    Livewell Light color

    I’ve been adding some LED lights inside my boat for nighttime fishing. I’m looking to add some to my livewell to see better as it is black plastic. Wondering what color would be best? Thinking of red or blue…..not wanting it to be too harsh?

    Running Lights on trailer

    My running lights are working intermittently on my trailer and I’m looking for some direction. They will work sometimes and then stop working once turn the truck off and come back and occasionally come back on while driving. I started by checking grounds and looking for wiring issues. I have a...

    Engine mount 80lb Minn Kota

    I have an engine mounted 80lb thrust Minn Kota hooked up to 4 group 27 deep cycles. They are set up in 2 12 volt banks with 2 deep cycles in each bank. Then the banks are wired in series to get 24v. Today while trolling I lost power. I turned the motor off from the remote at the helm and...

    Automatic boat latch for launch/retrieval

    Has anyone used one of these before? I don't often fish alone, but when I do I have a decent system for getting the boat launched and retrieved but if it works as advertised this would be significantly easier.... http://www.boat2trailerhookup.com/

    Trying out the GoPro

    The video isn't anything crazy, but was impressed with the video quality.....specifically when the sun gets right behind the boat and the light change at the end when getting into the harbor

    Meet Avery....my newest fishing buddy

    It's been awhile since I have posted.....and with good reason. 6 months ago my wife and i had this little bundle of joy. After a C-section and spending a couple weeks at Childrens Hospital due to gluclose problems and some complications from being early and small (4 lbs 7oz), she has become a...

    Man did I get lucky....

    Brought the boat home from storage today and happened to notice grease all over the rim and my dust cap was off. At first I figured the cap had just come loose and I would just have to get a new one. I then noticed that the spindle wasn't centered in the hub and realized that the rear seal was...

    Low Battery Alarm

    I have a Huminbird 997c and a Huminbird 597ciHD at the helm, and both have low battery alarms. I had it set at 12.0 volts at the start of this season. On the first couple of trips, it never went off. My starting battery (which also runs all of the accessories) started to go bad sometime after...

    Finally! Its been a long two years....

    2 years ago, I made the choice to go back to school and finish a degree that I never finished. I originally went to college for architecture and urban planning, but switched to business and then never finished because I decided to work instead. I started getting promoted and the $ made me...

    Backup Camera

    Before the upgrade there was a post about backup cameras, and I thought I would post a picture of what my after-market camera shows at the landing....obviously not everyone has one on the older vehicles and this gives an idea of what you would see if anyone was looking to add one for this purpose.

    Do I add a 4th battery??

    Last Fall I had posted about trying to fix a rats nest of wiring in my new to me 2005 Lowe. The previous owner added a lot of extra stuff, and he clearly didn't care how or where he connected it. I have the wiring sorted, traced, and now labeled. I also took out the tube fuse panel under the...

    Battery set up opinions

    I hope everyone isn't too sick and tired of reading and responding to posts like this...... I recently purchased a new to me 2005 LOWE that I am planning on redoing the battery set-up on at the end of the season. I am not planning on rewiring everything at the moment. Here is what I have to...

    This doesn't look right....to me anyways

    I was stumbling through Craigslist, and saw this picture of a boat being sold. It is the only picture in the ad. Now I am a large man. I push 310lbs, but I cannot imagine being solo in the front of a boat and having it sit in the water this way. Doesn't it just seem like it is listing too...

    Boat that doesn't want to be sold....

    Anyone have a boat that never gave you problems until you try to sell it?? Trying to get my 14ft Alumacraft ready to sell. I have owned it 7 years and NEVER had an issue with it. I decided to do a little maintenance and clean up on it as I am getting ready to list it. I had a fuel pump kit...

    Winch Strap Question......I should know this

    I really should know this, and feel dumb for even asking, but......:facepalm: I am looking to replace the winch strap on my winch. It is currently a nylon rope, and I think I am fortunate that it hasn't failed my first few times out. I assume the previous owner powerloaded all the way to the...
