    What's the skinny on car headlight lens polish?

    I just stripped and waxed my bay boat with marine polish and the bottle said works on headlights. I tried it with a buffer. It actually worked. Not new condition but maybe 90% better.

    vibration in a brand new 20 HP Tohatsu

    I would take it to a dealer. Sounds excessive. Did you check the engine oil and lower unit oil? a Lot of motors are shipped without oil to get around Haz-mat regulations.

    Is your Tinboat also your "Lifeboat"?

    No doubt! A lot of people/family cannot understand why or how I spend over a 100 days a year on the water. Just yesterday we were offshore and at sunset we were all saying that this is what it is all about. Beautiful orange sunset, caught my first Tripletail of the season, cooler full of fat...

    lost or stolen bearing buddies?

    I solved mine by taking a cold chisel and putting a couple of burrs on the tapered part of the bb. Seems like spare tires are the hottest items stole around here. Last year I launched in New Orleans and someone took all of my hangers/brackets off my trailer. at least they left my bunk boards...

    how many species have you caught?

    Jeeze!! It would be better for me to list the species on my bucket list to catch, but I've always wanted to list all of the ones I have caught. Freshwater: Bass (largemouth, smallmouth, white, hybid, striped, rock, peacock), Bream (bluegill, sun bream, shellcracker), Catfish (mudcat, tabby...

    Its official

    Congrads!!! I regrettably never got a chance to meet you. Not sure if it's a win or loss for MS. I'm sure MS will never be the same. Capt. Ahab might shine some more light on the subject. The problem is you live to far North. At least 20% of the women have their teeth down here. The percentage...

    Floatation Pods Updated 9-2

    Mine are just bolted. I'm a big guy and I can stand on mine. They made a great swim platform while diving in the springs in Florida.

    Long boat runs

    I've run 96 miles GPS in my 14'. Several years ago, a friend bought a boat in Key West and we drove it to Pass Christian, MS. Don't remember how far but it was fun! It's not uncommon for us to hit over 160 miles on a weekend tuna trip. If we launch in MS, it's another 50 miles each way.

    Name this part...

    It's a circuit breaker. You might want to check your TM manual for proper size first. It looks clean but check every connection. The heat could be caused by bad connection, wrong sized wire, or the motor drawing to many amps.

    What would you do?

    The link Bigkat gave you was my build. I had the same concerns you do when I built mine. The best advice I can give you is to try with what you have. Bolt holes can be easily patched if you don't like them. One mistake I made was not having enough rise on the bottom of the pod. They act like...

    Corky's

    Corky's seem to get more popular the further West you travel along the gulf. They are catching on more around here. I keep a few in my boat but prefer Mirrodines. They do catch fish.

    Vacation fishing, Gulf of Mexico and my gear?

    Your freshwater gear will work fine. Just rince very good with freshwater after each use. Be careful if you surf fish. Don't let the reel get soaked.
