    Depth finder

    It'll cycle through the numbers for the depth alarm setting. Just sayin... If it were me...I'd get the gauge off the backside of the dash. Bet it cures what ails it.

    Depth finder

    Look again at the gauge itself - it doesn't look like its installed properly. There's usually buttons to increase/decrease the depth alarm on these and they aren't present because....they're burried behind the dash. Look at how the LL for Lowrance is off kilter...that's not factory, that's...

    Depth finder

    My guess, based off a couple of these I've had, is that the gauge is pressed right up against the dash which is depressing a button, or two. Pull the depth finder....are there buttons on it?

    Nobody fishing?

    My better half's fish. We tried for the first time some Northland Buck-shot rattle spoons tipped with worm. Worked wonders where we fish. 1/8oz as they fish with either ultralight or light spinning gear **I go medium for bigger lures/fish.

    So i was gifted a boat..

    http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=File:Seastarb71010.jpg Answered my own question...tis glass....but a small one. Not going to be as monumental as a larger boat, but still going to be $$$$ to restore properly if needed.

    Nobody fishing?

    Season is pretty much wrapped up for my family (we don't ice fish). I'll see if I can dig up some pics later but... All my boys caught fish this year. Oldest caught his first largemouth bass and first catfish - both were in the 12" range. Middle son caught his first largemouth and first...

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    Sounds like a motor or tranny mount if its traveling from front to back of the car. Could be wrong and it may very well be a driveshaft as mentioned above. Any abnormal tire wear to indicate it maybe bad shock/strut/spring? Mileage on the car?

    So i was gifted a boat..

    Depending on where you are, the most important piece is going to be the paperwork proving you own it. If you don't have that and are stateside you may have a challenge getting it registered. This is the first thing I would sort out before sinking any beer/wine/rum/vodka tokens into it. After...

    Moving 3rd toon back

    I'd be concerned that moving the center log back would change the stresses on the toon and could be the tipping point for possible failure. What that'd look like is anyone's guess. If the toon supports it, might just want a bigger motor. If not, might be time to upgrade to a different pontoon...

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    Yep. A V6 on a SUV chassis is a capable platform IF you do your research. It's the reason why the Durango in my sig has the factory tow package for the 6200lbs towing. Most people don't which is why I think there's some sticklers who are still in the..... full sized pickup + v8 + 4x4 camp...

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    I think that some of it is just sheer stupidity on the driver's part. Other could be related to the "Tim the Toolman Taylor" mentality of bigger is better. Other is that driver education here doesn't involve towing trailers. My drivers training back in the early 90's said the following when I...

    Medically dependent on electricity?

    Grandmother was on oxygen at night. No power, no oxygen. She was on record with the local fire department and electric company so that if something happened, she was first on the list for emergency services. I also have several aquariums that need power to run their filters & heaters. I'm...

    2022 NFL - Week 4

    Soo....Tua gets concussed, but not really - at least according to the Dolphins & Tua - during the Bills game, returns to that game, then plays this one and gets his bell wrung soundly again - this time requiring hospitalization. And somehow he managed to start? This has coverup written all over it.

    PSA on Winterization Antifreeze

    The marina that winterizes mine, which happens to be an authorized Merc and Volvo dealer/repair center, leaves the system empty. We freeze, hard sometimes, in NY. Take it for what its worth.

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    Only time my parents ever got stuck was one particular year retrieving the MFG while we were on vacation at Baptiste Lake, Bancroft ON. The launch at the campsite was sand and led directly into the lake. While retrieving the boat, our 1981 Chevy Malibu wagon, mid-sized v6, had the rear tires...

    Bayliner engine cover, help!!

    Given the age of the boat, your best bet is going to be your local upholstery shop. **This assumes that your boat is the one in the bottom photo and requires the padded top to the existing cover.

    Bad Gas tank design

    https://www.verandamarine.com/faq/#toggle-id-5 3 year for her/his model year. I think the comment was that eventually the gasket would wear out, after the warranty expired, and then the owner would be on the hook for the repairs. At least, if I'm reading all that right...which apparently is...
