    I turn the key but nothing happens.

    Have you measured the voltage on the starter while trying to start it?

    I am not perfect.

    Check the capacity rating of each battery. I have two Interstate batteries from Costco and when they finally go I will be replacing them with another brand. I don't remember the exact numbers but the capacity of the Interstate batteries were a lot lower than the other batteries I've used in the...

    Bilge pump fuse shorted

    I'll go along as the other guys have said since it happened to me. The pump is frozen, either from trash jamming the impeller or just plain seized up due to rust/corrosion. Time for a new pump.

    benefits of side bunks..... are there really any?

    My trailer has side bunks and I like them. As others have said they help center the boat and helps with a crosswind. I'm only a saltwater guy and haven't heard the term power loading. Is it using the motor to drive the boat onto the trailer? if so why is not allowed in places?

    Blowing 20A Fuse

    Have you turned everything on then pull the fuse and see what dies? This has nothing to do with your problem but are you sure your radio fuse is a 15a fuse?

    Too much wind and rain in my face

    Engine hours

    This is what I did. Just set an alarm for an hour or so before you hit the numbers of hours you want so the meter doesn't go past the hours you want.

    F200 Impeller Change

    Years ago I had a Yamaha 175 2 stroke. I always flushed it on muffs with no issues. I replaced the entire water pump, first time ever for me, and after putting everything back together with no extra or missing parts it would not pee on the muffs. I took everything apart again all looked good so...

    Fridge shuts off when not on shore power

    "the second you unplug shore power, the fridge stops working" is the frig on batteries? If so do you have an inverter if it runs on ac? Have you measured the voltage at whatever it plugs into?

    Depth Finders?

    What dingbat said "be careful what maps are included" Don't forget this. I bought my Furno I was amazed as I was able to see the entire world map. Then I realized I had to buy a sd card that had the detailed information of my local area.
