    Thru-hull fittings

    Can anyone please tell me why these are not recommended for below waterline use? My boat is used in fresh water and is not slipped. I am re-doing all my thru-hull fittings and the Garboard drain plug. I see there are stainless drain plugs but every type of stainless thru-hull fitting I see be it...

    New stereo install

    Re: New stereo install So the red wire coming into the picture from the right is the main power from the battery. The little red wire coming off the switch(blue female disconnect) is the main power going to the radio. The yellow wire is "hot" all the time. I mounted the switch under the dash to...

    how far off bunks

    Re: how far off bunks I read a lot of people talking about bunks vs rollers and I/O vs OB, but... Nobody ever mentioned HULLS! I would think that not only hull material(alum. vs Fiberglass vs wood) would have to come into play but hull shape as well. Now I do not claim to have the answers but...

    Motorguide brute 756 trolling motor

    Re: Motorguide brute 756 trolling motor Actually I take it back about the speed switch not being replaceable. It looks like you can replace it, but good luck finding just the switch. I my self would just find a used set up for sale somewhere.

    Motorguide brute 756 trolling motor

    Re: Motorguide brute 756 trolling motor I'm guessing that this is your set up. I have the exact same one only it's 45 lb thrust. You most likely will need to replace the pedal or possibly just the speed dial on the pedal.

    got a cracked ski locker lid??

    This is a repair I did to my ski locker lid about 5 years ago, and it has worked out great. So I thought I would share because I'm sure I am not the only person who had/is having this problem. It's a pretty simple/self explanatory fix once you look at the pics. The only recommendations I have...

    ski storage lid

    Re: ski storage lid I had the same problem with my '94 SSV. It's a simple fix, spent $30 on some stainless hardware and it is actually better than factory.
