    Mercathode...

    I'm trying to crank my boat for the first time this season. I've been super busy with baseball and running around that I thought we'd give it a spin on the 4th. We didn't.... I have a charged battery, a starter with no problems and I still can't get the boat to crank. I keep getting a...

    Any other Mid-Staters have a rainy 4th of July?

    It poured down all day Saturday and now it's raining again this morning. It's probably dropped at least 2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours around here. It rained at Lake Barkley on us, so we decided to go home last night and maybe get on the Ohio River, but it's still raining. What is the...

    My brother and his used boat...

    My little brother just purchased his first boat. It's a 1988 Sea Ray 18' bowrider. It's got a 350 Magnum that's fairly new, been in the boat since 2004. The guy he bought it from did little regular maintenance besides winterizing and changing the oil (I'm not sure how much he did of that...

    Battery loses charge on 350 Magnum quickly...

    KY Boating...

    Any KY or Lake Barkley boaters here? It's my favorite place to go boating. I spend many weekends on Lake Barkley. Put in at Buzzard Rock Marina and always have a great time. I also do some boating on the Ohio and Green Rivers in Henderson and Webster County.

    KY Boater Here...

    Just found the website... Have been a boat owner for three years now. I love it. Bought an older 197 Seville with 350 Magnum in it. It's a very dependable boat and it provides the fun my family wants from the water. We spend most of our weekends in the summer on Lake Barkley. A great place...

    '84 Bowrider-No Reverse

    Had the boat out for the first time this summer, last weekend. Boat fired up like usual, put it in the water and boat would go forward, as usual. After putting boat in forward, I can't go back to neutral or reverse. I can move the control back to neutral position, but boat will continue to...
