, new winch, rollers). Any advise would...
