Electrical problems are always hard to diagnose over the phone / internet etc. But my best guess would be conection issuses with the battery you replaced. Since circuit works on shore power, I'm guessing it is getting power from Batt charger/inverter and not the battery. So maybe charger wire got le...

Always a bad feeling when you look out on the decoy spread and see them laying on their side.... hi and dry.

Andre, Roger that on the 500lb gorilla..... The only thing funner then watching people at the boat ramp on Memorial Day weekend is seeing someone operate a Go Devil for the 1st time... We used to spend hours with a pipe wrench bending the hyrofoil just right so the prop wouldn't dig too deep or try ...

Hot sellers for duck hunters and marsh rats in my area.... They have a choice between power trim and mechanical trim (worm drive).

It's replacing all the Go Devils... but twice the $$$$

These guys have a NY location and publish their prices for comparison. http://www.advantagelumber.com/decking2.htm I've only bought ipe plugs from them (cheaper then cutting my own) What kind of fastening system are you going to use?

I've pulled both my B28 and B31 using a ramp many times with no issues. Well no prop or clearance issues anyway. My trailer winch stripped and came around and broke my wrist last summer... but that was my own fault for the way I had it rigged. I guess it would also matter how high the bunks are. Min...

Roger that!!!

I had the great opportunity of buying drinks for a couple of Marines last night to toast the Corps birthday... and I just got back from a Veterans Day progam put on by my sons school. They did a fantastic job of honoring all our local Veterans.

Daniel Moore, an artist nationally known for capturing great moments in sports history, particularly Bama football, has done a painting to immortalize the 2011 Bama LSU game. I am amazed at how quickly he was able to get this done! http://www.wmi.org/messageboard_pictures/newboard/336923.jpg

A serious, unbiased and realistic look at how LSU and Alabama match up Quarterback - LSU has Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson, Alabama has AJ McCarron. Lee is smarter than McCarron and better looking. Jefferson is stronger and while he should not have been in a bar fight, much overlooked is the fact...

Marshall,

I used Wartsila Automation in N.O. for my turbos... (volvo) They came highly recommended by the Cannon brothers down here in Houma. I also got a great price IMO.

UV, I think a grand is a fair price to change your filter..... how else do you expect MB to pay for those new lights and signs on the Superdome??? Just yanking your chain...... heading out the door to geaux vote. But just like your cabin filters.... it's all about the learning curve.... the next tim...

I guess different areas... different rules. I have an account, but I can also register online and have them drop ship without an account. For the most part Graingers prices are high... Catalog price is actual price... volume discounts are listed. Same deal for all buyers I think. But they got a grea...

RAWicklund

I ordered one this morning from grainger # 2PAT7 for $23 plus tax. They had some non resettable ones on clearance for twenty bucks.

Ray

RAWicklund

I'm the king of cheap and $70 was just my starting point.

I have a Donavan account, but the 2006 catalog I have at home doesn't have them.

20 bucks @ grainger for a counter is hard to beat.

Ray

RAWicklund

Bilge pump counter????? Never heard of it.... so I googled it.... 70 bucks at West.

Great idea.... I'm putting one in.

Thanks

I've used hand flaring tools for SS.... company supplied so I don't know cost but I assume they are expensive. They work with an eccentric guide as compared to a concentric guide solid cone used with a standard 45 SAE flare tool. Even if I had the tool available I would go with swagelok as suggested...

Suspend SC is my weapon of choice for spiders. It comes in a concentrated liquid form and it also leaves a residual poison.... maybe the same one as Cynoff, not sure. I get it from the feed store for about 20% off of what the DIY pest stores charge. Never sprayed the Sunbrella top directly. Just und...

Exactly whay Mikey said...."don't go cheap" Kinda like buying a used outboard or a used computer.... there are success stories out there.. but not many. Best brands IMO are Manitowoc or Hoshizaki. If you can't do your own work, as little as 2 service calls will pay for a new machine. I replaced a wa...

Great catch guys. I was at Calypso Joes sipping margaritas 2 weeks ago just 50' from where your pics were taken.
They got a lot of nice Bertrams in the marina.... but no 31's

Ditto on the hatch clearance/ tolerance issue. I have a shade under 1" thick bulkheads. .950" +- I have some 1/2" (12MM) CoreCell that I got at a clearance sale, that I wanted to use. But if I laminate 2 sheets togather I'm too wide... and I dont feel 12MM on it's own is strong enough. It worked gre...

Dick and IRguy, What you describe (3/4" ply sandwiched with laminate) is what I have and plan on going back with. The plywood has some rot and is delaminating ///swelling and screws have pulled out.

I'm replacing the bulkhead just fwd of the engines on my B28 and looking for a simple material to use.

I plan on going back with the white laminate but will probably paint the interi...
