    Installed new DIY trailer bunks . . .

    Weather finally broke enough to finish what I started at the end of last season when my right side split in half from water rot after only a few years. I had already replaced both from Shoreland'r after only a few seasons after I bought the trailer. They sent me both at no charge. Then only a...

    Finally upgraded my tow vehicle . . . check out this aluminum "ball mount"u

    Well, after 7 seasons of towing my 1600 lb rig with my Saab 9-5 4 cyl which just hit 189,000 miles I threw in the towel and sprung for a 3 year old "certified used" 2012 Toyota Highlander with 33k on it from a local dealer for $27,750. Certified used means they do a 160 point check list and then...

One negative I see with many models is you have to send unit in for an expensive battery replacement, but they say 5-6 years before the battery needs...

    Boat bought new in 2007. Only fresh water use. 3 years later had to call Shoreland'r saying one of my bunks snapped. He sent me two more for free. That was on 9/15/2010.

    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...
