    Bunk Lubrication

    I have a 25 foot cruiser that is about 7K. Its a bit of a PITA to crank on the trailer if things are not perfect. It would be much easier of the bunks were slicker. Any recommendations of covering for the bunks or lubrication?

    Relocate A/C pump to below the water line

    The AC pump and strainer on my boat are both located above the waterline. This is a bit of an issue seeing as the pump is not a self priming and being above the waterline if I forget to close the seacock before pulling the boat on the trailer the pump will lose its prime. I would like to move...

    GMC Sierra 1500, RAM 1500 or who is the best?

    Re: GMC Sierra 1500, RAM 1500 or who is the best? Not true. My 2012 Silverado has a huge sticker on the inside of the drivers door saying it was built in Flint. Also GM does the hold the break until you touch the gas thing.

    Install Hour Meter

    Anyone know how to install an hour meter? I was thinking of hooking it up to the tach since that runs when the motor does but I don't know if I will get the 12V from it that I need to run it. Thoughts?

    Storing alcohol on the boat.

    Does anyone know if I can leave alcohol (rum, jack, bourbon)on the boat. I can't imaging it going bad but I know it can get mighty hot below deck when the boat is not hooked up to shore power sitting in the trailer in the sun. So my question is can this be done or will I some how destroy my...

    Dinghy

    What are the thoughts on having a Dinghy on a small cruiser (25 feet). One side says it is a waste but the other side says it will be worth wile to have one incase I go some place that has a Dinghy only dock and for safety, but then again I will be on the ICW and Chessapeak bay?

    Bottom paint on trailer boat

    Any thoughts on bottom paint on a boat that lives on a trailer when not in the water? During the summer the boat may be in the water for one or two days and perhaps a few times a year for a few days at a time but will be on the trailer when not being used.

    Trailer Jack

    Just thought of this. My boat is 7K dry and the trailer is 1500lbs. So about 9K with fuel etc. How large of a jack would I need to jack this thing up if I get a flat tire? I doubt the jack in my truck will lift it.
