    A must for new boaters

    The most important thing a new boater needs is to learn the rules of the road. I was forced out of the channel on Friday night by a boater that had no clue of where to be in the channel. The best investment any new boater can make is to buy a copy of boater Chapman's Piloting and Seamanship...

    Looking for hardware source.

    I'm looking for a source of solid stainless finishing washers. I don't want the stamped ones as they will cut the vinyl that I'm covering my new helm trim panel with. The ones I'm looking for are flat on the backside and countersunk on the face. The only solid finishing washers I have found so...

    Time for a server upgrade!!!!!!

    To the admin team. It's time for you to upgrade your server as it seems severely overworked. :( I have been getting a lot of database errors and "sorry the server is too busy" lately, as well as very poor performance (i.e. page load times).

    New Steering System

    I have a 1991 Fisher SV-18GT Bass/Walleye boat with a 90 HP Merc OB. When I'm trolling the vibration of the motor spins the steering wheel and turns the boat when I let go of the wheel to set my down riggers/planer boards etc. Will one of the Teleflex No Feed Back units stop this from happening...
