I have not used my boat since August. I live in Florida and keep the boat in the garage. In fact a few months ago I pumped in some grease at the fitting on the engine. Today I was in the boat and tried to turn the wheel and it moves a bit but the engine doesn't move. The engine and boat are...
Has anyone been to Hontoon Landing in Deland, Florida? It's on the St John's river. We were thinking of trailering our boat there and staying in one of their cottages and spending a couple of days there. I've never been and hoping someone can give me their opinion of this place.
Thanks,

A friend created an account today here in Iboats but he doesn't like his username. He hasn't posted or replied to anything. Can he delete his account and create a new one?
Thanks,

I am thinking to install smart tabs but no matter where I put them the bunks are in the way. They stick out about a foot behind the transom. I need to cut them in a way so I can wrap the carpet around the bare end and staple it. Not a big deal but I can't do it with the boat on there. It's not...
Hi, Sorry to be asking this in another post but I finally have time to do this and really need some simple instructions. I need to know how to connect my DMM to read DC amps. It has a 10A setting. I found the small wire on the battery which supplies current for the aerator and FF. I tried...
Hello all,
I have a 2008 Key West 1520CC with a 2 stroke Yamaha. I use the boat primarily for fishing. Ever since the boat has been about 6 mos old I have has a problem out on the water with the battery running down to the point where the engine almost didn't start and one time it woudn't. The...

I have a Key West 1520CC with a 70 Yamaha. I've been looking at Nauticus Smart tabs. The problem is that my swim platform is in the way (it's mounted all the way to the left of the transom. There's not enough space under the swim platform, only about 6". Nauticus says I need 10". He...
This is probably a dumb question but here goes. I am considering putting a flush mount VHF radio in my console. What I'm wondering is later on if I want to change radios will this limit me to what kind/size radio I can put in later? I don't want to cut a bigger whole or have to do a patch job to...
Hi. Its been a while.
I have a 2008 Yamaha 70 hp 2 stroke on a KW1520. Last couple times out while running, my battery meter showed from 12.2 to 12.5. My low voltage warning on my Humminbird came on. I called the dealer and he said to bring it in. Anyway I picked it up this week and he said it...
I have a 16 ft Key West CC with a 70 Yamaha. It's really more of a fishing boat. My 12 yo son is interested in being pulled on a tube. Is there a special rig for the back of the boat that keeps the tow rope away from the motor?
Thanks!
I have a 2008 Yamaha 70 2 stroke. My oil tank is 3/4 empty. I have been using non-synthetic oil. Would it cause a problem to switch to synthetic at this point? Or is that a bad idea. Is there a real advantage to using synthetic? I've put about 30 hrs this past year and not used 1 tank yet...
I'm thinking of getting a couple of inflatable vests for my son and I. I'm sorry to say that I hardly wear one because they are hot and uncomfortable. My son doesn't like to wear one either. We fish in the river but I still feel we should wear some type of PFD. Does anyone have any experience...
In the St. Johns River (actually Julington Creek) there's a "Slow - Manatee Zone" sign. It says the same thing on both sides of the sign which I find a bit unusual. Usually the other side of these kinds of signs says "Resume Safe Operation" marking the beginning/end of a zone. So I'm assuming...
