    Spar recommendations for wood shelves on a grill

    I have an old (1970's) Broilermaster Warm Morning grill and I am looking to refinish the wood shelves and handle. They are real Redwood and I have already sanded them down and they are ready to be refinished. I was planning to use Spar on them and I figured this would be the place to come as...

    Paddle Board Recommendations (SUP)

    They wife has decided she wants a paddle board. She is a beginner but is pretty enthused about it. I want to find her a SUP but don't want to pay $500 plus. I don't see why I can't find a decent one for half that. And she is a beginner but, I don't want a board that would be obsolete after...

    Canoe seat advice needed

    I have been pouring over the internet looking for a suitable canoe seat for my Grumman square back canoe. I am around 250 and have a bad back. After about 30 minutes, my back starts screaming without any kind of back support. I always sit in the rear of the canoe and it doesn't have a typical...

    Best place to buy a 5lb Grapnel Anchor

    I have a 17' Grumman Canoe and need an anchor for it. I will mostly be using in slack water, but possibly in a river situation as well. I was thinking a 5lb would be enough. Let me know if you think different. Also, where can I get the best price for one (including shipping)? The best I...

    OK, I have a BatteryMinder 1500 (1500ma) with desulfator. I have a deep cycle trolling motor battery that until now, I just used the BatteryMinder 1500 on between uses. However, I am taking the canoe and trolling motor camping in a couple days and play to use it several days in a row which...

    I am in the process of fabricating my trolling motor battery extension cables. I have a Minn Kota Power Center being delivered next week and want to finish up the extension cable so it is ready to go when the battery power center arrives. The problem is that I don't know what size the positive...

    Simple GPS for lakes and rivers

    I am looking for an app that I can use on my phone to navigate on unfamiliar lakes and rivers in my area. I don't really need depth charts and all that but would be nice. I am more interested in just a map of the lake or river and the ability to plot waypoint and a course and map it and have...

    Out Dammed Stickers, Out!

    I know this is an old thread, but I have an aluminum canoe and the previous owner stuck some of those large Fish decals on it. I love to fish, but I was hoping to clean it up this spring and wanted to remove the stickers. They look pretty stout, much more stout than registration numbers or pin...

    Best way to store an aluminum canoe

    Is there any drawback to storing a canoe upside down in the sun? The spot that I plant to keep my canoe in the summer will get full sun from sun up to about 2pm each day. Is that going to be OK or should I find a different place?

    Hull number???

    I recently purchases a Grumman 17' square stern canoe at an auction. I would like to register it, but I am unsure what the "hull number" is for the canoe. I can find two numbers that I figure could be the hull number. One is on the front cap on the top front of the canoe and one is near the back...

    Trolling motor extension wire gauge??

    I am looking at purchasing a Minn Kota Endura Max 55 Trolling motor for my canoe. I want to place the battery near the bow to even out the load when there is only me in the back. Therefore, I will need to extend the power wires so the total length will be 14 or 15 feet long. From what I...

    Minn Kota Digital Maximizer

    So, I have a question. I understand that the Minn Kota Endura Max is more energy efficient than the Endura C2 line of trolling motors. But, what I am unsure of is how much exactly. From what I understand, the C2 basically uses the same amount of power regardless of what speed it is running at...

    Does anyone know the difference for these two batteries? Which one would be the best for a trolling motor?

    Anchor for a canoe

    I am looking for an anchor for my canoe. It is a 17' Grumman Square back and I want a light weight anchor for it. I plan to use the canoe/anchor in both slack water and flowing water. Nothing like rapids, but flowing rivers and lakes. This is the style of anchor I am looking at but don't...

    Trolling motor for a 17' Canoe

    I just purchased a 1973 Grumman 17' Square back canoe at an auction. Now, I need to find an electric trolling motor for it. The canoe weighs about 85 lbs empty. I plan on about 400-450 lbs between myself and another passenger and the usual gear. I am looking at the Minn Kota Endura C2 40 or...
