That kind of stuff doesn't slow my sled down at all Drew. As long as my right thumb still works.
First time I got into deep slush with my Venture I couldn't figure out why it was feeling weird until I looked behind me to see a river of slush 2 feet deep!!!
Pinned the throttle and.........................SEE YA!!!!
I have carpet and it's OK but is a dog hair magnet.
I have the feeling fish slime and snow would make vinyl pretty slippery.
I think the next time I redo my boat I'll use checker plate aluminum.
It would be very easy on my boat as all the flooring is carpet covered 1/8" aluminium sheet.
I would just need to trace out the pieces and cut them and re-install.
A lot of West coast boats are all checker plate aluminium decking.
I replaced the front unit bearings on my Honda Pilot last winter.
Man what an awful job that was.
The bearing is pressed into the steering knuckle and then the hub is pressed into the bearing.
Had a local shop press the bearings and they even had a heck of a time with it.
GM's are way easier.
Did the ball joints @ the same time so I wouldn't have to pull things apart again.
In my opinion I would start with the wiring and then have the starter checked.
It could be weak and in the winter it may need more power in order to get it to work.
I know with my vehicle and every vehicle I have owned that the car turns over much slower in the winter as the battery can not produce as much energy.
Living in the far North I have a block heater and a battery blanket.
The battery blanket warms the battery warm when plugged in.
My vehicle starts like it's 70* out when it is plugged in even @ -40.
A plane made an emergency landing on one of the lakes around here today.
I guess if there's enough ice to support a Cessna Caravan I can take my sled out.

Here's a great bunch of pics from Buffalo.
I especially like the fifth from the bottom. The guy digging out his car.
That looks like fun.

This happens with a lot of boats.
You most likely have have a tank that runs front to back and not side to side.
Because of this when running the fuel runs to the rear of the tank and shows full but at trolling speed or stopped it shows the correct level.
It is pretty normal as it seems most manufacturers run their tanks lengthwise.
Not going to give them the satisfaction of a page hit.
There are a lot of morons that think wolves and coyotes should be eradicated.
I'm not one of them.
Tent shredding bears, well that's another story!!!
