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...

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.

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...

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?

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...

I've got some wood sealant that the guy at my Menard's store suggested. I read about it, and it looks like what I need. I'm just curious if adding a layer of paint would help seal it even more, before carpeting, or do you guys think it would be a waste of time? I just want this wood to last as...

How much space do you suggest to leave around the edge of floors and decks for a nice snug fit, once carpet is wrapped around?

I need to run cable from my 24v trolling motor in the front, all the way to my batteries, in the back I've got 4 ga that will run from the batteries to the circuit breaker and busbar post. 1 - What size is the battery cable on a MinnKota Maxxum? I think it's 8ga 2 - What size cable should I run...

I sold my 1432 jon, in favor of something larger, but I'm already missing having something small, to easily throw in some of the local ponds. The 1432 was great, just needed more room for bigger outings. I found a 1232 w/brand new motorguide trolling motor for $275. -Will there be much...

17" Caught on a wacky rigged 4" green/white senko. Was out at a local private lake, just trying to get anything, since I'd been skunked my first couple times out. I sure hope this is a sign of things to come for this year. 1st fish of the year = Personal Best.

Simple question: Which do you think is most versatile? (big water and small water, bass fishing and cat or walleye fishing) Background to the question below: I'm somewhat new to boat fishing, so everything I do has been an upgrade from how I learned to fish. I started out last spring w/a...

Where do people here order your inline fuses from? Also, what fuses (and holders?) should I be getting for my accessories? I think I have the rest of my order figured out for my wiring, other than that one part. I assume it'd be wise to fuse each accessory (fish finder, lights, bilge, outlets)

I'm looking at 2 different 70s Johnson motors. Both guys were responding to my emails w/the subject line of Johnson motor, and I got confused for a bit about who was talking about which motor. I've straightened myself out, and now, I need to figure out which motor is the best option. I've got a...

What do you guys think of this motor? The guy said he had it out, running last fall. Said he had a friend's dad (have no idea what makes him qualified) take a look at it, and he said it could use a water pump and carb kit. Water pump has been replaced, but nothing done to the carb. The cowling...

I was preparing my list of supplies to order, to wire my boat today, and noticed a huge difference in price, but I'm not sure if I actually need the pricier one. They're both in the trolling motor circuit breaker section. One is 50 amp and one is 60 amp, but do I need 60? I've got a 74lb 24v...

I've done wiring in my house, but I've never wired a boat before, never fixed wiring in a boat before, and never even looked at wiring (done the right way) in a boat before. I need help w/a plan. I've been looking at switches and plugs and bus bars and fuse boxes online, and feel more lost than...

Just curious if any of you have pictures or thoughts of how you built a deck to mount a bow mount trolling motor on a semi-v. I'm building a deck at the height of the benches, but I'm curious how one would build a deck strong enough to handle the torque from an 80 lb thrust trolling motor. I can...

What do you guys do to clean up unfinished aluminum? I'd like to clean up the bottom of my new Lund. It looks like it sat in a lake for a while in its past. What about something like CLR? Then, once it's cleaned up, buffing it? I really have no idea, just thinking out loud. I've got lots of...

Like the title says. Where do you guys pick up new wiring kits for trailers? I'd like to do an LED set w/the front side marker lamps. The whole trailer needs re-wired, so I thought I'd just pick up a whole new kit.

I just picked this baby up yesterday. A friend of a friend happened to be getting rid of it, so I got in on it before it was ever advertised. it's got a cool old 18 hp Johnson Seahorse that supposedly just needs a carb rebuild. It's a 1975 Lund, but other than that I don't know much about it. I...
