I've got a 14' long wide hull and I'm carrying over my mantra from the canoe..."If I'm in the boat and it's on the water, my PFD is on...period."

Problem with McMaster is the shipping charges. They have one-way of shipping...Next Day Express. I had a $60 order set up...then backed out when the shipping charge was $40 more....ordered from Fastenal.

For full protection with the circuit breaker...Yes. <- doing home electrical for 35 years.

I know it's been a while - but here and there I've been working on the sub-floor frame. Got the main part of that finished and now I'm cutting and fitting Styrofoam preparatory to doing the pour-foam

Ya, i noticed the 'Both' Hooked that way, you'll run the batteries in parallel when switched to 'Both'...this isn't normally an issue as it just adds the current together. But to insure battery safety, you'd want both batteries to be the same. Otherwise, just a 1/2/off switch would work best...

Yep - that looks right far as I can see.

Do you want to have the accessories running at the same time you're running the TM from the 'backup' battery? If so - two cables from each of the 2nd battery's posts. One pair goes to the accessory fuse panel, the other to a standard 1/2/off selector switch Cables from the primary TM battery...

I found the service manual for the 2000 F50 - maybe it'll help https://www.manualslib.com/manual/909046/Yamaha-F50a.html

I'm doing my best - but suppressing the laughter is making me choke here, Jim. I've been using cargo straps for over 40 years...never had a problem.

Welcome - welcome I've got an early 70s Alumacraft that I've torn down and am rebuilding from the keel up. They're good, solid boats. Medicine Lake - not too far from me and a stone's throw from my parents in Golden Valley. Far as the paint - there's always Rust Oleum...

I still use the frame - but put jumpers in at joining points...like the front-section to rear-section of the current trailer

Any decent jigsaw with a metal cutting blade should suffice. Place I worked, we cut holes in .080 steel panels that way...aluminum should be a breeze.

For me it's #19

Don't even have a landline anymore...but that number became the wife's cell number...let her deal with all those calls.

I haven't watched broadcast or cable TV in years, so I haven't seen those ads. Suffice to say, I just keep the same Medicare plan I've had for the last 5 years...don't even have to do anything but say 'Yes' when they call me asking if I want to re-up.

Around here, Cub and Holiday have an agreement. For every $100 you spend at Cub, you get 10 cents/gallon off at Holiday. I don't drive much, so I've usually racked up a 30-40 cent discount by the time I need a fill again. And Holiday's pump-price is the same as all the other stations in the area.

In setting up wish-lists for the F-9 I have a question What length shaft should I get for a bow-mounted trolling motor. The plan is to have a small platform at gunwale height to mount it on, but I'm unsure as to how long it should be to insure proper depth of the prop. Anyone who's worked on...

There was a short hiatus while the wife was in the hospital...she's home now and I'm getting back to this. Main runs done and once I have the cross-braces in it'll be time to set up for the pour-foam.

Heck with Cali - when do they play Texas.
