    What is that STRANGE RATTLE???

    2006 Stingray 20' with the Merc 4.3 carb, 190hp engine. At top speed, there is a subtle rattle coming from the engine compartment. At first I thought something was loose and either banging around in there or even banging on the hull, because that's what it sounded like, a random 'banging around'...

    How often do you grease your trailer?

    My trailer is exactly 2 years old, has about 500 miles on it, and has been on a launching ramp about 10 times. So far I have not serviced the trailer. How long should one go between adding grease?

    New Jersey: F Cove, Treasure Island info...

    I'm looking for information about F Cove, Treasure Island (Osborn Island), or any other similar destination near the Manasquan Inlet. I know the locations of these two spots, have them locked into the GPS, and I'm looking forward to checking them out... but whatever additional local knowledge...

    Boating Along The Jersey Shore...

    I just moved to the Jersey Shore. My boat is being kept on the Shark River Inlet. I'm looking for information about local cruise destinations. New York is on the list. I'd also like to check out points South. I'm not a fisherman... what I like to do is find sheltered water, beach the boat...

    How essential is a level trailer?

    I tow a 3000 pound boat on a tandem trailer, and have a Class III hitch. My ball mount has a 2" drop. It's about an inch low. In other words, the trailer would be perfectly level if my ball mount had a 1" drop. That's an easy $20 fix but does an inch plus or minus make a difference?
