I much prefer guide poles to side bunks, and I consider them indispensable. PVC alone is not strong enough, and any kit you buy will have a galvanized pole that clamps to the trailer frame. The PVC slides over that, gives you extra height and visibility, and protects your boat. Start with...

Congratulations on the ride,and the purchase. If you add your location to your profile, we will know where all this fun is taking place.

I see one thing that I would not copy, right off the bat. Looks like they put the two reels together on each tier, making the rack stick out further than if you put one reel at each end.

Rainx is a brand name, with a bunch of products under it. Which one do you actually use, Glass Cleaner, Glass Treatment, etc?

Pop a pie plate out, stick a camera with flash down there, and just start shooting. On my boat, the tank is in the midsection, and you can run a hose over the rear bulkhead without drilling any holes. It's not like they are watertight compartments. When I asked about the coring under my two...

I keep thinking that I will do the same, install a mid bilge pump on my '93 Tournament 22. Factory original is the dumbest thing I could imagine, as every drop that makes it to the aft pump has to go through a 3/4 inch hole to get to the boxed in pump. I leave it with the trailer as high as the...

How much liability and personal injury coverage are you guys getting for that money, along with replacement value?

I know that you want a long shaft, to keep the prop in the water when the boat rocks, but that one looks extreme, like an extended sailmaster. What is that shaft length?

Years ago, Good windlasses were rode only, no chain gypsy. They definitely have chain models now, but make sure that you get the model that you want, especially if buying used.

Power down falls in a straight line, with the anchor always at the bottom. In free fall, the chain often falls faster than the anchor, because the flat surface areas of the anchor cause it to sail, particularly with light weight anchors, like Fortress. This can cause fouled anchors, and poor...

I have heard that mixing different oils, particularly petroleum and synthetics, can sometimes cause the mix to gel and block up the system. But isn't that what a 'synthetic blend' is anyway?

Looks like a bunch of stainless 90* on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... acat=26443

Good info, Seasick. Most of us would probably refer to the big reservoir as the 'main tank'. When it goes into limp mode, shouldn't the pump fill the main tank? And when/if it does, does the motor resume normal operation, or is there a reset process?

"Why not transfer some weight forward, i.e. move the batteries." Because most boats are designed to drain the decks to the stern. The Yam 200 lower unit on my Tournament 22 was barely touching the water, so I had the bright idea to leave a big cooler half full of water in the bow, which just...

If you can pull it down the highway, and not worry about bridge clearance, you can fit in in 13.5.

Sounds like a 20 inch shaft. 20 has an L in the model number, and 25 has an X.

Please tell me that link doesn't say $14K for a hardtop with frame, PLUS another $16K to match the gelcoat underneath, PLUS $6K or $7K for a set of curtains.

Sounds like your vent may have gotten plugged. If it happens again, loosen the fuel fill, and see if you hear air rush in, and if the problem is solved.

If there is a zipper, or a Velcro opening, the best way is to remove the padding, turn it inside out, and restitch all the seams with a UV resistant thread.

I replaced all of mine a few years ago, and made a tool that made it a lot easier. There were several that you could get a wrench on the large nut behind to hold it, but no room to turn the wrench. My invention was to take an old socket that fits snugly inside the thru hull, and cut a notch on...
