    Removable Trailer Guides

    Pretty slick way of adding a could of guides to the trailer that store right in the back of my truck. There are simply a pair of fiberglass rods with a female pipe thread on one side. I drilled through the mounting bracket and fender and attached a piece of pipe thread which is held on the a...

    Hummingbird 997 GPS combo chart question.

    I received this unit on my "new" used boat along with a 597 ciHD. I bought the lakemaster SD card for the HD lake charts, but cannot get them to work in the 997. I have tried both card slots.....but the only thing that happens is it says "loading charts" on the top for a second or two. When I...

    115hp Mercury Optimax Question

    Recently purchased a new to me 2005 Lowe Fishing Machine 175s (17.5ft long w/ 92" beam). On it is mounted a 115hp Mercury Optimax of the same year. Current prop is 19 pitch. I assume I should be at 5600-5700 rpm WOT.... I was finally able to take it out on a larger lake today where I could...

    Boat Cover Help (Lowe FM175s)

    I just purchased a new to me 2005 Lowe FM 175s, and I am having a heck of a time with the Cabelas ratchet tite cover. I am not at all happy with the fit, and I even ordered the cover a foot longer and a few inches wider to account for the trolling motor and other accessories. Not sure if...

    Lowe FM175 towing

    I recently bought a 2005 LOWE FM175s with 115hp Optimax and am storing it at my dad's house as I don't have room here. He might want to take it out when I am unable to go with him, but his tow vehicle is a 96' Jeep Cherokee Country with 4.0L engine. I suggested to him that I thought the boat...

    Rain!!!! Close, but yet so FAR away......

    This is what happens in Milwaukee when it dounpours for a bit after a couple of months with no rain. It rained for 10 minutes at work. Unfortunately it DID NOT rain at my house.....the yard is still a desert.

    Anyone happen to catch the most recent episode? One of their outboards breaks down and they show a screen shot of an online boating forum where they went for answers.....99% sure it was iboats.

    Meat!

    Since the topic has been brought up........with a lack of pics each time. Not on the grill, but it was like 40 degrees the other night, it was late, and I sometimes prefer the cast iron method for steaks. Screaming hot skillet....4mins each side. Throw some butter on top and stick it in a...

    Going to Vegas.....

    I am going to Las Vegas with the wife for a week on Saturday. We really want to see the Beatle's LOVE show. Any other recommendations? I plan on buying tickets to whatever we plan on seeing once we get there. I figure the day of the show we might be able to get some cheaper tickets since...

    Is this custom??

    Saw this today at work, and wondered if it was a custom truck. I have never seen one before like this....especially with a full sized bed.

    Headaches..................

    The past 4-5 years I have occasionally suffered from periods of EXTREME headaches. I can't really describe them in any other way. They are always on one side of my head.....always my right side. It is a searing pain directly behind my eye that carries with it an immense amount of pressure...

    Basement Remodel....Pool Table??

    Last Fall I finished remodeling my basement; turning it into a rec room/bar area. The other day I was at a neighbor's house and were playing pool. I forgot how much fun it was....played it a lot in college (probably should have been in class). So now I am thinking of possibly getting a table...

    Axe Men?

    Anyone else watch this show. There was a scene from this Sunday's show that I thought was really odd. Two loggers are on a river pontoon when the motor shuts off and they cannot get it restarted. Apparently they remove the gas line at which point the fuel hits the hot cylinders or the spark...

    Honda CR-V thoughts?

    My wife (oh yeah did I forget to mention while I was away from iboats I got married) currently has a 2004 Kia Optima with 120k on it. The shocks and struts will need to be replaced soon as the tires are wearing pretty unevenly.....making the ride rough. I am not a fan of this car....has the V6...

    The Deer Under my Stand

    Its been 2 months since gun-deer season ended here in Wisconsin, and I just now have gotten around to looking at the pictures on my trail camera. I left the SD card up at the trailer and haven't had a chance to get it until recently. I hunt on 60 acres of private family land. 2 years ago I...
