    Transom Mounting Plate

    I wish to mount a transducer on the transom of my new boat. I like the idea of a transom mounting plate. What is the best way to secure the mounting plate onto the transom? Do you just seal the screws or do you seal the entire surface of the plate?<br /><br />Thanks

    VHF Radio and antenna

    I just purchased a 2004 Seaswirl 17 foot bowrider. I comes with a satellite AM FM CD player. I would like to add a VHF Marine radio. Can the antenna serve both radios? An 8' antenna on this boat would not add to the appearance.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

    Seaswirl 170

    I am considering a 2004 17 foot Seaswirl bowrider with a 90 hp Johnson. Another option is a 115 Hp Johnson. Both are 2 stroke engines. Anyone got an opinion if the additional Hp will make a significant difference, either in speed or fuel comsumption?

    Anchors away

    A few years ago I was fishing with my teenage daughter and we got to just the place I wished to anchor. I instructed my daughter to throw the anchor overboard at exactly the right moment. <br /><br />You guessed it. She (and I) neglected to make sure the anchor line was connected to the...

    Propulsion Problem

    Last night cruising up the river after having lobster at our favorite Lobster dock and the 85 horse Evinrude Outboard (old, I have a post pending to determine age) sounded like there was seaweed on the prop. I checked and the prop was clean. I put the motor down and started forward again and...
