    Lowrance 3400 Connection Question

    I have a Lowrance 3400 that hasn't worked for a long time. I have a new 3500 that should use the same transducer, assuming the transducer is still functional. The 3500 has a gray connector on the back. The 3400 has no connector on the back of the unit: the heavy black wire comes out of the unit...

    Bolster Buddy

    One thing I don't like about my boat is that I can't stand up to drive unless I open the bimini. I really don't like sitting because I just can't get a good enough view out in front; I'm too low. So I'm always standing, Bimini folded. The other day I was googling and came across the bolster...

    Jimmie Walker Medicare Commercial

    I don't think in my entire life I've ever heard a commercial that irritated me as much as the one this douchebag does. I have to mute the TV or change the channel. He is totally obnoxious People I talk to are equally offended. I don't claim to be a marketing expert but wouldn't you try to make...

    Can't get my boat on plane

    1990 270 DA 7.4. When I first put in, around May 4, I had a long no wake area, followed by a short run on plane, to get to my dock. The boat got up on plane with no problem. About two weeks later, I put 50 gallons of gas in it and it struggled to plane, although it did, but i couldn't get over...

    Old Norcold Tek II

    My 90 270 has a Norcold Tek II that appears it could be original, although I'm not sure. It doesnt seem to be working although I havent messed with it too much. There is an on/off switch inside along with a thermostat dial but there is no refrigerator breaker on my AC panel nor is there a blank...

    Another major win for Tiger !

    Im not necessarily a Tiger fan, I root for Phil and Henrik Stenson. But I think history is going to mark Tiger as one of golf's legends and its pretty neat to see it happen, not just read about it like Bobby Jones and Sam Snead. I didnt get to watch Arnie or Jack in their prime and I sure wish I...

    Sacrificing your anchor to the depths

    Quite a few years ago, I was anchored in a side creek, maybe 15 to 20 feet deep. As always, I had a 13 pound tradional fluke anchor, 3/8 3 strand and a short piece of chain, maybe 10 feet. When it was time to leave, we couldn't get that anchor up for anything. Finally I had to use boat power...

    Big B Fender Hangers

    I just bought some 8 x 20 Big B fenders. Rather than just tying a knot to secure the line in the fender, I bought some of the Taylor doohinkies that fit over the line, then get inserted into the bottom of the fender. They really make a nice clean-looking installation, but I sure hope they dont...

    Making a grilling table

    Ive been thinking about cooking on board and definately want to add a grill at some point. I could buy a magma and throw it on there but got to thinking... I can get a stainless grill for a hundred bucks at lowes. Maybe I could make a king starboard shelf and mount it on the boat with a grill...

    One pound propane bottles

    I am probably going to want to add a grill to my boat at some point. I think I may even have an existing mount already on the starboard side. I understand the dangers of propane and collecting in the low areas, but what do you do with 1 pound bottles when youre not grilling? Store em in the...

    New to me '90 270 DA

    Hello all, I recently bought a 1990 270 Sundancer, with 690 hours on a 7.4. I was in the market for a boat after a long hiatus and I have always liked the styling of this model as far as the cockpit and cabin layouts. This one presented itself nearby so it found a new home. I had a new head...
