The best way I can try to help you is to explain what happened with my boat. I had 440 Chryslers. If I went fishing with my son and went offshore to a set of numbers, fished (drifted) for several hours, returned and filled up, then did it again the next day with 5-6 big guys and all their stuff, to ...

Peter- In the days of big Tuna, I put in a pedestal mounted big Tournament chair. Yes it is big, and I'm not advocating that now, but I rarely go out or come back without someone sitting in it. It saves my ass with novices especially in rocky seas. Arms are a must or someone (especially kids) will g...

Peter- I suspect you won't know your needs yet as you generally discover them from lots of personal use. I have discovered the bridge rail rod holders are used for nothing else but rod storage. Usually rigged for immediate use. You will be a family of four, and logically when going out with pals, th...

Nothing in the May-June Fly fishing in Salt Waters either. John-I had two hip replacements in four months and I wish I had done them sooner. Obviously rehab is important, but from all I have heard, knees are tougher. Do whatever they say and don't rush things and you too will be glad you did it, as ...

I grew up with a hand manual one that my parents clamped to a table or chair whenever they used it, after which it could be completely disassembled for cleaning and washing. It's face had a set of pieces you could change for different degrees of chopped meat as well as 4-bladed cutters that could be...

In my opinion, if you fish, you will find it in the way and a pain in the ass. Even if you don't, it's one more thing to go wrong. Volvo parts are notoriously expensive and are quite often not in stock. The plus side might be that duoprops track straight and you won't have rudders. Not for me, though.

Federal Fisheries Permit
Need some advice. I have had a Federal Fisheries Permit since the day they came out. The permit is in the boat's name, so if I ever sell the boat, the new owner can renew it. I know, once you lose it, it's gone. I have never sold a fish with it and it comes with a fair amount of pain in the ass pape...

I find it so hard to believe that the Glendenning control systems have been having problems for so long and have not yet come up with some sort of "makes sense" solution. Scares the hell out of me and I think of the disaster I witnessed every time I bring my boat into my marina. What if either engin...

This may sound simplistic, but especially on the B-31, would you not be better off/safer with manual throttle and transmission controls? I have seen a 43 Viking clobber a few boats and a dock because of Glendennings that would not come out of gear coming into his slip. That was followed by a million...

Hydnautic reservoir pressure gauge
I just noticed that my 60 psi gauge on my Hydnautic reservoir was broken. I'm sure the marina mechanic broke it while repacking the rudder a foot or less from it, but I'm also sure they'll deny it. It's an easy piece to take out and replace, so if there's a quick source I can call for a replacement,...

Bow light bulbs
As part of my Spring prep I found my port bow light not working. In the process, thought it best to change both bulbs, clean/lube connections, etc. Nothing on the bulbs is readable other than to visually see they are two pole bayonnets. I have found 13.3 watt 1.04 amp and 18.4 watt 1.44 amp replacem...

I have a 64. My rudders have a straight forward side and a rounded stern side that is wider than the straight sided ones I have seen on other B-31's. I always troll for Bass on one engine with no problem. Coming in from offshore on one engine is doable as long as I keep it slow. No question, more ru...

All boats ran by sails for a long, long time. Their hull designers learned the hard way to create hulls for varying needs. The deep V is the power boat's version of a keel. I'm not surprised. I'm old enough to remember and have fished on boats before Bertram and Hunt, when boat hulls were flat or ro...
