Got out today. Not much fishing was done. Having too much fun cruising. Took a pic of the new boat though.

Has anyone ever used the Akua boat fenders? I just don't believe suction cups could handle this job. Any insight?

Was looking into these for my deck to hold rods in place. Seems like a lot of boats have these on the deck. I just didn't want more things on the deck to trip on. Does anyone else like these bungee strap style holders?

I redid my previous build due to some support framing rot. It's not a huge difference than the old one. I just did some things differently as well as added some things. Not as fancy as some of the builds on here, but it works for me. Previous Build -...

Having trouble finding some small plastic louvered vents for mounting to my plywood deck. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a couple questions for you guys on my build I will be doing this spring. 1. What should I use for sealing wood for my deck? I plan on carpeting as well. The 2 things I can't decide on what to use are Rustoleum spar varnish, or Minwax spar urethane. 2. I plan on using a NOCO Genius GENM2...

I am looking to rebuild my deck this spring and wanted to see what you guys thought. When you install your seat base mount, do you use bolts and washers through the plywood or do you use screws through the plywood and 2x4 support joists below it? I see people doing it both ways. I was planning...

I keep having a problem with this linkage coming apart from turning the throttle. I have looked at the parts diagram and don't see anything missing. The pin just keeps popping out for some reason. I would think there would be some sort of pin that goes underneath to hold it together. What am I...

I recently bought a water pump kit to replace my water pump this spring and was getting all the materials required in the manual that the kit comes with. The manual keeps mentioning to oil certain things like the shift rod bushing and the inside of impeller cup for example. But it doesn't...

I've been running my 25HP Johnson with 3 blade aluminum props for some time now. I have 2 identical props with a 13 pitch. When one gets dinged, I have it repaired while using the other. It doesn't take much to ding an aluminum prop. I was thinking of spending the extra money and getting a...

I'm getting excited for spring, so I built a portable bait well. Equipped with a switch panel that operates the aerator and an underwater light. Also has a drain plug. I will also be building a larger one with a pump out system instead of the drain plug.

It's that time of year when I start looking into new gear for spring. I am looking for a light weight setup for panfish. Vertical jigging, casting small spinners, bobbers. I don't really like ultralight rods as most seem too wimpy for my taste. I have it narrowed down to a 6' Light St. Croix...

The other day I was out I managed to hit a submerged log with my 25hp Johnson. Now, when im wide open, the motor gets louder right at the peak of top speed. It almost sounds like the exhaust gets lifted out of the water a little. So it just might be the exhaust out the prop I'm hearing. The...

Was looking for suggestions for a rod that will be used for panfishing. I already have a Shimano Sonora 1000 for the reel. Need a rod 5-6 ft no more than $100.

Here are some random shots from out on the river. 1-27-12

Was looking into a fishfinder to install for spring. I found this Humminbird unit and was wondering if anyone has used it or has any input. Thanks https://store.humminbird.com/products/307117/365i_Combo

Is it ok to have the pedestal seat mount only bolted through 3/4" Plywood? Or does it have to be somehow mounted to the frame as well?

I have a 25hp Johnson motor on my 1648 Crestliner Mod V. When I start going and crank the throttle all the way back all is good. After I plane out for a bit, the motor backfires and chugs until I let off the throttle just a little for it to stop. But when I make that small 1/2" turn, it does it...

Has anyone used this fishfinder? Looks good for the price. https://www.basspro.com/Eagle-Cuda-350-S/MAP-Compact-Fishfinder/Mapping-GPS/product/10205392/-1651693

Is it a bad idea to store a spare 6-gallon tank of gas in my enclosed storage area?
