    Dead Batteries

    Thanks for your reply I was thinking maybe if one had a bad cell or dead short, that connecting ground wire would transfer an issue. The 2nd switch is just an on/off switch from my house battery to my electronics. Its a seperate wire from the pos terminal to the switch, from the switch to a...

    Dead Batteries

    Hi Guy, I went out fishing Saturday. I steamed out about an hour to my fishing hole, set up for a drift, turned off motor and drifted about 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat a couple times. On my 3rd or 4th drift, motor would not start (battery dead). I have a starting battery and a house battery...

    The instructions for those muffs tell you to drill a 1/8' hole on both sides to allow the wire to pass through

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Gimbal bearing install fail?

    Its upsetting and aggravating. But.... get a new bearing and install it properly. Theyre not too expensive. Consider t a lesson learned. You wont make the same mistake again. If the old one comes out unharmed (doubtful), youll have a spare

    Any Transom experts here. I have a Transom Rebuilding Question.

    I would remove them, drill a fresh hole straight through, glue and drive a hardwood dowel through, flush cut, then seal. This will fill in all voids and not have the chance of hitting a screw head when screwing in any accessory

    Building a tackle drawer unit

    Buying one would be best if you plan on using the same materials as they do. Make a material list and price it out. Starboard 4x8x3/4' sheet is well over $500 last time I looked. Plus stainless drawer slides, etc. If you decide to build it yoursel, common woodworking tools and knowledge are needed

    Building a tackle drawer unit

    I made these doors and frames with PVC sheet goods from the big box store. I also enclosed the gunnels that you see open in the picture with the same material. I went with stainless piano hinges and the same latch that you're showing , but in white. Fairly cheap and clean up well. The only...
