My small cruiser has two batteries, a shore power charger, and a 1 - 2- ALL - OFF battery switch. Should I used one battery to crank engine and the other as house battery or just us the ALL setting for everything?
I have two new batteries connected to a Perko selector switch for my single outboard Yam 150 engine. I know what OFF and ALL does but does this sound best for using 1 or 2? Each time I use the boat I hope to have it sitting on a rack in a building with switch on OFF. Each time I have the boat...
What would you suggest as the very easiest, hopefully no mix anything, way to fill in/cover up little 1/4" nicks in an old white gel coat. Not concerned about looks, just patching the little nicks.
Not sure if forum rules allow names of companies but do you think getting "agreed value" boat insurance with that ever TV present company with the funny lady is an okay move? I was going with a company that is all about boats but they were late with the quote and had already paid for a year of...
I've read where my old rub rail that is in good shape just dull could be shined up with acetone and lots of elbow grease to remove the oxidation down to the good. Is there some easier product, spray, rub on, wipe off that may do it? Tire treatment? I can buy a can of something but don't have...

If you were visiting a port for the first time, launched your boat and need a test to make sure your VHF is working, what channel would you use to call for a radio check? Manual says do not use 16.
Finding that I have no room to install a water separator on my small boat I have an inline little tube filter I want to install on the fuel line from the tank to the engine. Does it matter which side of the primer bulb it is installed? Before the in or after the out?
Also, if you have...
I am trying to find a simple fuel line connector to my Suzuki DF60. Can anyone confirm will this connector be the same for Evinrude? I see Yamaha is put here with Suzuki for discussion. Is it the same as Suzuki or Evinrude? I was told I have a Suzuki motorcycle engine in my outboard. Much...
