    Fish Finders

    Seagulls are minnow and scrap chasers. If I see seagulls chasing bait I don’t bother getting out of the truck. Now if I see gannets on the hunt or diving it’s game on.

    Combining starting and deep cycle batteries

    In short no. The switch is to divide the charge from the motor between two batteries. It does not control what device is wired to which battery

    18' Triton Bay Flight on 5 Starr WR Trailer (is this setup okay?)

    Just finished moving my boat from a tandem Loadrite roller that it sat on for 20 years over to Loadrite 5 Star aluminum bunk. You need to get the boat up and the rollers moved outboard if possible. Get the bunks to narrow you have issues centering the boat while loading Increase the height of...

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    Call them..... Most common "automotive" rubbers (Viton, Nitrile, EPDM) could care less about ethanol. It's the formulation of the now 40 year old fuel lines and gaskets that get people in trouble.

    150 EXEOM Choke solonoid picture.

    No, the solenoid didn't fail. Too many years in electronics manufacturing to have any faith in a solenoid once the windings are burnt. It's only a matter time..... Replaced with OEM switch and aftermarket solenoid.

    150 EXEOM Choke solonoid picture.

    Mine did the same thing last Spring It just quit working. Upon further inspection found the coil had overheated and melted the epoxy as yours did. Traced it back to a sticking key switch. Replaced the switch and primer. Everything was back to normal. Fast forward to this year. Had to...

    Lift OR Floating Dock

    Two primary reasons…no bottom paint to deal with and the weather/tides, but let’s start with what Bay are we talking about and what direction is that facing? Local flood stage? You say protected but what is its proximity /orientation to open water? Surges are amplified in closed in areas How...

    Storage on land

    Never heard of such a thing. What kind of plug do you have that requires a “sealer” every year? Besides, it’s that boat self bailing? My plug is brass. Comes once a year at best. Apply a coat of marine grease for good luck and reinstall. Never heard of, nor seen an electronic component such...

    Shim material for swim step bracket

    I would start by flattening out the mounting bracket. Put an 1/8” thick nylon washer under each mounting hole and bolt it up.

    Solar pool heater water flow question(s)

    My dad built his first roof top solar pool heater in the 70’s. Used 50’ of 3/4” black well pipe coiled up and stapled to a 2x4x 96” laying on the roof of the house, roughly 15’ in elevation change. Teed into the 1.5” output of the pump. Used a 3/4” gate way to control the flow. Ran the return...

    Trim tab options

    Doubt it, but way more than I needed on a 23’ boat. Any particular reason you choose electric over hydraulic? Not a fan of electric tabs. It’s not if one fails, it’s when one fails. The bigger issue is that you can’t retract one once they fail unlike hydraulic tabs. No fun limping home from...

    Post your 3 numbers.... "Closest" in size doesn't cut it with o-rings

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    Neither match "the bowl is about 2" across" comment. Get a pair of calipers and measure the depth and inside and outside diameters of the groove on the bottom of the carb. Those three dimensions will determine which o-ring to use
