    Gauge issue

    Hi all, I've posted before about my gauge issues but now I know some more of what's going on but don't know where to go from here. All of the gauges have power to them BUT the grounds also have power going through them. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The seast that are in it are very dungy and it looks like mildew or stains on the tops of the seat backs. They are grey and black spots and I really don't...

    Electrical Issues

    I purchased my 1989 24' Grumman pontoon on July 21. The first weekend we had it out it was hard to get it started after we anchored it. We also had issues with the stereo.

    How redneck is this sound and how safe would it be?

    I'm a new pontoon owner (just this past Saturday) and want to get a ladder for my pontoon so we can get back in it easily after swimming. I went to our local Fleet Farm and the only ladder they have is a hook ladder that is supposed to hang over a railing. Well, pontoons don't have railings that...

    Cleaners for pontoon seats

    I am purchasing a used 24' pontoon this weekend and the seats are kind of dirty. Just wondering what the best cleaner would be to get the dirt out. The seats are a vinyl type material.
