Well made it out for the first day of the season and it was great. We have been wanting to get out on the water but life just kept getting in the way. I'm not sure but I may have passed by The Rooster out on the Tickfaw river too. Only problem I seemed to have was while in dead slow areas the...
I bought a sun tracker pontoon with a Mercury 40 HP 4 stroke last summer. The last time I had it on the water was christmas eve. While running every once and awhile it sounded like the prop was cavaiting, this was the first time I had the boat loaded with 8 people. Any way I recenty had the 20...
I was able to go check on our boat that is stored close to the Ticfaw river. I store it outside under a bridge and use the cover the boat was shipped in. I was lucky that the owners of the storage area came every day and checked on their customers property. My boat actualy floated off the...
I don't know about the rest of you but, I'm tried of this weather. Rain, thunder storms. Not ideal for boating. Has been this way for over a week. Time to get back on the water.
What is the best way to set-up for pulling a tube behind a pontoon? Do you need to stay center of the boat or can you tie on to one of the toons eyelet?
Boat a new 21 foot sun tracker party barge. We really like it and enjoy crusing around the riverand lake. One thing that I have notice and unsure of is while running water flows over the transom pod. As stated in another thread these pontoons seem to have a lot of violence going on back there...
So the external vent valve on my boat cracked and fell off the spout. Is it possible for water to get through this spout? It is pretty high on the front port side of the boat. The boat had been running pretty good then just bogged down and I idled back to the dock.

Ok I have been a bad boy nelegting my boat for over a year. The cover was destroyed by a storm and I did not get another one to replace the shreded cover.

Bummer it has been beautiful around here and I have a few days off work. Wanted to take the boat out tomorrow so I went out to check out everything on the boat, haven't been out for two or three months. Tried to start with the muffs on and only the starter is spinning not engaging the engine...
I have a 1994 75 HP 3 cyl Mariner with a broken/worn skagg. I have seen various types of skag guards made of various materials. Some of the products claim they can be used to repair as well as protect the skagg. Does anyone have knowledge of these devices and do they work. My skagg is broke on...
Ok, completely new to boating and the first time out was not successful. I bought a 1995 Mariner 75 (Polar) boat last November and everything worked fine. Today after getting to the launch I rised the the motor to remove the motor/tow brace and then couldn't lower the motor. I noticed fluid...
