    Skeggard or Skeg Pro

    Has anyone had experience with Skeggard and/or Skeg Pro skeg protectors. Skeggard appears to afford a little more protection by covering the entire skeg. However Skeg Pro appears to provide a practical solution by covering the leading edge for 30 less sheckles.<br /><br />My second concern is...

    Battery Reccomendations

    I anticipate pulling the cover off my boat in the next week or two and begin getting it ready for the upcoming season. At the end of last season, I began noticing longer charging times followed by faster drain time and therefore anticipate that my 24V deep cycle batteries (w/3 seasons) need...

    E Chip

    This has been around for a few years and consists of a small ball bearing inside a ceramic chamber. The concept behind it is to call in fish who feel the vibrations while believing there is a distressed baitfish as an easy meal.<br /><br />I have purchased some tackle with E Chips but never had...

    Another F150 Prop Question

    I posted this question before and received confirming and helpful responses. However, in my search for a new aftermarket prop, I am finding it hard to find a 13 3/4 dia X 17 pitch.<br />I am finding many of the 17 pitch props to be in the 14 or 14 1/4 diameter arena. My question is how much...

    Yamaha F150 Impeller Change

    It will be the third season for my F150 and the manual suggests changing the impeller as routine maintenance. I hear from some that changing the impeller isn't really a big deal and was wondering if this schematic from yamaha is making things more complicated than I can expect. <br />...

    New York City Boat Show vs. Transportation Strike

    I've been going to the New York International Boat Show for the past few years (about a 2hr drive from my home.) However, I am a little hesitant on making the trip this year as per the transportation workers strike.<br /><br />It has usually been crowded whenever I went but tollerable. With...

    Satelite Programming

    I'm trying to educate myself on Sattelite Radio and like the idea of commercial free programing. It will probably be used most in my office to play subtle non offensive music but would like to be able to put it in my car or boat if I wish to do so. It is my understanding there are two major...

    For the past few weeks we have been having a problem keeping light bulbs from burning out. We have replaced burned out bulbs with brand new ones which burned out within a week. It doesn't seem to be consistant with any one light fixture as it seems to be happening in our kitchen, outside wall...

    Dusk to Dawn Light

    I have a freestanding (on a lamp post)dusk to dawn light that stopped working about a year ago. Before petering out completely it worked sporatically off and on for about two or three months. Upon a brief examination it appears the bulb filament is intact. I was at Lowes the other day checking...

    Firearms Reloading

    I have been reloading shells for my rifle and handguns for about 20 years with an old RCBS rock chucker press and am thinking about upgrading to a progressive turret style press. The rock chucker will probably continue to be used for my rifle loads while the hand gun loads are done on the...

    Fishing Pressure...electric trrolling per gas prices

    I got into a discussion with a guy down on the lake last night. It seems to be evident and agreeable the amount of folks coming to fish the lake is down presumably due to the price of gas. On the other hand he indicated the lakes with electric only motor restrictions are getting more fishing...

    I want to get a set of planer boards but don't know too much about them except for the basic mechanics of how it gets your bait away from the boats propwash when trolling.<br /><br />How are these put out and retrieved? I see planer board masts are available but was thinking of rigging these...

    Swimbaits for Stripers.

    I usually pick up a dozen of herring live bait before heading out to do some striper fishing. However, it is becoming terribly expensive ($8.95/ Dozen) and you usually have to purchase twice as much as you need because half of them usually die before making it to the hook.<br /><br />Anyhow, I...

    Deck Mounted Fishing Seat

    I just bought an adjustable (telescoping) fishing seat to mount on the front deck of my boat. I will have to cut a hole (about 1 1/2) in the fiberglass deck for the flush mounting and hope not to compromise the construction in any way. I will also have to screw the base to and through the deck...

    Automotive Dry Gas additive

    Upon reading some of the posts in the boating section I've seen a few posts and replys about fuel water seperators. It is my understanding that Dry Gas additive also removes water and or condensation from the fuel system. I have a fuel water seperator on my Duramax Diesel truck so the fuel...
