    Load-rite doesn’t have a clue. Not that many marine disc brakes on the market. Most likely Kodiak, Dexter or Tiedown.

    Fluorocarbon line is less pliable than other lines.

    Stren was the name brand of the day back then. Used it exclusively for years. It wasn't until I got into saltwater fishing that a line's characteristics (diameter, stretch, abrasion resistance, knot strength, etc.) had to be taken into consideration. Only then did I start looking at other...

    Question on NMEA connection for marine VHF

    ETEC Outboard Dual Throttles uneven

    Depends on why they are uneven. If the linkage is just plain out of adjustment or stretched, sure. If the adjustments are different to compromise for engine related issues, not so much.

    Covering boat w/ T-Top on a lift ????
