    Need a GOOD pontoon Cover.. Wind and Rain proof.

    Re: Need a GOOD pontoon Cover.. Wind and Rain proof. You don't have a location listed so I don't know where you are but up here in Minnesota there are quite a few places that will make you a custom cover. We had this one made over the winter. Cost us $750.

    A slip question

    Re: A slip question I have a trolling motor on the front of my toon. I also have a steel pipe right in the center of my asigned slip. Most of the time it's not a problem but we do get a bit of wind once in a while. I have come in a little hot and bumped the front of the pontoon on the pipe. not...

    Trolling motor size for 18' Toon

    Re: Trolling motor size for 18' Toon I have a 55# 12 volt on my 20 footer and it does everything I need it to do. However, I'm on a small (500 acre) lake and I use it to troll along weed beds and to position the pontoon so my wife can fish her favorite spot from her favorite chair:) I'm pretty...

    Fuel/water separator

    Re: Fuel/water separator I agree with Rick. I talked to quite a few people who should know and looked at a few new pontoons before I mounted mine. The consensus seemed to be if it wasn't in an inclosed space it would be fine. Here's mine.

    Show me your livewell on your 'Toon

    Re: Show me your livewell on your 'Toon My pontoon is a fishing pontoon. It came with fishing chairs front and back, a livewell, and a fish finder. Mine is under the seat in the center of the pontoon. It has an overflow tube and I just run it for five minutes every half hour or so and it works...

    Fish OR Cruise Model??

    Re: Fish OR Cruise Model?? We fish. My wife would fish morning and night if I'd take her. We go out at least once a day. So we have a fishing pontoon. Fishing seats on all four corners. Trying to fish over a bench seat is a waste of time as far as I'm concerned. If 80% of the time you cruise...

    Where to store fishing poles on a Toon...

    Re: Where to store fishing poles on a Toon... I got tired of the rods on the floor and built a rod holder for six rods that's at the end of my bench seat. I put a bumper to stop the gate from hitting the rods when it's opened. Works good and they are pretty much out of the way.

    Installing a oil/water separator questions

    Re: Installing a oil/water separator questions I have mine mounted above my fuel tank and quite a way above my motor and mine works fine. I talked to someone who should know before I mounted mine. He did say to make sure the bulb was mounted in line below the motor with the arrow on the bulb...

    Trolling motor

    Re: Trolling motor I have a 54" shaft on mine. I don't think I'd want it any shorter. In this pic I've got the motor (blade) just deep enough to get a good bite and the water is nice and calm. If we had a little chop I'd probably want it another 6" deeper. Also we have a fishing pontoon not a...

    trolling motor size

    Re: trolling motor size I have a 55# MotorGuide 12 volt on my 20' Starcraft. It works fine to reposition the boat or to troll the shoreline or weed beds when the weather is calm. It moves the boat along pretty good. It might even get me home in an emergency. I'm on a 500 acre lake. But in...

    Pulled her out for some work ? on pumps for live well.

    Re: Puller her out for some work ? on pumps for live well. Re: Puller her out for some work ? on pumps for live well. I have a Johnson cartridge pump on my pontoon. Yes, the case stays on the boat and just the cartridge is replaced. A small leaver is pulled out and the cartridge is turned...

    annoying chevy ad

    Well, I see they took the close button off the chevy ad. Used to be able to get rid of it but now it just follows you from screen to screen. I find it incredibly annoying and will just move on. I learned a lot and injoyed my time here. I also hope, in some small way, I contributed. Mike Cummings

    Pontoon End Guards?????

    Re: Pontoon End Guards????? Looked at mine and it can't happen. I don't have an open deck on the front of mine and you can barely see the tubes sticking out from under the deck. However, my kids bought a toon this spring and they have little kids 6 & 7. Below is a pic of their toon. I sent her...

    Should I put a water separator filter on my pontoon?

    I've been following a thread on the Merc outboard forum. About water separator filters and if you really need one. I have a 2001 75hp Merc 2 stroke on my pontoon and I'm sure there's a filter on the motor but I don't have the seperate canister type water separator filter. I bought the pontoon...

    Broke my livewell pump.

    Took my pontoon out for the year yesterday. My livewell pump was hanging off the back so I stuck it up out of the way and took the boat in to be wrapped up and put away. I'll put one on in the spring. What I forgot to check was how big a pump to buy. The boats up north and I'm not. I've...

    Black Diamond 3 Blade PONTOON boat propellers

    The prop on my pontoon is getting a little ragged on the edges. Thought I might get a new one this fall and put it on before it goes into storage and save the old one for a backup. The pitch on my prop seems to be correct for my boat so I will probably get the same. Found this while surfing for...

    Max RPM's at WOT for my 2001 75hp Merc 2 stroke

    Just picked up an older pontoon boat (20') with a 2001 75hp 3 cyl 2 stroke. Got it out on the lake Friday and she'll run 21-22mph (GPS) at 5200 rpm's. I thought the RPM's sounded a little low so checked the web. The only spec's I could find said the rpm range for my motor at WOT was "min...

    75hp Merc 2 stroke on my 20'.. Good match?

    I'm picking up my first pontoon boat tomorrow. A 20 foot Starcraft with a 2001 75hp Mercury two stroke. Is that a good motor for 20ft'er? Wife and I are retired and most of the time it will be just us but once in a while we'll have the kids and grandkids. Don't expect to be pulling any water...

    2001 75hp merc 2 stroke

    Picking up a pontoon tomorrow. It has a 2001 75hp mercury on it. Looks like new on the showroom floor. Dealer says it's been check over and runs great:). Anyone running this motor? Talked to a guy at the lake who has an 04 that he bought new. Has it on a fishing boat and hasn't had any...
