    spare tire/rim ???

    I bought my boat last spring, and it didn't come w/a spare. I'm trying to figure out what bolt pattern/measurement I need. It's a 5 bolt rim, but I've seen several different 5 bolt rims. What do I need to measure to figure out which rim I need? I'm really excited to get this thing more that 10...

    Favorite senko and favorite utails

    I like the green/cream laminate the most, along with pumpkin and watermelon if I happen to run out of that color. I like the 4", but often use the 5" and just bit off the end when it tears. I've started using Yum Dingers and Wave Tiki Sticks, because I can't afford as many Senkos as I've been...

    No tail lights

    Well, I'll check the grounds again. I was pretty sure I fixed that issue. These lights ground with the bolt to the actual housing to the trailer. Do you suggest I attach a wire to that and use a self-tapper to attach the other end of the wire to the trailer?

    No tail lights

    I'm a little confused. I ran all new lights and wiring, but somehow the blinkers and brake lights work, but the tail lights don't. What would cause this? At first, I thought it could be a fuse, but that doesn't appear to be the case (it happens w/both of my vehicles). Help me.

    Must have accessories???

    Well, we took it out for the maiden voyage, and I'd say some halfway decent rod holders are definitely in order. Who sells some good clamp on ones? Also some good cup holders and a longer dock line. I'm loving my foot controlled Maxxum. I've always had hand controlled ones up to now. I've got a...

    stupid seat mount question.

    They tilt back just slightly. Once I got to looking at it, they would be pretty uncomfortable, if they went the other way.

    stupid seat mount question.

    Nevermind. Apparently, I just needed to look a little closer, at the big arrow that says forward on the base.

    Must have accessories???

    I just finished my 16' Lund semi-v. Now, I'm ready to outfit it. I'm looking for your must have accessories for fishing, or just plain being on the water w/your tin boat. Anyone know of some good clamp on rod holders? I know what I need to have, by law, I'm looking for the things to make life...

    stupid seat mount question.

    I'm mounting my seats to the bases right now, and I just noticed that there is an angle to the part that actually mounts to the seat. So, are the seats supposed to lean slightly back or slightly forward?

    1975 Lund Semi-V (NEW PICS 6/5, more to come)

    Well, it's been a while, but much progress has been made. Sorry for missing some of the in progress pics. Everything just got rolling, and I was in getting things done mode. Here's a pic of the front end 99% done. I just have to screw down the front access hatch (and you can't even see that in...

    Connecting TM questions

    Gonna check out the Attwood plugs. Anyone have any thoughts on the thickness of the wire?

    Painting after sealing?

    That's what I like to hear. Less work than I was planning :D Getting pretty excited that I'm finally to that point, where I need to think about these things.

    Connecting TM questions

    1 - I've got a 24v TM w/2 wires, all the plugs I see for 24v are 3 wire, what do I do w/that 3rd wire? 2 - I just need a decent plug that will be hidden most of the time. It doesn't need to be pretty, just do the job. I need both the boat side and TM side of the plug set up. Can someone give me...
