There are a lot of options out there. Here is one for example...

A compass is a critical piece of safety gear.

If you have a trailer where the bunk supports as well as support parts are welded to the frame, most likely the trailer was custom for a specific boat. Often times these trailers have the boat manufacturers name on the trailer itself. If your trailer has welded supports it is not worth it to try...

I don't think the OP is talking about or planning on having the rigging tubes empty and he is not talking about the motor rigging tubes but rather the PVC bilge tubes. It would be a ton of work to remove all the cables that are in the rigging tubes. I think (but not 100% sure) he just wants to...

If you fish in strong currents, assuming a sandy bottom, you need at least a scope of 7x. That said, if you don't have sufficient chain, your anchor may never set well. In general, adding chain to a setup that had insufficient chain will work out better than just adding a heavier anchor. A...

The paint issue is different than the weight issue. What is the problem with the weight? If setting the anchor is the problem or getting the anchor to stay set, you may need a different style ( depends mostly on the sea bottom type) or you may need more chain which in a some ways is like a...

You should pull both at the same time but don't tie both cable ends at the same point. Tie the pull line to one end, put some tape on it to help smooth helps smooth out the end and then tie/tape the second cable end at a point about a foot below tape the first cable. That will make a smaller...

The spec for temp is 5 F to 131f . I assume that is the operating temperature range. The 'storage' range most likely is much wider.

If the old cables came out, the new ones should fit. Did you pull line ( small rope) through the rigging tube? Which end of the cables are you starting with?

Don't do the lightbulb thing. It's asking for trouble. Keep the batteries charged.

If you have both a PA and a NJ residence, one will be your primary. That probably would be PA and that is the state that you would register the boat. Same goes for a trailer if one is used. If you spend more than a set number of days in NJ and I think that number is like half a year, then NJ...

I suspect that there is more competition in FL than here in NYC. That can help keep prices down a bit. Good luck, let us know how things work out.

Price are very good at least with respect to prices in my area (NY) but be certain what you are getting. If your current bolsters use pleated vinyl, will the replacements also use the pleated? Will the same foam be used or something different. If you have welting, is that included in the...

That's useful info. Seven seasons is a good life span. On my sold 208. my lead acids would also get 7 seasons and after the first few years, stopped removing the batteries for the winter. I would make sure they were fully charger before layup and then disconnect the negatives. If the batteries...

How long do your agms last?

If I may add.. Scrub it first with soap and water, rinse and let dry. It is critical that the rail be dry before using the acetone and rags

Does that area spray all the time or only at certain tab settings? If I understand you correctly, the tabs rest in pockets. Something in that specific pocket could cause spray, for example growth on the pocket surface, a piece of debris caught on the tab or actuator, etc. Also look for dings or...

As has always been the recommendation for parallel battery banks, it is important that the same type, model and age batteries be paired together. Not only is the voltage of the batteries important but more so is the internal resistance/impedance of the batteries. That parameter can differ for...

Are you referring to actual trim tabs on the transom ot to trim anodes on the lower units, Also, are both making spray or just one.

Gee, what are we going to talk to death now:)
