Open to anyone that shows up and $6 will get you in for a chance at 1st 2nd and Big Bass places. Looks like there...

    You're 45 mins from the launch and a summertime lightening storm is on top of you (WOW!) do you: 1. keep fishing? 2. Head back to the launch anyway? 3.

    Pivot Grease Needed (Leaking)

    I have grease leaking here so how concerned should I be? Should I just add grease from time time or is this something that needs to be fixed ASAP? Is High Temp wheel bearing grease ok to use for the motor left/right pivot function? 1986 Evinrude 30hp

    uncarpeted bunks

    Why even bother using carpet on the bunk boards under a tinboat? Water sealed 2x4's wide side up should be enough for loading/unloading and trailoring the boat, right??? Anyone do/did it this way before and have problems?

    oil leaking

    It is a 1985 Evinrude 30 hp. I ran it on the hose for about 10 mins and after I was done, about 15 min later, this oil started to come out from where the prop meets the lower unit. How bad is this? Is there a seal between there somewhere that needs replacing? :( Edit: I called a local dealer...

    Redneck Fender Bumper and Bunk Glides

    Total cost so far FREE! I just purchased the boat about a week ago and was figuring a way to prevent hull scratches. My boat sits so low on the trailer that it hits the fenders when loading but it straightens out the boat on the trailer like bunk guides would do. So I looked around the house...

    Flat Chines

    Afew questions: My trailer has only center rollers and 2 bunk boards for support. Looked under the boat to find that the center rollers are causing the center chine to have flat spots. So is it best to just ditch the center rollers and brackets and just use the two bunk boards for support while...

    the gas tank

    What is the proper way to use the vent screw on the gas cap. Do I leave it open to release pressure during storage and close it down when running the motor? Also what in the heck is that bolt for at the top of my picture all about? Is it another vent spot?

    commercial use

    My recent purchase was a 14' jon boat with a tag stating "designed for commercial usage". Any ideas what the manufacturer would do differently for a "commercial" boat? thicker aluminum? wider ribs? more beefy transom? The boat is all welded, has 8 ribs, two floor to transom supports, two bench...
