If you're trying to find the old chrome side scoops (2 on starboard, 2 on port side mounted) which worked in combination with 2 gunwale mounted clamshells, you're going to have a tough time. The Australian company that had the logos, I am sure someone will chime in with. I once found a restoration s...

First and foremost, don't tape to the hull if it's a painted hull. If it's a rope around the hull, pad where the ropes come anywhere near your hull or you'll find a scuff mark in the spring. Carefully done, it can be taped to the underside of your rub rail with no damage anywhere. I suspect you'll h...

Butterfish Hole. 165 from the point and you'll hit the furthest inshore finger at about 12-14 miles. When it drops to 180' you're at the start of it. 180 degrees puts you on the finger's western edge. Once you're in the 180 depth, anything can happen, although I have in the past hit Bluefin and even...

If you're a FBC ot Sportsfisherman I would guess you'd need more than 33 on the length. You want ventilation, but if a severe wind gets under it from bow or stern, it's going to really stress it out. If you have it rigged like Randall has on his 25, between two trees with a straight line between the...

Just shows you how little the guys who make the rules know about species they make rules about. AND that they reward foreign fishermen for breaking rules they put on the American fishing fleet.

Outdated handheld battery replacements/rebuilds
Most of us have run into discovering that our batteries on older handhelds are discontinued, or cost as much as a whole new handheld. I have a pair of Icom M-7's with all the accessories that I keep at home for weather etc. and after all these years, the batteries are no longer taking charges. There...

If it's milky, you've got water in it. Kevin is right, it's probably the oil cooler. Buy a new one, have the other done to keep as a spare. Removal is easy. Purchase end caps for the disconnected oil lines...makes the job a lot neater. Drain/pump out the old oil. Refill with your Tranny's specs. Per...

They did tell me that if I can find one, either Raytheon or Apelco couplers will work. Any chance any...
