    Good Ear muffs

    Muffs should NOT be used to check water pump as the hose pressure can cause enough pressure to create a false reading !!

    rodent infestation

    Start outside, but you will need more than one, and move them often. Rodents soon learn where they are located. You should have one or two inside to catch any that make it inside. To clear them all out, you will need a good month of regular diligence setting traps and rebaiting everyday...

    Installing a trolling motor on a 21ft CC

    You can still use one cord, just have multiple plugs on it. My boat gas three chargers and one cord.....the cord has a triple female plug on one end to plug the chargers into...

    Installing a trolling motor on a 21ft CC

    Using the max draw each use will shorten the life of these batteries. While they can handle the deep discharge, it will reduce the number of cycles the battery is able to provide. Also questioning why you will be needing to run your trolling motor at wot all the time ? The total runtime can...

    Installing a trolling motor on a 21ft CC

    lifePo4 batteries all the way....best move I ever made with batteries ! Watch the sales, my battery was the same cost as two deep cycle LA batteries and the pull has twice the power and 1/4 th the weight. Run time is almost 3x as long as the LA batteries. Just be sure to use the correct...

    Can I buy a trailer online?

    What is the definition of local ? A weekend getaway is local for me, no problem driving a few hundred miles to get what I want. When you buy online....is it assembled ? Shipping costs can be a deal killer. Years back, I did buy a small boat trailer kit on line. All galvanized, 1000#...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    A few years back, I had what I thought was a mirror on a truck coming the opposite direction hit the side of my vehicle. It was dark so visibility was not great. I stopped as did the oncoming driver, we chatted for a couple minutes and he told me a deer ran into the side of my truck. Sure...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    Now even more confused.....my aluminum boat has no wires connected to the aluminum hull, but it does show 12v when testing with a vom. It must be thru the SS bolts bolting the motor on to the transom.

    Pump themed anchor

    Sounds to me like he is going to duplicate the anchor feature on his trolling motor. Mine works well in winds up to 15 mph and 2' chop. No matter what you want to use, the coast hard still requires an actual anchor on board if you're use any kind of public waterway.

    Think I would prefer mine cleaned and skinned before roasting ! Burnt fur does not sound appetising.....

    Time for a new mattress

    Perfect timing on this mattress subject. About 8 years back we tried one of the foam mattresses and to date have been disappointed with it. My wife has a bad back even after 2 surgeries and both hips replaced. I have ploymyalgia, arthritis of the muscles an RA and the foam mattress seems to...

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    Back in the mid 70's we installed a wood burner in our 1600 sq ft home. Had access to free wooden we had re insulated our home when the siding was updated. After about 22 years it averaged out to about 2-3 cords per year. Mild winters closer to 2 cord and harsh winters closer to 3 cord. We had...

    recmnds for 2.5" fuel filler hose under my console

    All of my built-in tank fill hoses have been 1 1\2" ID hose, can't say I have saw anything bigger. Replaced my fill hose a couple years back when I replaced the hose to the motor. The fill hose was a little stiff but nothing terrible, was able to make a bend by hand to make final connections...
