    My new homemade PVC rod holders

    I think I'll probably put another screw in each holder to keep the holder from "rocking" on the gunnel when a fish is on...a second screw about an inch below the gunnel screw should do the trick.

    My new homemade PVC rod holders

    I have been looking for some good rod holders to mount on my boat, but I didnt really like any of the ones that I saw for sale in the stores. So I got some 4" PVC pipe and made some of my own. Once you get the hole pattern figured out, you can make batches of these pretty quick. I got the idea...

    2 Stroke Motor...not using much oil

    One more question...if I do decide to do away with the pump, what do I need to do to prevent the beeping alarm from warning me that I am not getting any oil from the VRO pump. Its also interesting that the alarm is not currently going off, so maybe I AM getting enough oil from the VRO pump...

    2 Stroke Motor...not using much oil

    I dont think I am ready to abondon the oil injection just yet, but I dont want to damage my motor either....would it be ok to leave the oil injection hooked up AND add some oil mix to my gas? This would allow me to observe how much oil the VRO pump is sending to the motor while at the same time...

    2 Stroke Motor...not using much oil

    Hey guys. I recently bought a boat that has a 1995 50 hp 2 stroke oil injected Evinrude on it...I put a mark on the oil reservoir and I have run about 7 or 8 gallons of gas and the oil level in the reservoir has barely dropped at all. The guy at the marine shop here in town jokingly said that...

    Mounting a bow-mount minn kota maxxum 55 on a Lowe jon

    I have the same problem and have been thinking about how I am going to mount a TM once I rationalize the expenditure :) I have thought about using spacers or standoffs instead of using a board as a riser. I saw these first, but I dont think that they will give me enough lift to get over the...

    Power Tilt/Trim Woes...

    Hey guys...I bought a 1995 Sea Nymph with a 50 HP 2 cycle Evinrude with power tilt/trim a couple of months ago. When I first got the boat, the power tilt/trim worked fine, but on my second trip to the lake, it started having troubles raising the motor. I was hoping that I was just low on fluid...

    my tinboat and fishing days are over!

    I completely agree. I'm glad you guys are safe, but if creating memories is what you set out to do...well, mission accomplished. You guys will be talking about this until the end of days. Now get back on the saddle and start catching some fish with your boy. I used to have a shop teacher in...

    Pedestal Seat Mounting Options

    I am thinking about using toggle bolts like you did, but I have a few questions: 1. I assume that you had to drill holes big enough for the folded toggle bolt to fit into? i.e. the holes have to be bigger than the diamter of the bolt itself. 2. Did you have any issues getting the toggle bolt...

    Can I hook up a single battery to a dual bank charger?

    So, I had to go to BPS yesterday to pick up a battery and charger for my new fishing rig. There was a ProMariner rep there and I told him that I currently only had 1 battery, but that within the next year, i'd like to add a trolling motor and second battery to my setup. He recommended that I go...
