    Adding a GPS unit to a bowrider

    I've got the same unit as JAS ^^^ but I have mine mounted on a RAM mount just under the dash. The screen peeks out to the lower left of the wheel - easier to see than it sounds.

    Tahoe Q5i VHF radio

    Also depends on where you're boating. Bigger waters (ocean, Great Lakes, etc.) may want a little higher line of sight on the antenna when off shore. On the lakes I run here in TN, the handheld is about as good because the hills kill line of sight anyway.

    What year is my Sea King

    Serial number starts with '61 - and that's as good a guess as any for the year the boat was made. Fits the style. What information are you trying to get specifically? Nice little boat. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    We had a goat out on Priest for quite a while. I haven't seen him in years, but he was on the island over by Poole's Knob.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    That's actually Hole in Wall Island on Percy Priest. Water is 80' deep where we are just off the shore. You can get the boat up the channel just a little before it shallows up on you. I've paddled through to the other side, which is kind of fun. People anchor off this island all summer and the...

    Lake Level up ... just a tad ...

    Lake level was low enough to launch. But still not normal. You can see in the parking lot how the water level was situated:

    Dock lighting and piling questions

    I haven't done a dock, but on my deck I bought some cheap solar powered, motion activated, LED lights. I bought cheap ones because I wasn't sure how well they'd work. Three years later they still work great. I'd consider trying 'em on a dock.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Speaking of being on the lake: we did the summer shake down cruise today. Water level is still up, but we could launch. Caught a couple of nice shots:

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    ^^^ Way to go! Saw a couple of great fish while the tournament was wrapping up at the lake today.

    Key Largo 160 CC Cockpit Drain

    Those scuppers should typically be open, and when at rest should sit over the water line. Your bilge pump should handle what you're dealing with now ... but as far as rain goes a good cockpit cover would be the ticket.

    New pistol for carry

    The history of the .357 is related to the .38 Special. The bullets are the same diameter, but the .357 is more powerful. Most .357 rounds a little long so they don't chamber properly in a .38 - mainly because the .38 chambers won't handle the explosion in the chamber. So, typically a .357 can...

    New pistol for carry

    @WIMUSKY - I like that .38! The LCP is like that Taurus. My 9mm is a Taurus. It took me a while to get used to it, but in the long haul, I'm happy with that one.

    New pistol for carry

    ^^^ Yup. I think they were the M&P line up was "Military & Police." I think the idea behind the shield was a good backup piece. They used to have one called the "chief's special."

    New pistol for carry

    I can't imagine it's a "bad" gun. I haven't shot the S&W or the LC9. I bought my LCP before they brought the 9mm versions out. I did check out the S&W and the LC9 later though. What I found (personally) was that I think I would still stay with the LCP. I gravitate to Rugers anyway. Sometimes...
