    Vinyl protectant/conditioner

    I wasn't kidding about windex. The upholsterer that re-did my pontoon shocked me with that answer. I was expecting otherwise. I wanted to also hear what product to use on my now new $5800 upholstery job, but it wasn't what I expected. I'm at a new marina this year on the chesapeake. I ran the...

    Need to determine best prop for weird setup

    props.... These are readings from my pontoon of 4 different props. 3 different props give the same results. The 3-16x12 gave me the higher rpm I wanted (6100 +/-) with just me on board so that pulling teenagers on tubes let me stay at the upper 5000 rpms. Point is, props aren't some magical...

    What thinketh the membership here..... Useful or just hype

    bunk trailer , 24' pontoon boat. I load and unload myself. I use the motor when loading , idle, to keep the boat on until I connect the winch. I've marked the trailer, yellow paint, to give me a reference for how deep to go. It helps.
