    Swing or removable tongue conversion

    Turns out my neighbors aren't too thrilled with the slot I cut in my garage door for the trailer tongue to stick out... actually, I think it's the tongue sticking out they're not happy with.<br /><br />So, does anyone have any good ideas on converting this trailer to a swing or removable...

    Removable / swing tongue

    I have an EZ Loader trailer with my 2002 Rinker Captiva 212 on it, but of course it doesn't fit in the garage. When I asked the EZ Loader rep about adding a removable or swing tongue to this trailer, they say the 4800# is too much weight to do this - but I know there are trailers out there with...

    Winterizing an EFI engine

    Having always had outboards, I'm concerned about winterizing the fuel injected 5.0 Merc in my new boat. I think I'll have it professionally winterized this year, but can anyone help with the pros and cons of fogging the engine? I've read that one should NOT spray fogging oil into the intake...

    Storage in Portland OR needed

    Just by chance, anyone out there have a covered / inside storage space they want to rent for the winter? Boat is 21', but with the trailer, I'd need all of 25' by 9' wide. Respond directly if you'd like - binduni2@attbi.com. I found outside storage, but I'd prefer to cover and protect my new...

    GPS suggestions

    OK, I admit, I'm a gadget guy.... but it sounds so useful to be able to have a moving map of highways, hiking trails and so on. What I really would like to find is a unit that will also have water ways with depths and chart info. Does anyone have any suggestions for a handheld unit? I hear...

    Skeg repair

    Well, I did it - brand new boat and I broke the bottom 1/3 of the skeg off!!! :eek: <br /><br />Does anyone have suggestions for how to fix this, if at all possible? I've seen a "repair kit" in Overton's , but $100 for a chunk of SS seems a bit of whack.<br /><br />Also, I'm use to outboards...

    Oil pressure gauge dance

    The oil pressure gauge in my '02 Rinker 212 is flopping around like a fish out of water! I have maybe 10 hours on it and it's been irratic ever since I brought it home 2 weeks ago. My question is, has anyone experienced this? If so, what was the cure? I have the dealer sending me a new sending...

    Honda towing vehicle - will it do it??

    Is anyone using a Honda Odessey to tow with? I'm curious how much weight you may be towing and how well it does. Looking at using my 2001 Odessey to tow a 20' Wellcraft & trailer, about 3,400# - near the 3,500# capacity!<br /><br />Also curious how it does pulling the thing out of the water & up...

    Wellcraft Eclipse 2000S

    I became entranced by a beautiful 1999 Wellcraft Eclipse 2000S (20') this weekend - can anyone give input on this make and model? I've had boats before, but generally they were very old and much shorter. Looking for things to look out for and known problem areas.<br /><br />Also, I'd be pulling...
