My steering control box (the unit behind the wheel) is very stiff. Takes a lot to turn the wheel. Tried to pull the unit and cannot get the wheel off. I am afraid of doing damage to helm prying and banging. I am willing to just buy a new wheel and control unit and cut everything apart...

Anyone do anything cool to the boat or tackle while waiting for spring? I am repurposing my striper lures to chase muskie. Changing some hooks to thinner wire and repainting to trout patterns (just brush painting to change colors not fancy or nice) Mostly doing some magic swimmers and stick...

So i initially decked my 16' MirroCraft conversion with marine grade plywood - epoxy sealed and then painted with Overton's Tuff Coat non-skid paint. After about 5 years the upper decks started to rot on me, which was strange because they are completely out of the wet and on an aluminum frame...

My one boat runs a 1993 Yama Jet. I know you are supposed to pump grease in the impeller bearing through the port after each use. How much and is it ok to gently use a grease gun?
