    Used outboards

    I was looking for a used outboard 9.9 hp. People are asking for just shy of new one. A 1990 two stroke Johnson, asking 1,800.00!? I tried to get a price on a new Tohatsu online and they wanted your entire personal history, so they can blow up your phone. Might not be a good time for getting...

    Filling screw holes

    I have some holes that I want to fill, they are above the water line, and I'd like to fill them in because previous owners had many objects attached. I'm wanting to paint the sides, I'm not fond of battle ship gray. Any advice is appreciated.

    Hobbies

    I have had many hobbies over the years and many of those are hard to put down, after many years. Woodworking, electrical of any type, welding also of many types. As I am getting older, physically, I see many things differently. And teaching the basic Trade skills to younger people is another...

    Max hp

    I've heard this from plenty of people. To get the results from your outboard and boat, max the horse power the boat is rated for. Is this really something that I should consider? Or the fact that most of the lakes in my area are limited to 10 hp, is more of a hindrance?

If successful they will continue, and buy whatever they like. If you use a Debit card proof of a wrongful transaction...

    Can anyone recommend a decent camera? The ones that I have looked at usually need an app downloaded for the cell phones. I'm not sure about what is secure for some of these apps.

    Lithium batteries

    How many are using lithium? I recently received a good deal on a reputable company and am giving it some serious thought. I am now in a position of needing a new battery, because one of a pair was broken, the handle came off about knee high. This leaves me with one good battery, about two years...

    Removing a structural bench seat

    I'm thinking about removing the middle bench seat, and putting in rod lockers on both sides. Would this give the same amount of support to the middle of the boat? I may have posted this before.

    Trolling motor additions

    I'm looking at some trolling motor additions. The first one is the Kipawa replacement blade for my Terrova. The second one is a Ninja Grass Blade or something similar. As I look at the Kipawa blade, it appears to sit farther past the motor body . Meaning the hub of prop may be longer than the...

    Insurance

    Do you know what is covered under your home owners policy? I suggest you check. My policy has changed to the point that I have very little coverage. And I have very little respect for mine. I made a claim for my roof, and now I get a new definition of my entire policy. It's time to move on...

    Battery terminal connections

    When connecting multiple terminals, I know they should be stacked large to small. But can you or should you have washers between them? Or one star lock washer on top. I also have been told that wing nuts on battery terminals are not to be used, according to codes.
