    Almost unhooked the truck from the trailer before I moved the truck.

    Got back from a day at the lake. Parked the trailer. Unhooked everything except missed the emergency brake lock cable. Moved the truck and when the cable became taunt it pulled out from the coupler and there was a retaining washer that gave way. It must have been there to stop accidental...

    Nagging little problem

    I think I know what I need to do but thought I would ask here first. Is there an easy way to tighten up the pop rivet on the turn button latch that secures the pass-through windshield? The pass-through windshield has two turn buttons that secure the window section closed. One is tight and...

    Caulk Choice

    What's the caulk preference for mounting smart tabs on the transom? 5200 too permanent? 4200? Life Seal? I could over drill, fill with epoxy and drill pilot holes in the epoxy but is this overkill? What advice can you give me? Thanks.

    Replacement Bilge Blower recommendation

    My Attwood Turbo 4000 blower started to sound like it was delivering kittens this last week. Time for a replacement. I probably run it more that I need to. I use it before starting and leave it on as long as I'm running off plane. Once I start going faster I sometimes remember to turn it...

    I probably should be mad but I'm not

    I took my boat to Skipper Bud's in Volo, IL last week to fix a nagging problem. Skipper Bud's originally thought it was the exhaust flapper but found out it was the exhaust manifold gasket that was leaking and creating an ever increasing tapping noise. Since they had repaired that same gasket...

    Swim ladder extension

    There is thread going with a swim ladder mod. I didn’t want to hijack it so I’m starting my own. Another member was asking about a swim ladder extension and this is what I wrote: Mocracy said: ↑ I keep wanting to add an additional rung at the bottom of the ladder somehow. It'd have to be...

    Parking your boat and trailer on a down hill slope.

    My trailer has surge brakes on one of the two axles. My buddy gets use of a lake house from time to time. They invite the admiral and me to join them. Maybe because I have the boat?? Anyway, the house is on a steep down hill street. What's the best method for parking? I know to turn the wheel...

    Fibernew Upholstery repair.

    Has anybody used these guys to fix your seats? Fibrenew seems to be a local franchise. Short version is that my regular boat shop damaged my motor hatch cover during a small repair job. They agreed to pay to fix the damage without any questions. The puncture is on the bottom of the pad so...

    Clarion MW1 remote transom location

    I'm thinking about adding a Clarion MW1 wired remote to the transom of my 2009 205 sport. Has anyone done this? I'd like to know what location you selected. Pics would be great. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Need some advise on Prop selection

    I'm kind of new here. Picked up a very low hour 2009 205 Sport late last summer. I've been lurking around the site and can't believe how much I have learned. Been a boat owner since 1988 but now I realize how much more there is for me to learn. I upgraded the stereo to a Clarion 505 with...

    Low voltage protection system

    I have a 205 Sport with a single battery. I'm always worried about running the battery down while listening to music while on the hook. I was planning on adding a second battery this spring until I saw the article in the January 2016 Boating magazine on installing a low voltage protection...
