    Damn, had to replace my bunks for yet a third time in 7 seasons!

    Apple does iphone battery recall . . . .

    I bet my wife's is one of the serial numbers affected. I've always had up to 12 hours before in plug it in over night. We bought our iphones a few months apart. She is constantly plugging hers in during the day in her car or office as hers always drained down a lot faster than mine does...

    It's gonna rain . . . Isolated vs scattered and viewing radar on your smartphone tip

    Many ponder this question when there is rain in the forecast. Everyone should decide on their own risk level of outdoor fun. From my many years of boating as example when the forcast predicts a 30% chance of rain. Well to me, thats a 70% chance that it wont rain where I am. I have an bimini...

    MK quick release battery connectors . . .

    Now that I rent a garage to store my boat where there is no power, so my onboard charger is useless. And worse yet, I have to pull the bigger group 27 troller battery after each trip and lug it down into my basement to re-charge it. I thought to myself there must be a better way, but at least I...

    We will be spending 3 days over July 4th in Colchester VT. I know there is a free launch 25 min south at the lower end of Shelburne Bay. But in my rig it's a long way by water back to Burton Island. But I'd like to also do some fishing around Burton Island and show some friends the Island. But...

    Luv the new auto scroll from bottom! Where do U Hail from?

    Did find it annoying to have to manually scroll all the way back up when I got to the end of a page and wanted to continue to the next page. Never saw this auto scrolling up to the top of the page feature on another site :cool: makes for unbroken thread reading. On another note, thought I...

    Rut Row . . . 1/4 cup water in lower unit?

    Did a routine maintenance today. Changed the 3 plugs, oil filter and oil. Pulled the screw plug on the lower unit to change the gear oil and 1/4 cup of water came out before the old gear oil started flowing out. Is this going to be serious? I was planing on taking it to Lake Champlain over...

    This one is sure to chase posters away from the site. Its been doing it since day one of your update. Some of us realize that if you hit post and this error comes up if you ignore it and hit refresh the post is actually there. But for many they won't know this. Tip: always "copy" or "select...

    Outboard up or down when using bow troller?

    I noticed if I have my lower unit out of the water when the troller is running the boat swings too easy from side to side with the slightest breeze. When the lower unit is in the water its a lot more stable. But when I'm also dragging the lower unit through the water I'm sure its wasting the...

    Had to spring for yet a third Walmart Everstart battery!

    Bought two Everstart group 27 last month to swap out with my new ipilot. Launched the boat today and the starter battery would not turn it over. I could have started it up with the troller but after 7 seasons I thought it was time to see if I could turn a 40 hp outboard by a rope start. Started...

    Ok . . . Stop calling my boat a "tinny"

    Whenever I see a poster calling an "aluminum" boat . . . a tinny, it always rubs me the wrong way :mad-new: I know its always from the same Folk who still use words like: They don't wear Jeans, they wear "Dungarees" They keep their beer in an "ice box" not a refrigerator (probably still have...
