    I replaced my starter - Help me out here with a question

    My starter was toast. After I flooded the boat out, the starter began acting up. It would take many attempts to get the engine to crank over. I decided to remove it and have it rebuilt. So I get all ready and have all the tools I'll need in the boat, slap on my latex gloves (my new best...

    Power Winch Hookup

    Hi all,<br /><br />Finally want to get around to hooking up my electric winch. The plug that used to be on the top is missing. There are no plugs at all actually. I noticed that the 'real' winch plugs at boat/us must be made of gold because they're like $30 each. I'm cheap. What would be...

    Quick Fluke Question

    OK this should be easy. <br /><br />Do Fluke hit at night? I've gotten conflicting reports and so far this year haven't seen much action once the sun goes down, but it might be my imagination. <br /><br />Thanks!

    More fun at the ramp

    This time it wasn't me...<br /><br />Pulled up to the dock after a day of fishing. Tied up and went to get the trailer, and just as I'm walking up the floating dock ramp these guys are backing down with a 22 or so footer on a roller trailer. I didn't think much of it until about 3/4 of the way...

    What might this be? 3.0 coughs once in a blue moon... Fixed I think...

    Boat runs great. This has happened twice now...<br /><br />I'll be humming along at about 3500RPM, and the engine will emit a "cough" or a quiet backfire, miss just a beat, then resume normal operation like nothing ever happened. It loses power for just that split second, then jumps right back...

I use the minivan for the local ramp since it's easier to back my 8'2" wide trailer up my 100 foot walled-in 8'6" driveway...

    Tidal Fun at the Ramp!

    High Tide:<br /><br />High tide is really high, and the ramp gets quite flat where the water comes up. So my brother in law and I are putting the boat back on the trailer after a night of fishing. Get it all hooked up, and come up to the van where he has the door open and has a plank of wood...
