Could not imagine not having fresh water on the boat. Always washing my hands in the cockpit sink and often attach a hose for a quick rinse off shower on a hot day or when I have to go swimming to get line out of the props (twice!). Would I drink it no never but that's not what it is there...

Boats with hardtop riggers that I have been on that attach the halyards to the hardtop support when trolling are a real pain. These guys are afraid to drill holes in the gunnel to place an anchor point. I would place the anchor point a short distance bow side off the rod holder used for the...

failure when turning off and operation when turned on supports switch. switches are cheaper than pumps

do you buy or make plate?

I went with bulbs

check out billy baits mini turbo slammer for 5x pts. Ilander look and action for 1/3 price. Work great for me

searched in vain, nothing to buy for now

Went to the GW site and looked at what comes with new model 285. Only 2 batts. A lot of pumps and lights and options for more power grabs, power sun shade, bow thruster, etc.... That's not even getting started with the electronics. Sorry 2 batts seems light to me.

Avoid the kingfish, I am not a fan of wire and hate to lose 20$ Ilanders. Target Sails, Mahi, and Blackfin

Ordered an assortment from Capt Harry's. Been meaning to try them for awhile.

I have been getting lazy lately and not rigging my own. So now it is 3 for 15$ from Baitmaster, hate to waste any. If I can keep them frozen I can also bring a larger variety, wire leader, double hook, larger, etc and again not worry about waste (which I did and all unused came back solid...

Cannot understand why a manufacturer would produce a boat like yours without a dedicated house bank. If it was my boat I would add one, but that is me.

So dry ice test was a success. Put dry ice in cooler night before, placed frozen packs of bally in next morning at 0630. Thawed 3 packs on the way out. Used 2 packs immediately but conditions were horrible and no fish. Had not opened the third pack and since looked like it was going to be a...

So delivery time for 12v freezer was not jiving with our spring trip up north, maybe when I get back. So decided to try the dry ice in my yeti clone cooler. Follow up tomorrow. Dry ice was 14 bucks at Publix

Have to give a shout out for Baitmasters of So. Florida. Best bally I have ever used. Stays bright, trolls great, doesn't wash out. Give them a look.
