    Portable ice maker

    Bought one last season. It sits next to my round table cooler. Works great. but on hot days will not keep up with the cooler. have to buy a bag of ice to start out the cooler. and then you can maintain it with whats made. its a great thing to have. And now that i have it. wont be without it.

    Cut Through Transducer Cable - How Do I Splice It

    Soldering would be best. Use shrink wrap to seal it though. butt connectors could cause a resistance that you dont want.

    New Canvas tips or suggestions

    I custom made all new canvas for my 87 340 sundancer myself. I raised the bimini up and forward so that i could stand at the helm. used sunbrella canvas and at the time good V92 thread. I had over 300 hrs of work put into it. each panel was custom made. Did it through the winter last year. I did...

    erratic voltage, bogs motor

    Yea, doesn't make sense with only one alternator. because one charges the house batts. and the other the start batts. if there is only one alt. then the only other thing that is producing voltage is the coil. a bad coil can do all sorts of things. but ive never heard of one sending voltage...

    erratic voltage, bogs motor

    Sounds like you have a loose ground. check and clean all the cables from batteries to the engine. also check the plug on the engine where the harness plugs in. I had a Bayliner that the harness plug was loose and that caused all kinds of different problems including voltage spikes.

    thru hull adhesive

    I just installed a new through hull transducer. The yard man told me to use 4200. was a good choice. getting out the old one was a bit of a chore. but not to bad. Just used a nice sharp flat chisel and tap around the flange. then cut the whole flange off with a flat saw. then tap with a hammer...

    Lake St Clair to Petoskey.

    Going through this thread, i noticed nobody has mentioned Port Sanilac. and yes I've been to Harbor Beach. and we love Port Austin and turnip rock. But Port Sanilac has some great activities scheduled for the summer. Like the Antique Boat Show, And Blues Festival, And Music in the Park. It's a...
