Saw this on another site. I'm totally doing this if my wife gives me the green light. How fun would this be for a kid!?

I just brought home a new to me truck (Toyota Tacoma) that has a 7-prong outlet. My old truck just had the 4-wire flat connection, So I bought a plug adapter for the boat wires that converts it from 4-flat to a 7-prong plug. When I connect it to the truck, the only lights that work on the...

We brought our 9 month old out on my tin for the first time on Fathers Day yesterday. 8) He loves splashing in the bath tub and it was pretty hot, so I took along big plastic storage tub and filled it with a couple inches of water for him to splash around in while I was fishing. It also...

I had an Eagle Cuda portable fish finder that I used back and forth between my canoe and jon boat. Suction cup mount transducer, and it ran on AA batteries which I only had to replace once a year. I really liked it, but it was misplaced somehow this winter. :oops: Now I'm looking for one that...

Put my boat in the river for the first time this year last week. Everything went fine until I went to take my boat out and when I was strapping everything down to leave, I noticed that BOTH of my bearing buddies were missing and all the grease was pouring out. I know they were there when I left...

Wondering if you guys could help me on where to start with this problem. I have a 1983(?) 25 hp mercury that hadn't run in oh 20 years or so, until I dug it out of a basement and fired it up last year. All I did to it before I got it running was replace the impeller, spark plugs, and lower unit...

I hate that I know so little about motors, but I have maybe a stupid question. I'm trying to sell my 1973 9.5 hp johnson on craigslist, and a couple of guys have asked me if it has an alternator... I've been telling them I don't think so, but I guess I don't know! What is the answer?

Here is what I'm starting with. Several BPS gift cards to use up, so I want to do my shopping there. These are the seats I'm leaning towards, in green/gray My original thought is to install 3 of these mounts so I can move the middle seat up to the front if I want If I'm looking at...

Check out this old Johnson outboard commercial. Depending on your level of maturity, you may or may not find this hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxVH5sKUlPg

I know boats are meant to get wet, but I still don't like it. My new carpet and decking received its first exposure to the weather this weekend. I was out in a pretty good downpour Sunday afternoon (at least an inch of rain fell on me), but catching crappies like crazy, not to mention a bonus...

Has anyone mounted their rod holders on top of their ROUND gunwales? I can't figure out a way to make this solid. Idealy, I'd like to have mounts that can be moved easily and slid wherever I want them at the time, but I can't find any mounts that accomplish this. It seems like all the clamp-on...

Just a heads up to anyone fishing our southern border. https://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/robbing-112343-cartel-zapata.html

I just ordered an impeller replacement kit for my 1983 25 hp mercury that hasn't ran in 20+ years. How hard is this job exactly? I’ve read a couple posts on other forums that gave step by step instructions, but there are a few steps I didn’t understand. Is it something I just have to dive into...

Here is my old seal which was leaking grease (below), and a new one I picked up at the farm&fleet tonight (top). Is it OK that they are two different widths?

Does anyone have Action rod holders from Cabelas, and if so what do you think of them? The price seems good (two for $16.99), and I like the flush mounts. I was thinking about buying extra mounts and putting them all around the boat so I can just move the holders around when I need to...

Is it OK to run your boat with the tank sitting upright, as shown in this picture? I assumed it has to be laid down when in use, but if I can set it upright in back, this will change my plans.

Has anyone replaced their transom drain hole, and if so, what did you use? I found this on another site, but I'm not sure I want to get a screw driver out everytime I need to drain the boat.

I'm re-running all the wires in my boat to go under the floor, and hooking up a switch for the nav lights & an outlet to be mounted on the back of my bench seat, and thought I had better put in some fuses. This is prob. a stupid question, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Should the inline...

Good thing he didn't try to deck it out! https://www.theday.com/re.aspx?re=034fa364-551d-4886-a23f-6f6614c5f6f1

Sometime last week I lost one of the grease fittings out of my trailer hub. I don't know weather it was before or after I backed the trailer down into the river a couple times this weekend. Do I need to repack my bearings or something now? I assume the hub filled up with water with the grease...
