    Add Pontoon Log/Seal Outboard mount pod?

    My 21 footer with 2 logs is great for 4 to 6 people - until they all congregate at one end of my pontoon boat. I saw where someone had sealed up the rear pod the outboard is mounted on. Anyone done that? Effectiveness? Any buoyancy would help. 3rd log? I don't want to get too major here...

    Gravel Road Protection

    Awesome lake trip planned for next summer with my pontoon boat and single axle Shorlander trailer BUT there is 70 miles of good road with coarse rock gravel. Looking for protection beyond the rock tamer set up I have on my back truck back bumper and mudflaps.

    keel weight?

    Got into a conversation about boats and the stability of a sailboat came up. Naturally the "keel" came up and the next question was "so what does a keel weigh?" Is there any ratio of length/weight/draft/sail area/beam or whatever that might give a weight? Or just how about how much weight...

    Spotlight Mounting Point

    :joyous:I have a remote controlled spotlight for my pontoon boat. From what I hear, it should be as high as possible but reflect as little light as possible to preserve night vision. I have the usual bimini top. My firts idea was to mount it up front on the deck ahead of the fence. Any thoughts?

    Pontoon motor first start of season

The engine has not been started to date and I plan to hit the water this weekend. Should I drain a cup of oil out and put that...

    My pontoon has an onboard permanent fuel tank which I wanted. Refueling is a real pain if I use a jerry can. The fuel tank neck filler is mounted vertically on the left side rear fence area off the sun platform and I have a heck of a time adding fuel on or off the trailer (I won't refuel on...

    Under Skinning

    I looked at my 21 foot Princecraft in my storage shed tonight and those cross bars just scream to be covered. Last summer I lay down on the front deck and looked underneath to a mess of churned up water beating off the crossmembers. Any tips on what to do or not do? I am thinking 1/16 inch...

    I need a transducer mount at the rear of my other pontoon (only one mount came installed on the right side pontoon) to mount another transducer. Is there a trustworthy adhesive that will attach a bracket to the pontoon?

    mooring cover re-inforcement

    I have been quoted $1,500 to $1,800 for a travel cover for my 21 foot pontoon boat. The past summer I used the mooring cover in ignorance while towing. After the 3rd or 4th trip and the education on the cost of an actual travel tarp I knowingly continued and reduced my speed to 50 miles an...
