Looking for a portable grill and not necessarily a Magma or one that mounts on the gunwale or transom somewhere but rather one that I can take on the boat and grill at the beach or on shore upon arrival by boat. We often boat to a beach ground and leave the boat and set up on the sand.
Anyone...

Wondering what you guys do when treating the fuel for layup.
DO you follow the dosage reccommendations or add the whole bottle?
I always feel like the 2-3 oz isnt enough to treat my 40 gallon tank.
Then again...what do I know>?
I dump the whole bottle in
Yesterday when prepping the baot for storage I decided to delve deep into the engine compartment, grease the coupler and steering.
So while I was in a not so favorable position, I decided I would try to find the Cool Fuel unit......Well I couldn't.
I followed incoming water line and all that...
Was thinking of doing some mobile service to some boats in the area and providing some winterizing.

Hey guys...Well the season is upon us here in the Northeast and with a 7 month old in the crew now we have been thinking about a slip at our local river since it will be more convenient.
What are some things to consider?

2. Ideas for a "L" shaped wet bar or something...
