    Removable Trailer Guides

    Pretty slick way of adding a could of guides to the trailer that store right in the back of my truck. There are simply a pair of fiberglass rods with a female pipe thread on one side. I drilled through the mounting bracket and fender and attached a piece of pipe thread which is held on the a...

    Hummingbird 997 GPS combo chart question.

    I received this unit on my "new" used boat along with a 597 ciHD. I bought the lakemaster SD card for the HD lake charts, but cannot get them to work in the 997. I have tried both card slots.....but the only thing that happens is it says "loading charts" on the top for a second or two. When I...

    115hp Mercury Optimax Question

    Recently purchased a new to me 2005 Lowe Fishing Machine 175s (17.5ft long w/ 92" beam). On it is mounted a 115hp Mercury Optimax of the same year. Current prop is 19 pitch. I assume I should be at 5600-5700 rpm WOT.... I was finally able to take it out on a larger lake today where I could...

    Boat Cover Help (Lowe FM175s)

    I just purchased a new to me 2005 Lowe FM 175s, and I am having a heck of a time with the Cabelas ratchet tite cover. I am not at all happy with the fit, and I even ordered the cover a foot longer and a few inches wider to account for the trolling motor and other accessories. Not sure if...

    Lowe FM175 towing

    I recently bought a 2005 LOWE FM175s with 115hp Optimax and am storing it at my dad's house as I don't have room here. He might want to take it out when I am unable to go with him, but his tow vehicle is a 96' Jeep Cherokee Country with 4.0L engine. I suggested to him that I thought the boat...

    Meat!

    Since the topic has been brought up........with a lack of pics each time. Not on the grill, but it was like 40 degrees the other night, it was late, and I sometimes prefer the cast iron method for steaks. Screaming hot skillet....4mins each side. Throw some butter on top and stick it in a...

    Outboard C clamps secure for trailering?

    Re: Outboard C clamps secure for trailering? I have always used one of these, and never had an issue. With the 25hp that I have now, it is also bolted through.....BUT previous to that I have never trailered a small motor that wasn't just clamped with one of these locks. Since it slides over...

    Report your NO BS mixed driving mileage!

    Re: Report your NO BS mixed driving mileage! I get pretty much the same with a 5.3L gas. Even pulling this I am only a mile or two different than when you pull your bowrider. 13mpg was with a lead foot. I think I was at 73mph with the AC on. This month on my last two tanks I have averaged...

    Basement Remodel....Pool Table??

    Re: Basement Remodel....Pool Table?? Also forgot that a few months back I added a pub table and chairs in between the two "rooms" The more and more I look at it the more I think that a pool table might just be too much.

    Basement Remodel....Pool Table??

    Last Fall I finished remodeling my basement; turning it into a rec room/bar area. The other day I was at a neighbor's house and were playing pool. I forgot how much fun it was....played it a lot in college (probably should have been in class). So now I am thinking of possibly getting a table...
