    Gas before or after storage

    My boat yard is off shore. They come to my marina, pick up the boat, load it onto their trailer at the public ramp, do the fall maintenance and shrink wrap it. They do not sell fuel. On their service contract they require the boat has at least 3/4 tank of fuel when they pick it up. They put the...

    Gas before or after storage

    My boatyard where the boat is stored requires at least 3/4 of a tank of gas when going into storage. I always top it off before it goes into storage. I do the same with my lawn tractor, i fill it up and put Stabil in it for the winter. A full tank of fuel prevents condensation from forming with...

    Running Cape May Inlet

    Great shot. Was this taken off a bridge or with a drone? I’m at Townsends Inlet and have a friend who just got a new drone. He is applying for his FAA license now so hopefully he can get some shots like this next year.

    More Rod Holders

    In the quest for added rod holders on my Fisherman 236 I came up with this idea. I did not want to drill any holes. My boat has the optional ski pylon. I bought a stainless three rod holder at West Marine for $93.00, some aluminum theatrical lighting clamps online and a small cutting board at my...

    Garmin Training

    I don’t know if Garmin has printed manuals available, but my Raymarine unit does. I ordered the paperback manual and it has been very helpful in learning the workings of the unit. Using the scroll through menu on the actual unit is very time consuming and hard. It is much easier to read it in...

    Bait station/ Rod holder

    I came across this photo of a bait station/ rod holder on a Fisherman 236: I am wondering if anyone is familiar with this product? Is it a flush mount on the fish box lid? Does it require rod holders, and therefore making the box non weatherproof? Will it hit the outboard when opening the fish...

    Clean your own boat? Try this.

    Magic Erasers. Combined with Spray Nine will remove scuff marks, mildew and just about anything else from upholstery and all other surfaces. Rinse with plenty of water though because Spray Nine will streak full strength and allowed to dry.

    Cost of Ownership Question

    On my Fisherman 236 in South Jersey, between dropping off in the spring at the marina, slip fees, insurance, picking up in the fall, complete maintenance, shrink wrap and prep in the spring it runs between $7000 to $8000 depending on any additional parts or service needed. This does NOT include...

    Anyone tried this? "Engine Flush System w/hose Attachment"

    I have the factory installed quick connect on my 2017 Fisherman 236 and I have two main issues with it. First it was installed under the starboard side gunnel. One must get on their hands and knees to make the coupling, which is much more inconvenient than just using the connection on the...

    NJ fishing reports

    Went out on first day of Fluke this past Saturday in the bay behind Avalon. Caught a few shorts, didn’t see anyone else knocking them dead either. Nice to be out on the water with the family and friends on the water, though.

    tips for a following sea on 265 express

    I agree with tilewave. Try to load the boat balanced and if too many passengers are on one side ask them to move. I rarely touch the trim tabs.

    A Grady evening on the Columbia River

    Boat gets splashed next Monday 5/3. Will be sitting on it that night having the first beer of the season and hopefully watching a sunset just like that one. Can’t wait, it was a long Winter.

    Battery replacement

    It seems to happen on either battery. I use the batteries with the date, #1 on odd days and #2 on even days.

    Battery replacement

    I have a 2017 Fisherman 236 that is my first boat, so bear with me. This will be the 5th season with this boat. Should I replace the batteries? I have had a problem with the electronics needing to re-boot when restarting the engine. In can be annoying when I lose the depth finder for a minute or...
