We actually get a lot of use from the freshwater tank. Fishing 50 miles offshore with 100 degrees, it is nice to go down in the cabin, clean the salt and oils off glasses and sunglasses, rinse face/dowse head and towel dry. Now feel like 100% again! ;) We also use it to rinse off all the reels...

Hardware stores....

I sandblasted mine last season and repainted. If they rust again, I will replace with same as I do with my house batteries. I use PVC board. Cut into strips and surround the battery base, screw to floor with SS screws. I install SS all thread rod, bent to hook into a SS Eye hook. I then use...

I use a dry bag and it works with no problems so far. For smaller stuff, I put in those plastic trays that close and put in the cabin in the storage box. No issues there either. You can also use vacuum bags, but over time, they lose seal, but really don't get enough salt air or humidity to harm...

Very nice! Yachtafun, who makes that sunshade you have in your pic?

X2 what Dennis and Skunkboat said. I do the same. 87 ethanol fuel with Startron and Ring Free, no issues. I have tried the non ethanol to compare and could not see any difference in performance or mileage. Why pay the higher price? The HPDI does very well with the non ethanol as long as you use...

I switched over from the synthetic and normal waxes to ceramic last year. The difference is night and day. The ceramic was easy to apply, not real expensive. Only some of the topsides where a lot of exposure needs to be re-polished, prepped and re-applied to go another season. Working on that...

It has been a while since I did this work, but like Hookup1 said, just work it with prying slowly and slide in a thin piece of metal if you have something like a long spatula or even a long filet knife (be careful not to cut yourself) to release the caulk. I think I had one spot that released on...

Ok, here you go! Trailer Aide...

Based on your testimonial and many others, I went with the GY Endurance since I have had enough of blowouts and tire changes. My tire change method is now a perfect science and last time was able to change out in about 8 minutes give or take. No jack, no wrenches. Hardest part is finding a spot...

In my case, I have the surge brakes on a 12K trailer and with Kodiak brakes. It has very strong brakes. The original problem I had was the Excursion factory brakes were not even sufficient enough just for the truck. Now it is sufficient alone and that is an immense difference with the trailer...

I moved from the factory tires on my new trailer to the GY Endurance and hoping for the best luck with them like others that have had them longer are saying they are excellent! I had great success with Maxxis over the years. Never a blowout or failure. By the way I am very anal about the...

I have the 92 252G model. She is very heavy when fully fueled, water and gear. My estimated weight is just under the 10K mark with trailer. I use a Ford Excursion which is a 3/4 ton truck with the V10. It pulls it no problem and will maintain 70ish on the interstate in NC mostly on flat or...

Any performance numbers for this setup?

They show still in business and working on google. I will be moving close to them in the next months and expect to visit them to get my canvas refreshed.
