    ^^^ I'm kinda' caught in the middle. My grass looks like it could stand a trim, but they're threatening us with flurries this weekend. :unsure:

    New pistol for carry

    I looked at the S&W .380 Bodyguard when I bought my LCP. Almost went with it, but the Ruger was cheaper, simpler and I like Ruger guns. I stayed .380 simply so I had a very compact carry gun - especially in the summer. .380 shoots okay. I wouldn't wanna' compete with it, but for "get me outta'...

    Keep stokin' the fire Scott ... I'm heading to the Keys in a couple weeks.

    GPS Location APP

    ^^^ It happens. Surprisingly, sometimes the interface on the avionics is a little more klunky than you would think in such a "smart phone" world. The crew should own it and use it for improvement purposes; particularly because of the type of incident it is. But, you can always tell a pilot ...

    New pistol for carry

    Went back and watched the video you posted Musky - I think dude sped his film up some. Watched a couple of more videos on the gun, and no one was getting double taps off like the first vid. I shot competitively with a Glock that had a similar trigger pull. The 1911 guys were almost always...

    New pistol for carry

    That's impressive. Never touched the Max-9, but I'm a pretty big Ruger fan.

    Need to ID motor

    You do: you will find a port on the top of the intermediate immediately outside of the transom of the boot. You will have to suck the old lube out and then replace it - I've used a turkey baster kind of rig in the past.

    Best Phone App for Charts

    You can use the app for free, but it doesn't have all of the chart data. You have to subscribe to get all of the data. I think the charts that I purchased in the past ran me about $30. The online planning viewer is very good too, like Scott said.

    Best Phone App for Charts

    I played with Navionics to see how accurate it was several years ago. I was on iPhone 4 or 5 at the time. You can see the results HERE. Honestly, I was pretty impressed. Here in TN, I can keep the screen shaded and typically only need the chart view for a short time. When I was on the ICW using...

    Best Phone App for Charts

    The Hummingbird finder that I got a couple years ago has a decent set of maps for the lakes inland, and it can integrate with Navionics. I also have Navionics on my phone, and since I am rarely where I can't get reception I like the way Navionics works for me.

    Hi from Newfoundland Canada :) Intro Fourwinns Fling

    Welcome aboard. You may want to take some time, put the plug in and back the trailer into the water. Look for water invading the boat. If five years ago it started taking on water, that problem likely hasn't been solved. If you can't find water coming in when the boat is floating (still...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I did the Bayliner too. Kinda' funny for me that for the most part "winterizing" is just pullin' the block drain and shovin' it back in the garage. But we won't get a chance to go back out until December at the earliest ... and the Admiral isn't much of a winter boaterette.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    There are three, maybe four now, ships at Jamestowne in Virginia: The Susan Constant & Godspeed are the two I know for sure. They're as close to original as they felt they could build them, and don't carry engines on board. The Susan Constant sails a couple times per year I think: don't need...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Took a nice ride on Dale Hollow Lake yesterday outta' Sunset Marina. Hadn't been on this lake in a few years. Very pretty day, and the food at the marina restaurant was top notch :cool:

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    Dunno' about attracting dirt and grit, but I never greased those gears. Cleaned 'em often enough, but never greased them.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Very cool @sphelps : did they have engines on that one? I got to see the Niña in Knoxville a few years ago. I was surprised at how small it was, but the guys sailing her said it was pretty close to the right size of the original. She was fitted with a couple of engines due to regulations based...

    Need to ID motor

    Outboardbooks.com BUT - just a word of "caution." This drive is old, obsolete, finicky and parts are getting harder to find for them. The OMC Electric shift was done by 1977, and OMC was gone by the mid-90s. It's an antique drive and it will take time and attention in the garage. A lot of...

    Scott beat me to it. Full electric shift. Even has the outboard "arm" steering.

    Wanna' get some photos of the drive up so we can see if they help a little?

    Need to ID motor

    Welcome aboard. 1979 shouldn't be electric shift. They were into hydro-electric for a couple years at that point. Look for an OMC tag with a model number around the engine mounts. Model number would read something like "990267S1 1979." Also put a few photos up ... that'll help narrow things...
