    Livewell operation

    Thanks for the advice. My initial concerns were wear on pump and oveflow cylinder getting clogged. Does not look like a huge issue when needed in a pinch, but I like the idea of building a pen or PVC holding net if this will be a consistent need.

    1st canvas cleaning of season

    Boat Flags

    Guys, Thanks. I will invest in a dedicated flag post for the center of my t-Top rod Holders.

Do you take it down or keep on your boat...

    Boat Flags

    Just bought my first flag to fly on outrigger. Which outrigger port or starboard is the appropriate one to fly the stars and stirpes? I would assume the port so others in front of the boat would see it on my right side.

    Tuna Man Thanks, I called my GW dealer and they said the same thing that there is an inverter behind the wall insert. Now the only problem is to try to remove the insert which is basically a half wall, but the screws have bolts in the back and it is very difficult to reach the bolts to hold...
