    trailer paint protection from gravel

    Any ideas on this? I have a full width gravel protection skirt on my truck hitch as well as Cloud Rider mud flaps on all 4 wheel openings. Still get the trailer fenders and frame blasted with gravel. Short of avoiding gravel - any paints better than others? Coverings? Trailer protectors...

    Fuel tank venting

    My pontoon boat has the fuel tank in the left rear (roadside for a car) and the filler is located with an opening that is at 90 degrees to the water. A pain to fill whether on the trailer or at a marina but also poorly vented. I thought of just putting a tee in the fuel filler line but am not...

    Pontoon trailer bunk material

    My trailer bunk indoor/outdoor carpet covering is showing wood beneath and is due for replacement. What about HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene), puckboard as a replacement. Seems slippery enough and tough. Any thoughts?

    Floodwater fishing

    Our water levels are way up this year in Central-North parts of Saskatchewan. It appears the fish are down 3 times as deep or more than usual. Any tips for fishing in such high water (Green Lake 54 degrees North and 108 degrees West is 4 feet higher than normal).

    Trailer alignment?

    Oil Filter 2011 Merc 90 4 stroke

    I had a filter picked up for me at a Merc dealer. He gave my friend 35-8m0065104. I have been using the larger 35-877761k01. Are these interchangeable for my year engine? I prefer the larger for more filter area??

    A piece of wood

    I am sure you all know this. I did but forgot. A few weeks ago we did a 50 mile trip on a river with 40 feet showing consistently. Not paying attention, we entered the lake and I hit a rocky area and damaged my prop on my 90 horse Merc. Pretty hard to get the nut off even with the correct...

    Oil Weight

    I bought some Castrol GTX 10-30 for my 90 refi 4 stroke 2011 Merc as it is off warranty now and I thought I'd save a buck. Caution set in and I went to the dealer and bought 25-40 Mercury oil. I did my annual oil change yesterday and inside the engine cover the temperature range showed +10 to...

    Too good to be true

    I wanted an extra prop for my 90 horse Merc refi 4 stroke. Online I found a new prop for substantially less than another dealer quoted me. I had it picked up and when I opened the box - surprise - NO HUB. I watched some YouTube stuff but am still concerned about a change over if I am on the...
