Tabman is a great guy and helped me out a great deal when adding Auto Tab control to my boat! He even commented on my installation favorably. He is in our prayers and thoughts!
I went through the calibration procedure this weekend on the Smartcraft and did the Trim calibration. Everything seemed to go well but when I took the boat out for a test, the trim guage was not in sync with the degree of trim. Basically I trimmed the boat out but the guage was still showing it...
What do those of you that boat on the CT river use for anodes? Aluminum or Magnesium? I have been using Aluminum but in talking with a dock worker at our marina, he said that I should be using Magnesium. I have always thought that the water at Deep River was considered brackish but he said it...
Zaino All-in-One is used just before using their polish. At least that is what you do on auto paint. It helps the polish to bond to the surface. Spray your application pad with Z6 and then put your polish on the pad. Makes it easier to apply. After polishing, hit it again with Z6. If you want to...
I used Rescue Tape to color code every 10'. It's been on for two seasons and no problem. I even wrote the exact footage on with a Sharpie and it's still visible. The nice thing as it won't get ripped off by the windlass like the interwoven tags can.

Just returned from Chicago myself. Had dinner at Harry Caray's Steak House on Thursday night. Great food and then took in a Blackhawk's game on Friday night. 5 rows up from the ice and just left of the goal. Gotta love the Ice Crew! Great time!
I try to buy American when it is the best value and meets my expectations. I have owned 4 American SUV's and currently have a GMC Denali. But I have not found an American made car that meets my expectations. I do like the Corvette but that would just be a toy. As for being the best sportscar...
Here is what I added to my boat this year. Great looking table at a decent price. Mine was a prototype that made it less expensive but the pricing he gave me for a production table was not excessive. Henry builds a great looking table as well! Very nice craftsmanship! I don't think I would use...
I brought my boat from Deep River up to Petzolds for the storm. Actually pulled the boat. It was back in the water today and I hope to bring it back down on Friday. Nice and slow of course! Hopefully neither of you had any damage.
I brought my boat up from Deep River on the friday before Hurricane Irene to Petzolds and they pulled it. Had hopes of going back in the water yesterday but went to check on the river level and it was way to high with alot of crap still coming down the river. Hopefully we will be in next...
Something at home since the boat was pulled and is on the hard. River is flooded at levels not seen since 1987, so there is no way it is going back in. Missed Memorial Day weekend because of crap weather now we are missing Labor Day weekend because the same. Guess it could be worse so no more...
I was in NYC with the family touring the USS Intrepid. I felt nothing. Didn't know about it until we were in a restaurant having a slice and saw it on the news.
It's coming in from the bimini mounts. Mine did the same thing last season. When I remove the mounts there was no sealant used. Just screwed into the fiberglass. I dried it out and blew all of the moisture out with a can of compressed air for cleaning electronics. Then I used sealant and...
