    Best Method of Sanding Aluminum?

    It depends on how aggressive you are with them and what grit you are using for the job. If you are using a lighter touch, they will last for a while. If you are really digging hard, they will not last as long. It also depends on how fast you are spinning them. A slower speed will make them last...

    I caught a largemouth bass one time about 5 inches long on a swimbait about 5 inches long. There is no way he could swallow that.

    Bottom Painting Aluminum Boats

    If the old paint was scraped off during the previous years of use, you could paint over it. Now, if the old paint flaked off, you want to remove it. If it flaked off the new paint will come off as the old paint flakes off. You want the new paint to have a good foundation, whether it be old paint...

    Margerie Glacier

    Cool! Alaska is on my bucket list. I have been to all lower 48 states during my time as an over the road trucker from 1983-2001. I went to Hawaii in 2019, so Alaska is my last one on the list. I want to take the train (Alaska Railroad) from Anchorage to Fairbanks.

    Fishing License

    Yes, California has some great outdoor getaways. Same goes for New York state. Once you get away from the big cities it is gorgeous in places. The problem is when people think of California or New York, they think of the cities.

    What brand is this thing?

    After a short research, it may be a Montgomery Ward Sea King. That may be the K in King and the G is upside down looking like a 6. The I and N are missing.

    What brand is this thing?

    The first thing I thought was the emblem looked like an M over a W. Maybe, a Montgomery Ward. Just a guess.

    Guide for wiring boat

    The pliers I use to crimp connectors and terminals have a round side on one jaw and a nib on the other jaw. When I crimp, I make sure the seam in the connector is on the round side of the tool even if it is an insulated connector. That way the nib will not crush one half of the connector down...

    Worms Anyone?

    Down where I am from, live worms work very well for the fish you mention. Panfish love live worms and live crickets. The smaller catfish under 1 pound will take worms very well also. Larger catfish here up to about 20 pounds prefer chicken livers, gizzards and hearts more. Catfish over 20 pounds...

    Check Engine Light

    I have included a picture from Google Maps on where the traffic light sensor is that sets off the code. It is highlighted in yellow. This is the only place that the CEL will come on. If I am in the left lane, it will not come on.
