Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Dont know about the noise ordinance. Grew up in the suburbs of Washington DC. Didnt move to the Baltimore area until the early 80’s.
Rt. 40 on the west side was replaced with Rt. 70 in the early 1970s.
What’s left of Rt.40 on the west side is called the Baltimore National Pike until you get...
State street?
The “Block”, now designated a National historical area, is on East Baltimore street.
Only a small portion of it still exists. A block, maybe block and a half at best. Used to go all the way down to Gay St.
Don't fool yourself......been hanging out on Hatteras Island, NC going on 40 years.
Have watched the island march South and West with my own eyes.
Had some of the worst flooding I've ever scene on the island last week from a prolonged Northeast blow...
Pretty much doing the same here.
You have to get past being sentimental and look at things as the old, outdated objects they really are. If they were truly historical pieces, you would have no problem getting top dollar
At this point, it’s easier to give away to “idiots” than haul to scrape
Two alternative channels (15’ and 25’ draft) already been reopened.
The amount of equipment currently on-site I would be surprised if it’s not reopened in the next 60 days

There is technically no such classification as “marine grease”.
Different applications require different grease formulations. Arguably the best grease in marine wheel bearing application (water resistance, high drop temp) is calcium sulphonate.
For applications with direct exposure to water...
You have something going on.
Your amp is rated at 50W RMS per channel.
I can litterly rattle the windows in the house with my 50W per channel amp and pair of 3-way studio monitors at 1/2 volume.
Polarities right?
Ohm matched?
Could just be very inefficient speakers.
What are you using?

Typical behavior of a battery on the way out.
“Holding voltage” is a meaningless measure of performance. Have the battery load tested to determine condition
When I had a roller trailer, I had a piece of rope roughly 6' long with a slip knot tied on one end. Lassoed the winch post and tied off to the bow cleat to keep the boat from sliding back. Got off boat, connected the cable and winched to the post.
With the bunk, I can load shallow and stick...
Ideally, you would have filled and bleed it on the bench. Now you’re stuck bleeding on the boat which can be a pain.
I use a small funnel with flexible nozzle to fill. They make “squirt” tops that screw on the fluid bottles as well.
The shop manual will give instruction of how to bled.
Something to think about…extending the distance between supports (axle and hitch) can get you in trouble unless the trailer was designed for such a span.
Will not get into the math, but increasing the distance from axle to hitch by 24” increases the deflection of the trailer’s support...
Moving rollers bunks and axles sounds pretty drastic for only adding #200 to the transom.
Normally, you position the boat on the trailer to get the proper tongue weight, the rest pretty much falls in place.
Is the trailer designed to handle a 22’ boat?
What is the calculated weight of your...
