    Double catch same lure . . . had to beat them with paddle . . .

    to keep them from jumping into the boat. Well not really, but the Bass were really biting on Nothern Lake George past Sat. We cruised around for most of the day, so I only had time to fish for 40 minutes as I had an out of town guest onboard who was getting bored watching me fish. I couldn't...

    BUG !!!! Anyone know what this little critter is?

    About the 5th one I've found hopping around in my basement past month. As I get close it jumps about 3 feet away. I figured I'd snap this pic for identification just before I squashed him! He's about the size of a dime. I only see one at a time. My basement is a damp one especially after a...

    Crocs . . . for "Real Men" Check these Dock Sider look alikes out . . .

    I posted this on another boating site where we got into a discussion of boating shoes! Thought it would be of interest here too. I actually have really liked Crocs over the past 5 years while boating. Nothing is more comfortable and dries out quicker after I launch or retrieve my rig. I liked...

    I learn something new all the time on iboats: winch, strap and roller . . .

    Another poster had a thread about his boat riding up on his winch post. He mentioned he read that the winch strap should be somewhat level with the bow eye. I looked through some trailer manufacturer sites on winch placement and saw that the poster was correct. Site also said bow eye should...

    Size "does not" matter . . . This guy's afraid to show his face!

    I like the little red sail icon that shows up for me now . . . .

    This is new to me when I save a thread to my desktop. Don't know if it's new for PC users. I mostly use an iPad and the red sail icon just started showing up. Makes it a lot easier to locate threads now :)

    Tip: Protect your prop, lower end or outdrive . . .

    Read a recent thread where a car tried to squeeze behind a boat and trailer while poster was backing up and the car hit his O/B or outdrive! No question drivers out there drive like A-holes! We need to protect our motors when trailering because since most of our outboards and outdrives are...

    Wow, all these years and I've always used regular gas . . .

    Never noticed this before. I always thought Mercs used just regular which is around 87 octane. This link below from Merc says we need at least 91 octane (Verados need 95 premium) I've always had to use the middle grade in my two Saab autos, but always figured my 3 Merc outboards only needed...

    Hudson River and the "Battered Bull" Mega Yacht . . .

    This past Fri. while boating around we were once again able to pull up close to this mega ship as it was anchored off the town of Cold Springs near West Point. I snapped a pic as we have encounted this amazing ship several times over the past seasons cruising along the hudson river. One does...

    Best oil 4 40 hp merc 4 stroke?

    Not to start the old oil debate but . . . For the purist's out here (which I am one) I have only used the Merc blend in in the Quick Silver gallon jug. I figured I'd give my O/B a mid season treat last week and changed the oil. I only had a little left of the Merc blend so I used a jug of...

    What say you? Planing or creeping when you're almost out of gas?

    Situation arose yesterday on way back to dock. Started trip with a full 6.5 gallon tank but it ran dry with about 5 miles left to go. Never had that happen on this run I've made back and forth many times over the years. I think it happened because it was 96 degrees out and I was cruising...

    Anyone know of a secure locking hitch pin at a decent price???

    Had another brand for the past 4 years that I had to saw off due to the salt corroding it. Forgot the brand, but the lock part always snapped on securely and never had an issue with it falling off when I switched the drawbar out to mount my bike rack. But I bought a Master Lock model #...

    MK Endura 36 intermittent hesitations . . .

    I think I've isolated this issue to the 5th speed so I took the head cover off and it was nice to see the 6 connections not soldered as they used spade connections which makes it easy to replace the 5 speed forward reverse switch. I just ordered one off the web for $15.95 plus $3.95 for USPS...

    Using a trickle charger in boat?

    This season started off with some great boating days so far . . . But since it's still cold and the boating days can be a month apart I noticed my Daughter has been using a trickle charger on her boat in our garage. This tends to make me nervous as there is only like 2 feet between the battery...

    Best grease for drawbar (ball)?

    I used to like leaving the drawbar and ball on my car all the time which protected my bumper from the jerks while parking that back up without looking until they bounce of your bumper! That ball and drawbar does a sweet job on their plastic bumpers when they do this parking method and protects...

    Gobee remote controlled stanchion bow light, very cool!

    just bought and received this removable "wireless" remote controlled bow light. So far, very sweet. Some previous reviews I've read said you have to rewire it for 3 prong sockets. Seems now you just flip a built in switch for 2 prong sockets. I plugged it into the bow socket and it works...
