    I was out at Humpty Sunday on another boat. Early morning we caught some squid and put them out. Got a 200ish hammerhead and a 3 ft blacktip. No tuna. ran to pots for mahi. Mud hole pots covered up in boats, no fish. Blew past them to Glory pots. Got a half dozen 2 to 4 lb mahi. They were...

    Need input on bottom paint please.

    no thats not right. He's been trailered or racked for all that time. now he wants to leave it in the water. It would be penny wise and pound foolish to bottom paint without a barrier coat.

    Need input on bottom paint please.

    You really need to do an epoxy barrier first. That prevents gelcoat blisters. Go on Pettit or interlux website to research that. After that any ablative copper bottom paint will do. Ablative will allow for pulling and launching multiple times. Idk if Michigan has restrictions on use of...

    My buddy went to Humpty the next morning. First drop of jig hit bottom cranked handle three times, he was on. Broke off after an hour. Sunday might be worth a try there. Big fish and we can't keep over 73"... but there are some keeper size in there.

    Need help identifying a switch (no longer work)

    Its probably a loose connector on the switches. Or a loose connector in the light/fan fixture. It looks like 2 rocker switches. Maybe its two push switches. Its not likely at all that both went bad at same time. Usually if a rocker goes bad it gets crunchy or it doesn't click into either...

    Need help identifying a switch (no longer work)

    I doubt it’s the switch. Before you try to replace the switch, pull the switches out jumper the wires and see if the light and fan go on.

    The this comes up over and over again. It probably should be a sticky. On iOS Photos it will be similar to this, but it may vary by iOS version You can get away with Large instead of Medium. You can turn off location and captions if you don't want to share that. If someone can post Android...

    Gas tank lid delamination repair

    My thought is that its generally better to remove the lid and repair from the bottom. That leaves the top "deck" gelcoat intact. All your work is hidden. You don't have to paint or re-gelcoat. If the deck side has already been painted then it doesn't matter.

    head odor and potential mod

    I think you've seen the threads linked below. There is nothing more inherently awful than a toilet on a small boat. I went 24 years without one and only once had to shittinabucket. My crew now requires a functioning head. So I went for it and fixed the pump and the freshwater so they can wash...

    You come from BI so you don't cross them. Go North from Princess into 180-200 ft and you will find miles of Glory pots to east and west They have small flags. They are close together and its hard to decide which pot to go to next. There is a slight gap and then they run NW in the Mudhole (west...

    Where is the Ground?

    My grady had all three grounds for Bilge pumps and Memory spliced to a single larger black wire with a ring terminal to to -12V of the house battery. This was even though the Fwd bilge and Memory +12V are fed from the "2" post of the battery switch.

    I'm hearing that the Virginia has Yellowfin. Also, according to ch 65, somewhere close like Mud hole there are big bluefin stretching lines out.
