    That’s seriously not true.

    NOCO LifeP04 in lawn mower

    Remind me what battery you bought. LiFePO4 batteries have a built in BMS that should protect them but there are a lot of cheap batteries out there that may have less than stellar BMS. If the battery was discharged too far and the BMS didn’t cut it off properly, the cells can get damaged.

    Covid!

    We are born with no natural immunities. Your body develops antibodies when exposed to infections, viruses or vaccinations.

    Covid!

    Which is why I said do what your Dr suggests vs info off the internet.

    Covid!

    Personally, that's a bad idea. Talk to you Dr and do what he suggests. It doesn't prevent...just reduces how hard it hits you. Since you just got it, getting the vaccine now is not necessary. You should wait at least 4 months. I did happen to get the latest vaccine this last August and I should...

    Covid!

    I goy my first Covid in June 2021. Was not that bad. Got the latest variant in June of this year...was VERY bad. Two weeks after I got over it and I did a hike over 10K elevation and I was almost dizzy due to lack of oxygen. Never had that issue before. Spoke to my Dr friend and he informed me...

    my boat won’t sit on the front bottom roller

    Definitely need a picture. Often rollers are just in use while boat is being loaded and when the boat is at a different angle than when the the boat is finally all the way up on the trailer.

    When do you pull your freshwater boat?

    Yep!!! People that think there is all this condensation happening don't understand. There is also this article that explains in terms of how much water air holds https://www.yachtsurvey.com/myth_of_condensation_in_fuel_tanks.htm

    When do you pull your freshwater boat?

    Mercury says as empty as possible with ethanol fuel and you treat what is left. Full if non-ethanol.

    benefits of side bunks..... are there really any?

    My old trailer had side bunks and new trailer doesn't. I don't miss them as I only launch and retrieve once a year in a very protected area. In a cross wind, they are very useful.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    That is very odd. You should not be having problems if the voltage stays above even 13.0V. What did you have it set to? What happens when you have a low battery and the alternator is cranking out the amps at idle?

    Surge Trailer brakes

    Pull the drums and look to see what is going on inside. These are drum brakes right?

    Pontoon trailer setup

    Doesn't seem like your trailer is designed for hook end springs. What does Karavan say when you show them these pictures? I may have said this before...I would get eye end springs and use shackles on the opposite ends from the equilizer. That of course assumes your hanger is in the correct...

    Dust Cap Woes

    Use a punch to get them out...don't use old races to install new ones. I use the tool in my previous post to install. Using the old races is a rookie move and you may actually shatter the old race by striking it with a hammer.

    Dust Cap Woes

    I put my races in the freezer before I install. They go in easily...no press needed. I do use a race setting tool though. Something like this...

    Sacrificial Aluminum Prop

    Depends if you started to get into the "yield" portion of the aluminum. Aluminum props can actually crack like you suggest and there are many cases of props losing blades because of it. You won't see it on a 90HP outboard like my pontoon has but you might see it on a 300HP outboard. It's one of...
