    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    I drove semi’s for a few years, then cube vans, and full sized custom vans for years. So it’s all mirrors for me. As long as I can see the edge of the trailer, preferably the driver side, I’m good. A new truck with a back up camera will probably wreck my brain.

    Glad that truck works for you. I'm looking for a mid-sized truck, Tacoma, Colorado, Frontier, Ridgeline. ? ?

    18ft Boat Launch with RWD Suburban

    Interesting. Yes, electrics are a bit different, but once she learns to keep her foot off the pedal until she needs to stop, all will be good. After 30 years of "covering" the brakes as a safe driving technique, it did take a while to unlearn this when towing a trailer with electrics.

    How to wire in a fishfinder

    I don't know, but think much of the interference from years ago, may have been picked up through the transducer cable. Inadequately shielded cables routed too close to other cables or mechanisms. I do remember back in the late '80's, my uncle couldn't run his transducer cable thru his engine...

    Need help identifying this boat.

    I doubt this is a Starcraft. Bow cap is not correct. Transom corner caps were not welded on, on Starcraft. Also, corner caps would have had a large "star" cast in the top. And transom handles we cast in the transom caps. And the seats look a bit off. Sure, not all models were the same, but...

    OK, my rule of 75. If the water isn't 75* or warmer, I ain't going in past my ankles. My boat-rated clothing, long sleeve uv shirt and swim trunks are my base layer. They rarely see the sun or water. They are covered with a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a pair of jeans, and buried beneath a set of...

    Rant: Can't catch a break with weekend weather...

    Well, we made it out on Easter weekend, in Green Bay, high temps or 43, 47, and 50*F, and lows of 32* each night. Made for some cold fishing, but the walleye bite was on. "technically at/past the rule of 120" What does that mean ??? And what is " boat-rated clothing "? Headed north to...

    35hp choke linkage hookup?

    Correct. I just checked my 35 hp, and that is where it connects. From what I can tell, this spring just holds the choke open when it is not in use. There is very little tension on it.
