    Dripping water ... exhaust bellows?

    After lifting hatch on my 2009 Glastron 5.0 GL I heard a drip. I just had bellows replaced < 20 hours last year. I’m not a mechanic, but leak appears to be above where exhaust hose meets the outdrive. Before pulling tomorrow I figured I’d see if y’all might have suggestions. I’ll try to post...

    Jackknifed Swing Tongue- Help needed!

    First day out with my new (to me) 2009 Glastron GT 205 and my brother in law jackknifed my ez loader trailer. The trailer is a 2009 and has a swing tongue. I called ez loader and to get a replacement tongue it would take 4+ weeks which would kill my boating season. I scoured the internet and...

    Lowrance Chart Plotter Depth 0.0 is a Common Problem

    Just spoke to my buddy at Boaters World and he said that Lowrance transducers are prone to making the unit display a flashing 0.0 depth and not showing or intermittently showing the lake/ocean ground. He runs one of the busiest stores and he claims a dozen a year come in with this exact problem...

    Lowrance Depth reading is Messed Up

    I have a Lowrance chart plotter and the depth will work one minute and the next it will flash with 0.0 or some crazy high number. I constantly have to shut it off and turn it on and usually that fixes it for a few minutes. Even when it flashes, I can often use the lake bottom to determine the...

    Trolling Motor on Center Console with High Bow Rails

    I have a 17.5' Seapro Center Console and I am trying to figure out if I can mount a bow-mount trolling motor. Minnkota sent me the footprint and it looks like I can angle it so it does not cover the anchor compartment, cleat, or bow rail support pole. My problem is that I am not sure I can...

    After getting skunked last weekend at Lake Arthur (just north of Pittsburgh), I decided to hit the Allegheny river. I had a late start as most ramps did not have their loading docks in the water and it was too cold to get wet when launching...Ended up launching in Freeport, PA and fished...

    Trailer Registration

    I have a boat trailer registered and tagged with MD info. I went to get it registered in PA where I live now and dealer said my Venture trailer was missing the capacity sticker and this is required. The trailer is only a couple years old, so I am assuming the sticker was never placed on the...

    Kicker Shift Extender?

    I plan on running a 5 HP Tohatsu kicker with a tiller handle extension. While this will allow me to steer and control the throttle without hanging out the back of the boat, this does not allow me to shift. Is there an extension product that attaches to the shift lever? If not, any good ideas...

    I have an 18' center console bay boat. I plan on fishing on a few HP restricted lakes. I purchased a 5HP kicker motor without an alternator. I am a little concerned that my electronics and lights (after dark) will drain my battery. I could just start my big motor for a bit to charge my...

    I just ordered a 5HP Tohatsu kicker motor and will be mounting it on a Panther adjustable bracket. I am concerned that I will not have access to screw on the bracket nuts behind the transom. My only access is where my fuel line goes into my transom. Behind this part of the transom is a solid...
