That certainly warms up what is normally a pretty stark cabin. Very nice craftmanship. What are you planning to replace the monkey fur with? Gary 89 Overnighter

Nem - it worked for me but I did not enter the PN, just copied the number. HMBJack - where will you mount the unit? Gary 89 Overnighter

SFC, this scenario makes a lot more sense. He called an exchange outside his local calling plan but within his area code. In truth, I didn't even think about initiating a call to a MJ and I apologize for the tone of my comments. I was assuming MJ to MJ. Apparently there are access numbers to...

Strike, would that style unit be strong enough to hold a rod while trolling and the additional strain of a strike? My first reaction to the design was it would be marginal even if you had a good sized plate behind the fiberglass. Gary 89 Overnighter

We haven't had a land line for the last seven years and probably won't ever have one again. We each have cell phones and wireless cards for our computers so our offices are totally mobile. The post stating that a neighbor got charged .45 a minute for using Magic jack just can't be true...

I'm in VA and just looked at the countmyfish website. Looks like it applies to us, too. I was hoping we were one of the coop states. Gary 89 Overnighter

What a difference a week makes. Saturday afternoon the temps in our area broke 60 degrees and there was little wind. Even tho' it was overcast, I couldn't resist dropping boat in the water and taking a ride. We were out about 2 hours and toward the end, it got pretty chilly but closing the...

I think you'll find that you have to soak the entire outrigger in order to break the corrosion bond. Soaking the joints won't do it, as you've found. Gary 89 Overnighter

Bob Coco, I have the 440S and have been using it for nearly 3 years. It's a great unit and perfect for my needs. It does have relatively poor screen resolution and the screen is small but it's very easy to use and very reliable. Gary 89 Overnighter

Virginia requires a salt water fishing license for a boat but it covers everyone on the boat and can also be used by the purchaser to fish from shore. I just check the VA web site and it says $38. a year (I cousd swear I paid forthy-something). VA also requres individual fishing licenses for...

I doubt you'd find a lift with cables too short but if you did, it wouldn't be that big a deal for your lift guy to recable it. Your post about high waves reminded me of another thing to consider. My neighbor has a permanent crease in his forehead from bumping his head on the frame of his...

Alibi, the wear pattern across the 3 sets of axles is telling you that the hitch on your tow vehicle is too high causing unequal weight distribution across the 3 axles. Your rear axle is loaded heaviest and causes the two axles ahead of it to absorb the scuffing in turns. In a properly leveled...

I'm in VA off the Chesapeake Bay and I've left my boat on my lift all winter for the last 2 years. It has had no obvious negative affect on my Eisenglass. I expect this winter to be harsher than the last two and plan to pull the boat and cover it. When I do, I will cover the entire boat...

Another thought occurred to me. Some lifts have the cable anchored directly to the cradle (direct lift) and others have the cable going through a pulley on the cradle and anchored back up on the frame (2 to 1 reduction). When you're lowering your boat and your cradle hits bottom, the cable...

Good advice. I had a 7k lift put in a few years ago which seemed plenty big at the time. Recently learned that my next boat weighs over 8k in the configuration I want so now have to deal with upgrading. Also, suggest you go with aluminum as opposed to galvanized. Gary 89 Overnighter

I carry a small squeegee in my cars and on the boat to get rid of morning dew and keep a few microfiber cloths handy to take care of lighter fogging. There are products out there that are supposed to prevent the condensation but I've never heard of any to work very well. The ideal solution...

I first started liking Grady's back in the late 70's but it was only 2 years ago that I got my first one, an 89 Overnighter. She may be an old lady now but she still looks pretty good. One of the things I like best is that no matter where I take her, no one snickers or makes snide remarks and...

SFC, I agree with you - I think it's going to be a bad winter and I'm in VA on the lower Chesapeake. I kept my boat on the lift last year but I'm planning to pull it out this winter and put it under cover. I didn't use the boat as much as I'd planned last year and if this year is worse...

Now I understand, Chris. Thanks. Gary 89 Ovewrnighter

Chris, This chart is a bit misleading. It is for batteries USED IN DEEP CYCLE APPLICATIONS. That why the starting battery life is so short. Gary 89 Overnighter
