Hey guys, I sold my boat last January because we just were not using it any more. It was kind of difficult to give up boating after 45 years, but, it was time to move on. I appreciate all of the help that I got on this website and wish you all well. If you get a chance, take a look at our new...

You have two bilge pumps, a low water pump and a high water pump. The low water bilge pump can be actuated either by the float switch on the pump or you can manually turn the pump on at the dash. The high water bilge pump, I believe is only actuated by the built in float switch. I don't know...

Also, with the sea cock open, all you have to do is take the boat out and run it a little. The water will flow thru the system. I keep my boat on a lift and it is a real pain to reach way down into the bilge to open and close the sea cock all the time. So, I just leave the sea cock open and...

You want someone, unknown to you, to use their truck to tow your boat from Pymatuning State Park, Pa to Sandusky, Ohio, a distance of about 130 miles and you want to reward them by adding "some" gas and washing their truck. You are a Prince!

Yeah, Cliff, I replaced my faucets several years ago. Hard to believe that you could just buy something off the shelf from a big box store. What were the engineers at Sea Ray thinking when they allowed us to do something that was easy and inexpensive. Maybe they didn't think that we would...

Lachine Rapids run west of Old Port

There are two locks on the Ottawa between Montreal and Ottawa. The first coming from Montreal is at Saint Anne de-Bellevue ( 45 25' 15.20"n; 73 57' 19.57"w) The second lock is at Carillon (45 22' 12.35"n; 74 22' 51.30"w) I don't know what size max boat those locks can handle as it has been...

I do the same, but, also pour a little pink into the sink drain because there is a loop in that line. ( I have never understood why there is a loop in that line ?????)

good luck to him.

I like the idea of a 55' Fleming! You have to wonder though because the article also said that the man sells lottery tickets. Did he really just find that ticket or did he do a scan of the ticket and tell a customer that it was a loser?

Above and beyond is right, he made a big mistake. There is no reasonable expectation that the true owner of the ticket can be found. Further, he had no obligation to even try to find the original owner. It was his ticket to keep and cash in for the prize money. He may still get lucky and end...

How do you dispose of bad gas?

Spotted an Eagle on the lake this morning. Couldn't get close enough to get a good shot.

Re: S My slip neighbor completed the install of his swim platform and he installed an air conditioning unit. They also re-did the interior upholstery last fall. He did all of the work himself which is pretty impressive. Link to dropbox: MOV Aug2013 070.MOV

Teeter - I put a TV in our boat along with the antenna, etc. Fact is that we hardly ever use it, except to occasionally watch a DVD. But, the TV sets with built in DVD players usually end up with a DVD player that craps out. Also, you need to know that some of the TV's are not ignition spark...

We are not using our boat much anymore. Wife does not want me out there hauling the beast up and down the highway to spend a month in Canada. I could insist, but, I would just end up with an unhappy wife – that is not fun. We did it seven times, so, I guess that is enough and it is time to...

Re: S Swimplatforms.com would be glad to relieve you of a couple of grand:

Use the "DC volt" function, not the "ohm" function. The "ohm" function reads resistance and will certainly blow a breaker if you try to measure voltage in the ohm position.
