    Marina Slip Safe?

    Yeah the slip is at a local yacht club and probably the only slip I will get that cheap ever and also the only one I am close to the front of the waiting list on. The next closest waiting list is the municipal one and they are guessing 3-4 more years before a slip is available.

    Marina Slip Safe?

    I've not actually measured the slip myself the exact wording I got from the guy at the marina is "Slip #46 is spec'd for a maximum boat size of 25' X 9.5'" I think that means the slip is that big but maybe he gives some extra clearance on that, I am not too sure.

    Marina Slip Safe?

    This is in a yacht club marina that has a very nice break wall and I'd be almost back to shore. Far as the protection factor it is better than the other marina I was looking at. Traffic for the marina is low, probably 10 boats a day most days and 20 move on a weekend or race night. I'd guess...

    Marina Slip Safe?

    I think I'd be okay with putting it in the slip since most around here seem to be either 9 or 9.5 wide for the 25 and under slips. Boat traffic would be really low maybe 1-2 boats a day down that ile since it is a yacht club with only about 100 slips total. Bumpers are any size I want them to...

    Replacing Anodes on a 2019 225XL

    Where on the parts list are they? I was looking under the power trim unit and the power steering unit as both seem like the best fit. Also tried assessories but no luck. Damm do I feeldumb today 😅 I'm guessing due to the 2 years it spent in the water before I bought it. Edit** looked up those...

    Marina Slip Safe?

    Water level up and down I've never really tracked a lot, I know year to year we can see 1-2ft difference but throughout the summer I'm not sure. Skill of driving is mid maybe? I've never backed into a slip before however the guy at the marina said it is for a boat up to 9.5ft beam which seems...

    Marina Slip Safe?

    I have gotten an offer on a marina slip (first ever) and am wondering if it would be good. Location is Canada side of the St Lawerence River closer to Lake Ontario, and my boat has a 18 inch draft with engine up and 30 with it down. My LOA is 24.5ft with engine and then 8.5ft beam. The slips is...

    Replacing Anodes on a 2019 225XL

    I have a Mercury 225XL from 2019 and the anodes on it are due to be replaced, especially the bar one. I'm struggling to find the part numbers for these. Anyone have a good way of finding it? I tried google as well as the parts catalogue from Mercury. My next step if no one can help here is to...

    Power steering pump making loud whining sound and condensation inside the housing

    Went today to check the power steering fluid and seems like it is low. I am having someone pick some up for me tomorrow and should know early next week if that was the only issue.

    Power steering pump making loud whining sound and condensation inside the housing

    I have been doing spring prep (stupid me but that is another post) and I have come across a loud whining sound coming from my power steering pump and some water condensation inside it. How do I go about figuring out what is wrong and what is causing each of these issues? I should note that...

    Boat Seat Replacement

    I'd give it a shot yourself if you are handy and if not a local marine canvas shop would help you out pretty cheap. Around my area you'd be paying $125-175 CAD for that to be replaced with cheap material and probably $250 CAD with good stuff. I did a quick search on a local dealer and materials...

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    That is amazing, the best we have around here is a concrete ramp that is double wide and we have game wardens there every few hours. There is probably 100-150 boats through in a busy day. There are certain hours that are horrible and of course that is when you want to go out/in.

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    Getting to the ramp i normally have a cover on and leaving almost never do. Here we normally attach the winch strap and move. The 5 minutes is on a busy day you pretty much have to be out of the staging area since it is so small. Your only other option is so attach your transom straps and...

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    I found some with that working load, that might be a better option then. I used to have an over the top strap on an old crestliner however I am not sure I could do that with this boat due to both the cover (unless I went under) and the fact the boat is taller than I am sitting on the trailer so...

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    I thought it seemed low however it fit within 1/2 the weight of the boat so was unsure. I have always sided on overkill to an extreme with a lot of stuff and am trying to get reference for what is reasonable and not too overkill.

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    I'm in fresh water and I am just trying to make life a bit easier when boating on a busy day. Half the days I go out the launches are nuts so if I can avoid forgetting something all the better. I had factory ones on my previous boat and it was great. I need to replace my current straps so...

    What thinketh the membership here..... Useful or just hype

    I've been looking at something like this for most of the winter. I really want one because I go solo boating most of the time with a 21ft center console which I am unable to reach the boweye from inside the boat and the launch I go to has no way for me to get to it other than over the bow and...

    Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap size

    I am looking to add a new transom strap to my trailer for my Blackfin 212CC which is a 21.5ft center console boat weighting about 3600lbs dry or about 4825lbs fully loaded for a day of fishing. I am looking at straps online and trying to determine what I need for breaking strength to allow me...

    Hooking up a sionyx nightwave to a Simrad Go SX9

    Ah okay I was thinking it came down to just wrong connection type rather than a data processing issue. Damm
