Uglystik us great if you do not care too much about sensitivity. They are very durable thoygh so if you are rough on your gear,it would be a good option.

Ouch!!! Epinephrine us your friend. Are you allergic or was it just that you got stung so many times? Shoulda smiled at them.

You should not need to mess with jets. Now that the carbs were cleaned out nicely, run some more Seafoam through it. Do not rule out the fuel lines unless they were checked out properly. Do a search on iboats.com in the forums. There is a honda section. Onebof the gurus there may be able to steer you in the right direction. Once your carbs get drilled out, there is no going back.

Nice!!!!

Good riddance to them. I get a kick out of telling theur door to door salespeople to take a hike because of their lousy service. You are free of Ma Bell's clutches.

Sorry for your loss. It took me 11 years to get another dog. No more pain, no more suffering. For your dog to show pain, he is really suffering.

Great news Wayne!!! Good to hear that although it is hard on her, the new drug is kicking some butt in Jen's body.

Don't mess around, for under twenty bucks, you will have the right ball for your hitch setup. A lit if force is exerted on them. Have the right one and do not worry.

2nd eagle canvas.

Congrats!!!

3!!! Nice day thats for sure!!

Enjoy them!! Decent glasses for the money!!

You need a bigger shank on your ball. Princess auto is your friend. Sounds like the 1 inch. They are pretty cheap.

8x42 Lew. Spend the extra money on them. Makes a huge difference. I have a pair of the Bushnell marine 7x50 withe the compass. Great glasses for the money I paid. Binoculors are one if those things that you really do get what you paid for. An extrs few bucks now will not be spent stupidly.

Welcome!!

Definitely this year!!!

Lew, there was a bit of cracking but not a whole lot, the bulge in one of them was the deciding factor. They have been replaced. For their age they looked pretty good. If I was only using the trailer to drop the boat in and pull it out of ohr lake, they would have been fine, we launch off our beach. BUT, I am hoping to get some fishing in this year in a couple of new lakes, one of which has a lot of musky and little fishing pressure and would love to wet a line with a certain OFC member known for his great smile....just sayin'....

Willow does not burn very well. It does not put out much heat unfortunately. Ash, oak and maple are the best. Whenever you can scrounge some of those, then we are talking.

According to my tire guys who have never steered me wrong, most tires out there nowadays are pretty good to excellent, Chinese off brands are nothing to fear. They have more Michelins come back with problems than the off brands and they sell more off brands. As for trailer tires, Goodyear, Carlisle, Hercules, Kumho all make good rubber. Do not drive too fast, keep them properly inflated and shade them from the sun whenever you can and they will last years.

Lew, the bunks are not rotted at all, I have poked at them with a screw driver.the tires have a bit of dry rot but are not too bad. If my trailer has more than 10,000kms on it, I would be surprised. But I have to check the bolts securing the bunks. They are quite rusty but seem to be fine as it is surface rust that has not gone very deep. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day working on it but I want the capability to take the boat for a road trip at a moments notice. The bearings do not even get warm after an hour on the highway and there is no play so I am not messing with them too much. We should put together a checklist for trailer maintenance. There are lots of how to articles out there on doing the brakes, bearings, lighting, etc...

After splashing my boat a couple weeks ago, I figured it was time to tackle some maintenance on my boat trailer, lights checked out, one of the 14 year old Goodyear Marathons developed a bulge so new tires topped the list. Off they went. A couple squirts of marine grease into the bearing buddies, the brakes need adjusting, so I checked the fluid, full but a bit dirty so new fluid it will be along with bleeding and adjusting the drums and lubing the actuator. A new winch from Princess Auto was also put on. On a side note, I picked up new Carlisles $200 +tax installed for the pair from my tire guys here in Oakville. P215/75st/14. Smoking deal. Everywhere else they were at least $260+ installation. If anyone needs rubber, let me know. The bunks are getting old but still have a season or two left in them. Have I missed anything?? The bearings have no play either.

What about shiny fishing things?? Nicr ring!! When is Paul's hall pass??

Just fired mine up on the weekend to make sure it still works. Other than mantles, it has been trouble free for 25 years. Sooo much better than the propane ones now.

Wow. I hope she can grind through this Wayne. These bloody drugs wreak havoc. Hoping and praying for her recovery.

Nothing you can do but have them pulled off and the bead seating surface ground until it is nice and clean and then have bead sealer applied all the way around, if the leaks are bad, my tire guy recommends tub/tile silicone on the seat and then mount the tire. Messy but effective.
