    Leaking boat

    Use the boat on warm sunny days. The water will evaporate. If it really bothers you , clean and seal all seams inside and outside, with gluvit. Don’t use any kind of caulk or silly silicone.

    What type transom straps do you prefer

    Only time I've had a transom strap loosen, is when the boat moved /settled, when going down the road. The old trailer would flex a little and the boat would wiggle a little, and the straps would have a little slack in them. Adjusted bow roller height and problem went away.

    What type transom straps do you prefer

    These are the ones I use on the 2 boats now. Also have one of these that I put over the gunnels, extra safety and it keeps the cover from ballooning and flopping around. None of these have ever loosed up, even on 1,000+ mile trips.

    What type transom straps do you prefer

    I bought a set of these a 3 years ago. Loved them. About 7 launchings per year in fresh water. Last year one failed, locked up. Couldn't get it to release. Had to cut it off at the ramp. 2 weeks later, the other failed, would tighten almost far enough, then would slip loose.

    1982 MR 180

    Hook 7 or Helix 7 I've got one of each, and a new in the box Helix5 gen 2, that I picked up at a rummage for $100. Or if you want larger and easier to read, go for the 9" models. Go for the model that gives you sonar and gps map. Both are pretty easy to use. Either will work great for you. No...

    How does RV financing work?

    Be careful with a “construction to permanent “ type loan. Many have restrictions as to how you can use the property. Specifically the use of a camper.

    Mid 90s (‘95)Four Winns vs mid 90s(‘96) Monterey bow riders

    Resale/depreciation concerns went away 15 years ago on those boats. Mid tier maybe, but means nothing if they are trashed, or have hidden damage. Current condition, maintenance history, engine / outdrive condition and recent service are what you need to know. Post links to the ads of the boats...

    Good Tow Vehicle ? - Tow Rating ?

    What do you think the tow rating would be on this vehicle? Seems it would make a nice over nighter for those weekend fishing trips. https://www.ebay.com/itm/354538356784?hash=item528c220030:g:ob8AAOSw7fVjyBRQ

    cockpit enclosure

    Well, there aren't any just sitting in a warehouse. Local canvas shop or marina. If you don't have the framework, they can make that too.

    Winch post on boat trailer

    Looks to me like your port side front rollers are higher. Starboard side are lower. If so, that would cause the boat to load to starboard side of trailer.

    Honda RPM gage signal voltage

    I believe your tach only responds to the number of pulses produced by the stator. So as rpm increase, pulses increase, tachometer responds. Yes voltage may change, and amps will increase as rpm increase, but its the pulses that are counted.
