    Grillin

    I use the rod holder mount so I can swing it out off the boat and have it tilted a little back so of any grease comes out the bottom it's away from the boat. Also think about what your going to cook, you put 5 burgers on it you will get a flare up like your home grill. I keep a bottle of beer in...

    trailer for 265 express

    Living in the NE we have toll roads everywhere I would go with a tandem and up the axles to give me a 20% cushion. Also trailer tires are not all made equal. I have 10 trailers and I put nothing but the highest ply tires I can order for the size. They wear much better and blow outs have become...

    Left Ignition On

    Like it was said to have a piece of mind do a load check it's the only true way to test a battery. Hopefully a fried has one they are not cheap. If not pull them and any parts store can do it for you. All it takes is one bad cell.

    That's fun fishing Skunkboat. I got to the lobster claw just after daybreak, whales, two tones, turtles and not one bait ball. It was just me and one other boat. After trolling around for awhile he went farther offshore I didn't have enough fuel for that. I'm getting 1.3 with the Merc 250efi and...

    Mr funnel something to look into

    Found this last year and use it all the time, and doesn't take that much longer to fill the boat. When I first got it I used a electric fuel pump and hose to clean out the bottom of both tanks and got water and particles out. No waisted fuel just pumped it out of one threw the filter into the other.

    Shift and throttle cable

    You can try and use a tape measure to guess the length but most shops can have them the next day. When you pull the old ones out pull two-pull lines with them. When you pull back in stagger the ends and use just one line that way you have a spare for later.
