    Giant houseboat launch

    2.5 million dollar refurb on a 113 x 21 houseboat. Couple things of note. They used the stern drives that were on there apparently, they were used. The laun h was delayed by 30 or so minutes AT THE RAMP because they needed gear oil. One was low and HAD TO RUN GET SOME. On this big a...

    Spinning reels

    Realizing I've not really fished much since my early 30s. From a kid to then it was pretty much my life but since it has been a worm or dock fishing for crappie or whatever every few years so I am discovering I don't know much and when gathering up all my gear I mostly had crap reels and poles...

    Remote battery charging hook up

    For trolling motor. I've got the motor stuffed up under the bow so not really easy to get to terminals with the charger clips. What if I bought the male plug and just clip the charger to that. Any concern with running the electricity backwards? It's a minkota endura.

    Why not? Our patio furniture has them. Why always vinyl on boats?

    Lead acid battery. Two questions

    My current battery is use for starting and as my trolling motor backup is a 2018 deep cycle, not sure how many CCA but never had an issue and usually kicks in about 15 seconds and it came from my Carver with a 5.7 mercruiser as the starting battery. First question is I've read one should not...

    a story i wrote today

    I am not a writer or story teller, this just happened today. It is set sometime in the semi near future and is based on my reality and my dreams of last night. The People of the Pages Genesis Dad passed a few years ago and Mysti was still floating between Capital Hill and Lopez with...

    Trailer Load musings

    Doing some work on the trailer today and while endlessly turning the 11/16 nut at the stern i was thinking about the front of the boat, oddly. I moved the bow stop about an inch rearward for the trip home a couple years ago and just left it. I only have a 50hp on a max rating of 115hp, about...

    Solar charging batteries

    Any pitfalls I need to know? Planning on one for the main battery and one for the trolling motor bank. I'll use a two pin minkota type male/female connector rather than hard wired. Looking for a panel that can clip on.

    Solar charged battery question

    I've had a small solar panel charging a lifepo battery for a couple years which then powers an LED light. The battery has a built in BMS. The black wire keeps corrosion and I have to cut back a couple feet. Why is this happening? I want to set up a solar panel for my lifepo trolling...

It has a light canvas bag but that won't lat long so thinking I use the leftover MDO plywood from the floor to build a storage box to keep on the box, under some cover but it's a boat so... MDO IS premium ply but also would want to OTF...
