Stupidity and lack of knowledge of the damage they are doing to the water pump impeller.

Actually the older Ford IFS settings would change just by adding or subtracting the weight of a passenger in the cab on the other side. It gave a good ride quality, but was not usually tire wear friendly because it failed to always maintain the optimum settings due to the design. Talk to any...

That's great and we need to see much more of our manufacturing base for many products that have been sent offshore over the last 3-4 decades come back and be American made and provide decent paying American jobs again. Back in the 60's and 70's a person could finish high school and get a decent...

The hinge company does include a chart that list specific length restrictions to be installed in front of the hinge listed by the ball weight and total weight of the trailer for the different models of the hinge sold.

I am sure that the application and the total weight of what is being towed greatly affects whether the folding tongue option would be a reasonable option to consider. I have a small 14 ft aluminum mod v jon boat that fully loaded the weight including trailer will be well below a 2000 lb total...

The externally mounted "puck" that comes with the second generation blue tooth Terrova is not a "GPS" sensor but rather a "compass" that is used in conjunction with the auto pilot and the directional "jog" feature of the spot lock. Not sure as far as the first generation but the second...

One thing I have seen some seals that were purchased at "auto parts" types of store that although the seals fit and were the right diameter inside and outside were only single lip seals. A double lip seal is what you want as the inner lip works to keep the grease in and the outer lip works to...

I have one of the "2018" models of the Terrova models with the BT spot-lock and it is impressive and very accurate in its ability to maintain position. The first generation models were known for being lousy and back then I had a Motorguide with their version of spot-lock because it was better...

Depending on what you hit and how far under the surface you can damage anything under the surface including denting or tearing a hole in your hull. Also if you are running fast enough and hit something solid you can stop the boat like hitting a wall and even injure yourself or a passenger or...

I did some bunk upgrades on my trailer recently and used the vinyl post sleeves which is a bit thicker than the downspouts and which is a smooth finish and does not have the channels. Also available I believe in both 4x4" and 6x6" configurations which may work for those using a 2 x6" bunk...

Enjoy your new boat! =D>

Most times it is not the quality or lack of quality in the weld that actually breaks but it is the aluminum adjacent to the weld that actually cracks. I am no welding expert but do know that the heating of the metal during the welding process can change the properties of the metal and make it...

As I have stated I have owned both and one thing is in my experience the "pointy bow" when the wind gets up and it gets choppy and you have to head into the wind to get back to the ramp is you end up with a much drier ride over the same ride where a flat front is slapping the chop and as a...

I am in agreement the Mod V positives outweigh the negatives. Just like the pictures you posted the Mod V is placing the trolling motor to be deployed much more on the boats centerline than the flat front which to me is much more desirable. I also agree that extending the front deck back on the...

It can depend on the item being purchased in some limited cases. Not off of E-Bay but was ordering some fishing tackle items from a small custom maker/vendor located in a different state. When I went to checkout I noticed I was being taxed on my purchase. Since I was in a different state I...
