    At Mohegan Sun Casoino with a fantastic view of . . . .

    What looks to be the connecticut river. I can see red and green buoys for navigation but have not seen a boat on it in 2 days. Anyone no what this part of the river and south by Norwich looks like. Is it worth me launching my boat in this vicinity someday and cruising on down towards the...

    Truck scales easy to find . . .

    Since I got my rig in 2007 I always wanted to weigh it on a truck scale, but never got around to it. My Shoreland'r instruction sheet said 5-7% tongue weight. So I added up the weight label on the trailer, outboard and boat plus equipment gas, battery etc. Past year I put a hitch on my...

    Tip: hot days might not need to choke , , , easy to flood

    My daughter called me early Mon that when she reached the lake after trailering her 25 merc 2 stroke turned over but would not start. I said you probably flooded it choking it and trying to start it after the 1 hour ride with a black motor housing and it was 9am and already 85 degrees out. As...

    Yikes . . . This is some scary article!

    What surprised me is I had thought the flesh eating bacteria was picked up from swimming in stagnant type small ponds etc. Here we have an article where this person dies from contracting the bacteria in "salt" water and not only that it can be possibly contracted from eating raw shellfish too...

    Ouch . . . this one hurts to look at . . .

    Puttering around the Plattsburgh NY marina slips on Sat. looking at the boats. This was hard to miss. Doesn't look like it's that big a deal to repair as it appears that it's just the plastic cowling, but it still hurts my eyes to look at that poor outboard's damage. I wonder how it happened...

    Anyone know what this sub is for on this freighter?

    I've cruised on by this freighter on the hudson river in the port of albany a few times. Can't figure out what the sub on the back is for? I figured maybe to fix a prop or something like that . . Maybe for underwater visual inspections . . . A launch that the captain uses to go get a beer...

    Should I attempt changing my impeller myself again?

    2007 Merc 40 hp 4 stroke. I had a Merc shop do it 2 or 3 years ago for $100. I forgot which o/b I attempted myself. We also own a 1998 Merc 25 2 stroke. I remember trying to replace the impeller on one of them myself, I think it was the 25 two stroke but since I had to work on the boat while...

    What ever happened to the old BEER NUTS ???

    I used to love those salty crunchy Beer Nuts, yet all I can find now are these peanuts that call themselves Beer Nuts! Where did my original Beer Nuts go?

    Is there a way to remove mustiness from this item . . .

    I know these items are insignificant but it's getting down to principal now, as I've tried everything already! So I have these two laptop beanbag desks. One was keep T in the house and one was left in the basement. Now of course my wife makes me use the one that was in the basement. I 've...

    Drawbacks of Jet Boats?

    Seems they are moving up from being a glorified jets ski. I have a friend who owns a house on a lake with like 125 frontage and a long aluminum dock going out but his problem is most of the bay he is in is like 1 foot deep. So he is thinking of buying a Jet boat. One that's big like a deck...

    Double catch same lure . . . had to beat them with paddle . . .

    to keep them from jumping into the boat. Well not really, but the Bass were really biting on Nothern Lake George past Sat. We cruised around for most of the day, so I only had time to fish for 40 minutes as I had an out of town guest onboard who was getting bored watching me fish. I couldn't...

    BUG !!!! Anyone know what this little critter is?

    About the 5th one I've found hopping around in my basement past month. As I get close it jumps about 3 feet away. I figured I'd snap this pic for identification just before I squashed him! He's about the size of a dime. I only see one at a time. My basement is a damp one especially after a...

    Crocs . . . for "Real Men" Check these Dock Sider look alikes out . . .

    I posted this on another boating site where we got into a discussion of boating shoes! Thought it would be of interest here too. I actually have really liked Crocs over the past 5 years while boating. Nothing is more comfortable and dries out quicker after I launch or retrieve my rig. I liked...

    I learn something new all the time on iboats: winch, strap and roller . . .

    Another poster had a thread about his boat riding up on his winch post. He mentioned he read that the winch strap should be somewhat level with the bow eye. I looked through some trailer manufacturer sites on winch placement and saw that the poster was correct. Site also said bow eye should...
