    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Hi guys. We had a great time using the KF actually on the water last weekend! The boat/motor is completely back to normal. 😁 But there are still a few more minor improvements we'll be making. This afternoon we installed some pads to prevent the Bimini top from scratching the paint when we...

    Specific paint for outboard motor?

    It's the regular single part paint. True, it isn't fuel proof and I can verify that it isn't bug proof either! While towing with the motor up, it got splattered by a big dragonfly and that definitely left a mark. Then again, it's very easy to touch up. And at some point, I'll buy a travel...

    Cutting cable TV

    THANK YOU! I just signed up for Locast and it immediately popped up 46 local channels for us. FORTY-SIX! :eek: It looks like Locast has a bunch of the channels that I'm paying for on Sling (and previously paid for on CATV) but I don't watch a lot of them anyway. It's really nice getting the...

    Some good stuff happening

    We picked up the remaining supplies a couple days ago. We now have everything needed to complete the AC installation and we're just waiting for my neighbor bud to be available. :cool:

    Windows 10 help needed

    Thanks for the info, guys. I was already aware of those options. And upon further research, I've learned that it's a Windows problem and has been reported a number of times with no improvement made. However, I did find a page with links to 3rd party software which can effect the changes. I...

    Back on the water, catching fish

    Yep, it was great getting back on the water after being land bound for 4 months. 🎣 Another good thing about that trip was that we launched and retrieved the boat quickly and without issues. A first for us! :ROFLMAO: :cool:

    Specific paint for outboard motor?

    I used Mercury OEM Phantom Black rattle cans. Worked well for me. And I'm terrible at painting! :cool:

    Windows 10 help needed

    Last week I upgraded my Dell e6500 to Windows 10 and I'm slowly getting things tweaked to the way I want them to be. Everything is legit and activated. Yesterday I installed MS Office 2016 and this morning I started to configure Outlook and was going through the process when an Account Setup...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    The good news is that the KF is fixed and back to normal! We went out for testing this morning and the test period lasted maybe 5 minutes. The boat was good to go, so we wet our lines. 🎣 My wife and the boy caught bluegill and I hooked a couple small bass which came off at the boat. My...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Could be, but it's the first time in 35 years of using a boat for fishing that it's happened to me. It was quite a bummer. ☹️

    Back on the water, catching fish

    Finally got the bugs out of our Starcraft Kingfisher and went fishing this morning. 🎣 My wife and the boy caught bluegill and I hooked a couple small bass which came off at the boat. My shoulders have been killing me for well over a month and I simply couldn't get a proper hookset. 😖 But...

    Some good stuff happening

    Here's the garage this morning. Getting there... And I did get that left channel Bose 301 speaker repaired. I only have 2 large clamps, so a ratchet strap was called into duty. So our tunes are now back to normal! I'm considering getting a subwoofer too! 🤔🤣🎵🥁

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    And my wife was kind enough to repaint the damaged letters on the KF for me. :)

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I was going to update this thread with a long sob story about the KF travails that have been happening which were my fault, but I'll try to keep it short. I messed up and destroyed the fuel hose connector where it mates to the engine. Bought a new one plus a quick disconnect for the fuel tank...

    Some good stuff happening

    Hi all, we're back and doing fine! 😁 Eta turned out to be a fizzle. We over-prepared but I don't mind. Better safe than sorry. I went through Charlie back in 2004 and that was bad. Then came Frances and Jean. Ugh! The night before the storm, the boy and I had managed to get the garage...

    Getting back to where i was, boating, fishing, retired ish TX now :)

    I can no longer fish alone. :rolleyes: But that was my usual method for decades. Going with a close friend or two was always a special treat. 🎣 😎

    Forum update

    I always mark the forum read. Then when I return, the new posts are bolded. I simply click on the thread title and it jumps me to my last read post. I haven't tried it by switching devices though, so if you're going from using your phone and then later going to your computer, it might be...
