Yes, but if you are fishing under a permit you are exempted from having to register on the federal registry. Go here and answer the questions: https://www.countmyfish.noaa.gov/

Do you have any pics of the trailer? You might try a low profile roller to protect the axle until the boat is safely on the bunks.

I've purchased two covers from them (different boats). They were well made and fit to a T.

It depends on how handy you are and how much spare time you have. If you have to hire the work out, you'd probably be better off looking for a boat in better shape. If you have the time, talent and patience, plan on LOTS of hard work. It's slow and boring work and the only enjoyment you'll...

For the Palm Beach area:

But we pay it in other ways; home insurance, auto insurance, sales tax, property tax.........

I don't believe your gas would have soured over 3 months. If it had ethanol, it's possible the gas separated and you got a healthy slug of water. I'd say fill the tanks and add a conditioner. I can't imagine pumping hundreds of gallons out each season.

Brian: How do you fill the tanks from deck level?

Not sure how you're piped up. In my Marlin, water for the head came off the pressurized fresh water system. Therefore, the pump had to be running to get water to the head. If yours is a raw water feed, you might start at the strainer. If its clear, pull the hose off the top of the seacock...

I found that in the warm FL waters around 18 months was the correct interval for a touch up.

Low voltage shutdown? Idling, you may not have had a good charge.

Hi Don. Yea, doing well and getting ready for a few weeks in Alaska. We're taking a small boat cruise up the Inside Passage and then to Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks. I suppose it'll be a little cooler up there. The Ranger has made tracks all over Florida and regularly gets bloodied up...

Hi Don, hope everything is well. You got the battery setup correct. You have 2 banks of Interstate GP27M - SRM-27B Combination Deep Cycle/Starting batteries (upgraded from the GP24's that originally came with the boat).

Just to clarify: 1. Single motor? 2. how recent was the battery upgrade? Batteries at the dock 2.6-2.2???? do you nean 12.6 degrading to 12.2? A few thoughts: 13.0 is low at mid to high throttle, I would expect something greater than 13.5. How long are your runs at med-high speed? Are...

Hopefully, cleaning the strainer cured your issue. If it happens again with a clean strainer, you may have a coil that is freezing up. One of the programmable features of that AC is a setting that tells the unit to go to heat (defrost) mode on a frequency that you can program in. Check...

If it's exiting the valve, it's got to be a bad valve or installed backwards (upside down). Even if the waterway is blocked downstream, the pressure should hold the valve closed.

Check the reed valve for dirt or sticking. You say the water is coming out of the siphon break - meaning out the reed valve? or elsewhere. If elsewhere, you have a loose or damaged hose, or perhaps a cracked break.

Sounds like you may have an obstruction in your drain. Sometimes old baits get flushed down and plug it up. Use a hose and some pressure to flush it out. You are latching the lid shut?

T: You're right. Vacationing in that area is great. I owned property in Ocean Isle Beach and we spent many summers there. Good boating and fishing, great for the kids.

Could be an airlock on the raw water. Could be freeze damage all around.
