    Adding Distilled water to battery. what qualifies as distilled?

    rain is evaporated water that condenses in the air, forms up as drops and when heavy enough falls as rain...(sleet, snow, etc.) So initially, it's almost as pure as distilled. But the problem is the air is not pure. So as the droplets form into clouds and then fall as rain, they collect these...

    Drainage of the pontoon

    I used my shop vac exhaust with duct taped smaller hose to inject air into my pontoon to find the two leaks I've had in the past few years. I don't think a shop vac can generate enough psi to hurt the toon, plus the vinyl hose was a loose fit in the plug hole. My plugs are on top. The one leak...

    good morning :)

    I have a 24' 2006 pontoon boat. Purchased around 2017. Probably the most consistent maintenance issue is/was keeping the seats and carpet clean and mildew free through the operating season. I say was because I just had all the upholstery redone with top grade marine vinyl and a new custom cover...

    "Flat" pontoons

    I'd want to see a picture. You can't necessarily tell if a pontoon has a leak just because someone says it looks and floats ok. It needs to be checked. If its's not leaking, handling is gonna be a wait and see kinda thing. Since I've never driven a pontoon with that kinda damage, your guess is...

    opinions...snake oil ?or legit.?

    thanks.... and did some googling myself. A couple of boat magazine tests....And found a long thread on some other forum.....basically inconclusive considering all I read. Was just curious if anyone on here could say specifically. looks like no.

    opinions...snake oil ?or legit.?

    Anyone heard of this? Just saw it now. So the thought hits me that instead of getting ny 'toons painted for this up coming season, ($$)...why not try this instead. Since I'd be operating in the upper chesapeake, it's brackish but minimal,

    Vinyl curtain shrinking.

    this might be something you could use. I use'd them for my double bimini top and enclosure, due to canvas shrinking the last 17 years.

    Prop size

    "flex"....ok... I don't know as experienced, and never claimed it as a fact. I said "I think"....and then I said "do research" furthermore, any specific info or statements on "flexing " came specifically from this site and people that are on it....not from any knowledge of mine. So here:.... and...

    Prop size

    general rule of thumb.... Adding a blade, or increasing diameter, or increasing pitch, with everything else being equal, reduces rpm....throw in cupping, different manufacturers adds to the internet propping dilemma. Going from a stainless to an aluminum also effects rpm...I think it increases...

    Tritoon maybe

    actual reports are better than internet theories. Good to know. what performance increases did you see?

    Hit the Dock!!😳

    yep , pictures standard pontoon construction has "M" brackets welded to the top of the toons and these brackets, at least on mine, are bolted to the "L" shaped stringers running width wise. Its all aluminum, so It's possible you tweaked the alignment, and could've possibly cracked the weld...

    Tritoon maybe

    things to consider: I have a 24', '06 pontoon with twin 25" tubes. I also added a 115hp motor up from a 60 hp . I gained about 6 mph. a 3rd toon adds significant weight and drag. There goes your new added hp. Plus, wouldn't a 3rd toon cause more difficult steering at slower speeds? . I guess...
