What's the best way to keep my 16' flatbottom from drifting in the wind with a bow and stern ancher. Do I point the bow into the wind, or ancher sidways to the wind?
Couple questions guys. When I charge my battery's, do I take the lids off? And what type of water do I use if they are low? And how long do I charge them? When I charge them the needle on my charger will reach 100% and keep going quit a ways past 100%. Should I stop at 100% or let them charge till the needle stops?
I need help with trailer lights. This is how my trailer is wired http://www.geocities.com/deererun97/trailerlights.jpg and I keep blowing the tail light 15amp fuse so I put in a 20amp. It blew so I put in a 25amp and it works but the lights are reel dim. Any suggestions?
I drive a 95 bronco 5.8L 351 and i'm with you C-ball. I don't want to no the MPG while towing.
But Master Hunter, if you go with a diesel, then check this artical out. It was in my local newspaper. http://www.qctimes.net/articles/2006/03/29/news/hometowns/doc442a226c1daa3335535731.txt
Thanks Ben. So, Sounds like I might have to get a new steering system when I get an outboard unless it happens to fit my steering cable. When I,m looking for an outboard, and the ad say's MERCURY, REMOTE, LONG, ELECTRIC. CONTROLS. What does "controls" & "remote" mean?
Hey guys. the capacity tag on the boat I bought says max hp is 35 for tiller steering or 75hp for counsel steering. Does this sound right? I don,t think this boat would be safe with a 75hp on it. The boat is 16' x 64" beam.
This might do the trick. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat21276&id=0023818016806a&navCount=1&podId=0023818&parentId=cat21380&navAction=push&catalogCode=IG&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat21380&hasJS=true I was thinking of getting one.
Kelly blue book only has personal watercraft pricing. But here is a web site for pricing any boat, and I mean any boat. http://www.nadaguides.com/ I just bought a 1977 polar craft 16" and did searches for it on the web and came up with vary little imformation and no pictures. So I was surprised when www.nadaguides.com not only found my 1977 polar craft but had every modol for every lenght made that year. 30 all together, 11 differnt 16 footers. Polar craft must have been a populer boat 30 years ago.
There are three blue books generally accepted in the U.S. and used by boat dealers, the NADA Marine Appraisal Guide, the BUC Used Price Guide, and the ABOS Marine Blue Book. You can find copies of them at marine insurance agents or banks that handle boat financing. They come in handy when buying and selling a boat.
My older brother had one of them boats. His buddy hooked him in the face while casting. HA ;D HA ;D HA. I know its not funny, but if you knew my brother you would be laughing too. Be careful out there!
