If so, what is it? Thanks

When trying to view pics on some of the posted threads, there sometimes appears a small white box with a red x inside it instead of the pic. From the replies, it appears that others are able to view the pic. Clicking on the box yields no results. Any thoughts/suggestions?

With the trophy striper season about to begin in Maryland, can anyone tell me where I might target them near the Kent Island (Narrows) area. Also what marina should I launch from? Further, does anyone know where there is a marina in that area that I can store my boat and trailer? Thanks.

I just happened across an article in the february 2010 issue of Woods and Water (Page 39) and read about this registry. Someone tell me that I am misunderstanding what I just read. A government registry that will cost each and every saltwater angler about $25.00 beginning in 2011. Is this...

My 2002 150 hp Johnson 2 cycle outboard recommends using a HD25 oil. As an alternate, they recommend an NMMA TC-W3 oil. As the HD25 oil is hard to find in the Richmond area, along with the fact that it costs $ 25-$35 a gallon I am considering using the TC-W3. Johnson/Evinrude, Quicksilver...

Please share with me the differences between a 4 stroke motor and a 2 stroke in the 150-200 hp outboard range. Issues such as fuel economy, overall maintenance, cost, reliability, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Should I powder coat my T-Top or not? Boat is used primarily in salt water environment. T-top is pitted and has lost its luster. No commercial products have brought the shine back to life. I've tried them all.

Last Friday while on a fishing trip a continuous, ear-piercing alarm came on shortly after being under way. The alarm is located very close to the ignition switch under my console. The alarm stayed on constantly when the motor was running. Everything was working properly; motor was not...

I am considering getting a membership through SeaTow. My local fishing grounds range from the mouth of the Potomac in the Chesapeake Bay to the mouth of the York River down to the CBBT and off Virginia Beach. How is the service in these areas? Anyone have experiences with SeaTow in these...

Thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions/comments on my recent water issue. Spent all day yesterday on the water and upon loading and pulling the plug no water exited the bilge. Apparently, the water issue I experienced the previous time out was due to the forward bilge water being trapped...

I would appreciate suggestions on solving a water problem: Have a 1984 204 Fisherman cc. Keep it on a trailer. The following is the series of events that occured last week: Before launching, positioned boat on steepest part of ramp to drain any rain water. No water flowed out of bilge...

Does anyone know where I can get one or have one made?

Has anyone experienced this problem with a Garmin 160c? Shortly after reaching cruising speed the disply screen malfunctions. The only way to resolve the problem is to turn the unit off, stop the boat, and then turn the unit back on. When I return to cruising speed the same issue occurs...
