Can any of you recommend a unit with a 6" display? Thanks. Yeah, it's gotta be a Garmin. Have one in an airplane, had one in my other boat, they get the job done.

Have a 208 with cuddy cabin. The factory cushions have covers, with zippers, that can be removed for washing. Man, it stinks in there. Any suggestions of what to wash them with? OK to machine wash cold, then air dry? For the record, the door to the cuddy was latched shut, with the top door...

Problem seems solved for now. I took each caliper off, and sprayed all around the piston with AeroKroil. Then I used a C-Clamp to nudge the pistons back in a little, just to move it. Also lubed the caliper mounting bolts with tacky red high-pressure grease (which doesn't wash away). Had no...

Can you describe this cap or where you got it? Thanks, seems like the most reasonable short-run fix until I can actually replace the brakes during lay-up.

Guys, I am only going a mile and a half at the most, on roads with speed limits of 25 mph. Don't think any boats are going to be flying through any houses at 5 am.

As I have stated in other threads, I am having massive problems with my Tie-Down calipers. Since we are just now coming into trophy striper season in the Chesapeake, I am NOT wasting a good fishing day to replace brakes. I can always do that in the winter during layup. So, for the short run...

Thanks guys. I'm seeing "Kodiak" quite a bit, and that means something to me, that they must be pretty darned good. Keep the info coming, good stuff to know. To the guys in the north who are still fishing for stripers, good luck out there.

Journeyman, what did you spray your brake components with? Something like CRC 6-66? WD-40? Something more potent, like T-9? Thanks. Hot Ajax

Bought new Load Rite trailer in '08. Unfortunately, it came with Tie-Down brand of brake hardware. It seems 3 of my 4 wheels have calipers that are frozen with the "brakes on"..There is fluid in the master cylinder. Pads are worn unevenly, the wheels squeek, and some of the grease that can't...

If you register with the saltwater registry for NJ, you're good for MD as well. Buying the MD fishing license (needed inside the Chesapeake Bay) is a default registry for the federal saltwater registry. However, should your boat find itself crossing over the MD/VA line if you're far south in...

My opinion? Change the oil anyway, then you don't have to worry about. Besides, you can get rid of any metal shavings. Also, you would replace those little red gaskets on the fill and drain plugs. What's a quart of oil cost when you consider your piece of mind? Lower units are costly...

Looking to get a small reel for stripers, red drum, speckled trout in the Chesapeake Bay. Capacity of around 200-250 yds of 12 lb. braid. For use on a 7-foot rod to cast 1/4 - 1 oz lures. I know alot of you readers are chasing the big boys out in the canyons, but if any in-shore guys are...

Yeah, I have the parts, but I don't know how to post pics on this website. Any tips are gladly appreciated. I can upload the pics to my computer, but putting them on this website?? I dunno. All tips greatly accepted..Hot Ajax

I was using a stainless steel ball, rated for 6000 pounds. My boat and trailer weigh about 4800 pounds. This past weekend, I accelerated gently from about 15 miles per hour, the ball sheared right off the shank, leaving my boat and trailer in the dust. At the breaks, it was evident that...

You get them direct, and they have good customer service: http://www.wemausa.com

On a 2 cycle V-6: If you pull the plugs, and the only thing is a LITTLE oily carbon, is it ok just to clean and re-gap them? I use a little Deep Creep or anything else that softens up the carbon and hit them with a wire brush, then a little ether to dry up the oil, and stick them back in. If...

If you buy the OE, it will cost you 3 times as much as Wema. wema x 3.

(Moderator: Can you please leave this post on the general discussion board, where more people are likely to see it than on the Electronics discussion? Thanks) Looking to spend a max of about $750. I have been told that the Blue Water cards really drive the cost of these units up, so if you...

Simple job. It's harder to find a beer bottle opener on a hot day than it is to replace the poppet valve.

Went to get her ready for this summer. Looked at the prop, saw some lube still in the threads from last summer, thought it looked ok. Don't know why, but I went back and took off the prop to make sure everything was OK. It wasn't, the plastic insert that makes up the hub kit was broken. The...
