Pretty sure the Sea Ray insurance would cover the damage regardless of a crime conviction or charge.

Those look really cool. I could easily fit a pair of them on top of my dinghy davits. Hmmmmm... Thanks for sharing.

1500 hours is pretty easy to achieve on an outboard if maintained well. If you prop it for max RPM at WOT with a typical load on the boat, and then run it at or below 75% max RPM, it can last way...

The plastic pulleys are usually bonded to the bearings and though the bearings can be pressed out and new ones pressed in, I would not trust them to stay together. If either pulley is metal (not...

I strongly urge you to replace the tensioner pulley and idler pulley while you have the belt off. You can use generic parts from an auto parts store. I also recommend that you keep the old belt and...

Always loved that place, it's beautiful.

There's a similar structure called the Boldt Yacht House in Alexandria Bay, NY/1000 Islands (an easy and pretty 7ish hour drive from Winni) that's still in...

Mantus makes a great product. We have one of their swivels and one of their snubber chain hooks. We run a 73# Rocna Vulcan that's very similar to a Mantus M2 and we love it. We've spent at least 180...

I register my documented boat in NH, but I only put the stickers on, no bow numbers/letters. I'm not 100% certain I even need to register it in any state, but I do, just in case. I've been boarded by...

Shift interrupt switch could be the issue, and certainly worth a test (just activate the switch manually and see if the engine stops), but there are some adjustments that could also be off. The...

I'd be reluctant to use it. Try to find an OEM gimbal bearing that can be greased, those permanently-lubed bearings are not as good, IMO.

Navionics works great on an ipad, as long as it is GPS capable. The only ipads that are GPS capable have wifi+celllular capability. The wifi-only units do not do GPS.

Those Axopar-style boats have become hugely popular in mid-coast Maine. Pretty neat looking and I often see them moving along a good clip in rough water, so I'm guessing they ride nicely. Can't help...

I'm sure. It's a shame they changed the NH headway speed definition from 6 MPH to as slow as you can possibly go. A 5 MPH speed limit would be ideal in there, IMO. Slow enough to keep wakes tiny, but...

A bigger NWZ there (not all the way to FL1, but maybe another 800 feet north to extend the NWZ past the public docks) actually makes more sense than the absurdly over-sized NWZ in Meredith, IMO.

I saw that tied up when I docked for a stop at Shibley's on Sunday. Cool boat! I was in center console with a Yamaha outboard. Can't recall the brand of the boat.
