It's a God send. Seems expensive for what it is, but worth every penny.
I'm guessing I should be in the lowest tier risk wise, as I am 46, have 30 years of provable experience and training (I operated a patrol boat for the sheriff's office for many years as a LEO), good...
Hello, I have a 1994 Stratos 201 Pro XL with a 2004 Mercury EFI. I estimate the boat (with updated electronics) is worth about $10,000 and the motor is worth about $5,000 (less than 300 hours and in...
My wife has been watching this YouTube channel, Adventures With Purpose where they use sonar to find missing people's cars in lakes and rivers. She has become very interested in sonar, and wants to...
Love mine, works great, seals tight, no leaks, expensive, and worth it.
I wanted a single console when I found mine, and it was too good to pass up. I planned for the first year or two to remove it, but the older I get the more I appreciate the dual console. I like it...
I have a 1994 201 ProXL which is the same hull, with a 200hp Mercury. I run a 24p Tempest plus at 2.75 below the pad with 8 inches of set back and a Chris Bailey hydrofoil. My hole-shot is...
Don't let them talk you out of it. If you want it, it can be done correctly, and if done right you won't lose any gas mileage (will have to regear to do it right). Most people who have problems...
Well, I know everyone is getting worse gas mileage, and it does make sense. However, this won't necessarily happen. My 2006 Silverado 4x4 came with 3.42 gears which are abismaly high. I was only...
I had to replace the floor of my Stratos around the floor drain, because the hole cut for the drain absorbed water and rotted. When I replaced the floor, I did not put a floor drain back in. The...
I have a Savage Model 12 and I hated the cheap plastic stock it came with. After living with it for 16 years, I decided to ditch the Tupperware and try to make my own wood stock. I laminated an Oak...

Bam! Problem solved.
As noted above, you are backing in too far. Good carpet should not tear if you are launching and loading right. When you back your trailer in, lubricate the bunks by backing up enough to get them...
Just remove a bolt and see. Even on a composite hull, you should remove all the bolts and reseal them with 3m 4200 every few years anyway.
I don't know if it was the VVM or the older model smart phone I use with it, but I quit using it because getting it to connect was frustrating. It is nice to have, however, because I can...
Post a picture, someone may recognize it and let you know. You could also test the resistance of a known 12 volt and known 24 volt then compare them to the resistance of the one you have.
I follow Lake Fork Guy, who has a Youtube chanel, and it seems he has had a lot of issues with his new 3.0 Duramax that his dealer can't fix. Computer keeps going into limp home mode, fans run full...
How do you wear out a trailer? I kept my old trailer when I upgraded boats and it's still as good as new at 30 years old (transom on my old boat was rotten, found a newer boat with a blown motor,...
I fold up a shop towel and place it between the transom saver and the lower unit. It protects the pain and I believe it lets you cinch the motor down a little tighter against the trailer.
Yep, same here. Quick easy and never had one break. Easy with two hands, but can be done with one hand and a foot and still work. :wink:
I bought a piece of angle aluminum from the hardware store, drilled holes in it every inch, then riveted it to the lid. A couple sets of shower curtain hooks at like $.99 hold the bags to the...
I have side imaging up front and use it far, far more than my unit at the helm. If I had livescope at the bow I would probably use it more, but can see where even with livescope SI would be helpful...
The Tin Horse Monty is a great chanel for tips and techniques that work on lakes in the Midwest. Lost of small 9.9 limit lakes are broke down (hence the name Tin Horse, he fishes ten horsepower...
Weed eaters are like trolling motors. They start and stop often, don't get used during the cold months, and need to be as light and quiet as possible in order to be practical. As such, who among...
My 2006 Silverado with the 5.3 has nearly 350,000 miles on the original engine and transmission, and I drive it long distances without worry all the time. Mine is a daily driver and dependable as...
