What size wire should I use for lights? #-o

Can some give me a link to the "transom ladder" plans? I forget the guys name who made it, but I've got to have one of those, it's the best I've seen for a small boat. [-o<

I've seen the seat bases made from some "white cast metal" at Walmart, and some made form "stainless steel". I'm assuming the SS is the best but, both have the plastic bushing that you push the stem into. I've read that there is a lot of problems with this bushing wearing out quickly. Is this...

Where can I get an "Owners Manual" for my 4.5 hp Mercury? :|

I got a transom mount "Minn Kota 55lb" , the book says I need a 60A breaker. Where can I get one? It also says I need a battery with no less than 105 amp hr rating. The deep cycle batteries I've looked are rated in "cranking amps" and "minutes @ amps". I'm so confused, but I know where to go...

I'm going to put my batteries under the bow seat in my 14' Sea Nymph. Question, should I try to shim them up to level? The boat is not level when it's on the water or the trailer. Will one side of the plates get dry and damage the battery if I don't level it? :roll:

Can I take a file and sharpen the edge of my prop, it has no nicks but is getting pretty dull. Is this a bad idea or should I just replace it? :idea:

"Most users ever online was 114 on Tue Nov 20, 2007 6:33 am". That's the was the second day of deer season here!

Can I charge my battery through the trolling motor receptacle? #-o

I read the installation instructions but they didn't answer my question. Can you shorten the wires between the display and the transducer, is it matched like a thermacouple?

Now, this is a stupid question. I see all of these boats with carpeted 3/4" plywood on the seats. I assume the carpet is glued, wrapped around the backside of the board and stapled. Okay, my seats are full of flotation foam, so how do you attach it to the seats? I want to do mine just like...

Say the drain plug came out while on the water. Can a bilge pump take the water out as fast as it comes in? #-o I mean like in a 12 or 14 foot Jon.

The wife and I where doing a little bank fishing today, I'm waiting for my trolling motor. Snapped some pic's., thought maybe you guys might like to see some. This is Teter Lake in Barbour County, West Virginia. It's a 35 acre lake, electric only. Mainly Rainbow trout, but some...

What should you do to a 2 stroke outboard, before leaving it outdoors for the winter. I see them sitting every where, are these motors ruinned? #-o

Are the keel rollers on your trailer suppose to "roll"? The ones on mine so tight that the boat just slides across them. On a 14' V, how many should be on it? Mine only has two, so I was wondering if someone could draw a good setup for me. Also, are the bunks suppose to support all of the weight...

Does everyone carry oars in their boat, I was thinking about taking mine out. They are awkward and take up so much room. I thought I would just carry an extra battery. Is this a bad idea? Of course I only have one trolling motor, but if you had two that should help.

I'm going to remove the bow "nose piece" (probably not the correct terminology) so, I can pull new wire through the gunwale rails. Someone pulled 12/2 w/ground household wire through them. My question is can I get a larger "nose piece" (one with more surface area)? It would make mounting a TM...

What exactly does a BB consist of and how does it work? I've seen them on trailers but never knew what their purpose was. Every time I've packed a wheel bearing someone would say "Don't put too much grease in there", so I'm stumped. Are they suppose to keep the water out, or add grease? #-o

What should the distance be from the ball hitch to the winch? I think my boat sits back to far on the trailer. The distance on mine is a little more than 4 feet, and the boat hangs over the trailer 2 feet, 1 foot past the bunks. you can hardly see the tail lights and license plate. P.S. There...
