Winter storage. Topic of full / empty tank comes up all the time. Was thinking the only way water must be able to get in the tank is thru the vent. Why not just put a bigger balloon over the vent? (ie; Parker Condom?) Be like inhaling & exhaling the same air without added humidity. Just a dumb...

Ha! That's where I went wrong. I have a black Lab named Magget. When traveling she gets excited and walks around and around the CC. Talk about troubles getting trimmed?

Ended up with a Michigan 15 pitch cupped aluminum for realatively cheap. Big difference. WOT is 5500 rpm @ 36 mph gps. Not much time to toy with trim. Probably close though. Definately much, much better all around. Thinking the cup may make it behave more like a 16 pitch? Gonna make a nice spare...

All I can say is I am totally "WOWed!" The difference between the built-in on location, and the Remote just a little higher is unbelievable!

I was a (New England) Commercial Dragger Fisherman when the 200 mile limit was imposed. For me it was a wake up call for the efficiency (lack of) & effectiveness of all governmental B.S. Since the saving grace of the 200 mile limit; Yellowtail flounder - all but gone whitting - still fishing 6"...

Remote antenna for Garmin's 540 GPS says to install at least 3 ft. from any radar / VHF antenna. Well my CC isn't that big, not much room for things of that nature. What happens if I install it close to the VHF? Will it blow up? Or just act strange when I key the mike or something? Glad I don't...

18 ft parker, 130 2 stroke, estimated 3000# avg. load, clean trailer hull. Presently have a SS 19 pitch (3 blade) rather sluggish comming out of the hole, top RPM 4900/5100. Most of my cruising is in the 3400/3700 RPM range (ugh), and seems to love the fuel a bit too much. Slow manuvering...

:D

Everything is overpriced :roll:

:shock: Kill the SOB now!!!!!! Again,,, U.S. Gov't is being traitor to the American people!!! Remember when the gov't was "for the people, by the people"? Meaning they were to act in the best interest of what was good for the American citizens (not the almighty dollar for the wealthy). Present...

Dawgdaze - Stonington Ct. :oops:

I bought a .44 mag and a 9 mil for backup. Can always make a buck of some sort,,, but keeping it may become an issue.

Oddly enough,,, More and more each day I fee the U.S. Gov't IS a foreign invasion on Americans

Not hi-lined on the news anymore, maybe Rhode Island (& notheast) are fairing worst than other areas,,, but the economy is still going down. Unemployment is at a record high. Buisnesses are folding almost everyday. People are becoming,,, lawless(?). Roberies, theift, shoplifting, fore closures...

Pretty much what I'm thinking and trying to say. I wouldn't think it worth shipping (for either of us),, don't really know, but I doubt it. No problem Skipper. Thank you.
