    Just made some Kokanee Corn

    VHF radios

    I can see a handie if you are running a small boat. It will just have some limitations. What’s your intention with the radio? For emergencies only, monitor radio traffic or talk to someone in a boat or on shore?

    VHF radios

    I had a Standard Horizon mobile that I kept in the kayak life vest. Nice padded pocket made for mobile radios. The external mic connector broke in less than a year. So your mileage may vary by model and use case.

    VHF radios

    ICOM has been around the longest and they also sell radios to the government, police, fire, amateur radio, etc. I’d buy an ICOM over a Garmin, Lowrance, etc. First thing is to check if the lakes that you fish have someone monitoring the marine band. Then look into features that make sense...

    Need help2015 merc 60 40 four stroke jet with 56 hours.

    It looks like whomever originally assembled the trailer didn’t read the instructions. Perhaps the winch could be mounted where the pulley is currently located.
