Stock plastic dive ladder mount gave way after several years of abuse. One of my dive buddies is a machinist and check this out these before and after pics..truly bombproof.

Mine also is at the lowest mounting point.

Raise her up and tell us. I will look at mine tomorrow and post my mounting height. My current combo rocks. Always looking to tweak it for the better-Mark

For anybody that has non-working set knobs. The ones that you can barely turn and the glass still slams shut in a chop. I fixed mine with a m7x1.0 tap in the knob and of course a m7x1.0 die on the post. Tight lines friends

2005 2320 w/f225 Been thru some wheels; stock yammie 17p actually good all around and best top end(42mph), load it down and it don't work good. Merc rev4 17p: feels like a sports car lightly loaded, forget it with any weight on board Merc big diameter 15 3/4'? 3 blade 15p..sluggish takeoff...

My 2320/f225 only turned 52-5300 wot with the 17 rev4 when heavily loaded so I only used it when fairly light and at that time it was pretty sporty. Normal day is lots of fuel, ice, and multiple divers plus the livewell. Since another engine(300 not a doubt) is out of the question does anyone...

Would like to replace 1 of my 2 LED white spreader lights with a red one to be wired to a separate switch. Striking out so far on google searches. Anybody seen one?

I have 1/2" brait w/ 25' 5/16 chain and if I did it all over I would have gone with a slightly larger diameter on the brait simply because it would be easier on the hands if no windlass is involved. You'll love how nicely the brait piles in the locker. Originally I used a Fortress FX-11 which...

Sorry Guys let me clarify. At first Eric told me that if I wished to fix it properly he would supply the glass and gelcoat etc. to me free of charge for my out of warranty hull. OR I could put some 5200 over the crack. The 5200 worked for me because it was an extremely narrow gap. I...

I was always worried about spoilage also. When they are brought up from 1500-2000' the flesh has a pretty good chill already. The fish below actually slid right in the fish box of a 21' Contender minus head, tail, fins, and gutted. Getting it out of the box was nearly impossible.

Mine did this also. I spoke to Eric at Parker and he said that this can happen if the hull flexes enough but not to worry-it does not signify any type of hull problem. He did recommend sealing it with 5200 at the least.

I had a crack develop in my cockpit sole. Contacted Eric at Parker who assured me that they have not had a stringer failure problem and that cracks in the nonskid can occur if the boat flexes enough. He was very helpful and even offered to ship me a glass repair kit gelcoat and all for free...

I also thought pontoon boats were useless. Then we had one for lobster season in the Keys one year. Lots of deck space, tons of shade, and low fuel burn. I would have one no question.

Capt Charlie Johnson and I got this sword on April Fools day 2012. Capt Charlie does this regularly with nothing more than a handheld GPS for electonics. Tommy(pictured on the right) is the creator of the fabulous Hooker Electric reel.

Bonefish Boats created these rodholders from the original Parker rocket launchers for kitefishing duty. I installed 2 15 degree and 2 30 degree swiveling rod holders in the gunnel so that we could use bent butt rods. The rod pictured is a very reasonable $179 Daiwa with a Shimano Talica II 20...
