The port rod box on my V was loose at the bottom, the plastic had broken where the screws held it. It vibrated and shook and was generally no good. Last week when I went to the coast for a couple of days I installed my "new" depthfinder. I had to take out the port rod box to run the wires. I...

Who has em and what kind? I just got a Dell laptop and I am thinking about wireless for it so I can stay on the board 24/7. I know Sprint has service for around $30 a month and it works anywhere a cell phone does. I am fairly computer illiterate so use small words please.

Last Thursday the kids got out of school at 1230.  I picked them up and we drove through Micky D's and Taco Bell, then went to the park next to Deep River for a little "beginning of summer" picnic. The park is about a 1/4 mile down the street from the house and the walking trail to get there is...

I recently bought myself an MP3 player. I transfered one CD to it but the info that the MP3 player looks for to display such things as song title and artist are not embedded on most of my old CD's. Is there a way to put this info onto the MP3 player? The problem is that the MP3 player calls...

My buddy showed me this. It looks like an I/O but it is an outboard completely shrouded. I had never seen one like it. (scroll down the ad for pic) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-Sunbird-190-Eurosport-SS-Bowrider-No-Reserve_W0QQitemZ130119597950QQihZ003QQcategoryZ63686QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My floor drains were not draining well with the check valves I had put in so I was going to try another configuration with them to see if they would work better.   When I took the starboard hose loose from the boat side, the elbow in the floor, broke. I know people have had this happen before...

Well, we went out Saturday afternoon about 4 miles in hopes of getting enough Black Sea Bass for dinner. I could see them all over the bottom in the spots that always produce, but they had lockjaw. Joey caught 2 Sand Sharks which gave him a big thrill, we kept one for dinner and it was...

I have been steady packing up all the stuff and making lists so I don't forget anything in preparation for the upcomming holiday weekend beach trip. It will be a busy weekend, I have to install my CVS-106, my new prop, the backing plate for the bow eye, the old loran (if time allows). Plus my...

You I/O guys can get one of these 600 HP Mercruisers to freshen up your V-20, I'd get the 5 blade prop as well. Us O/B boys will have to hang 2 of these 300 Mercs to keep up.

My buddy Dave picked me up at 0500 today and we drove to the lake, we were first on the ramp, and we got to the first fishing spot at 0600. We were fishing out of Dave's Basstracker TX 17. It was a super nice day to be on the water, even fresh water.  Together we caught and released 7...

I purchased a new aluminum prop off of ebay, when it got here one of the blades was bent. The seller is sending me another one and said I could just keep the first and see if I could fix it. How do I fix it?

For those that don't know, this week is Police Memorial Week, dedicated to the men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty. I spent the day honoring Porter Robinson.  Porter was a young man who grew up in the remote mountains of NC and served as a Greensboro, NC cop until he...

BEAUTIFUL. It was 90 degrees and sunny Wednesday, now its Friday and the high was 52 with rain on and off. WHATS UP WITH THAT?!!!!!!! I thought we had this global warming thing all worked out.

I am still studying what kind of seat(s) I am going to put in my V. Question is, what is the height of everyones helm seat?  I mean the distance from the floor to where your butt sits.  I don't know what mine is (cause my V is 200 miles away) but I know it is 2 throw cushions too short for me...

I made it down to Holden Beach (NC) Tuesday night with two buddies. (My friend pulled my V down with his truck). I had been watching all week and the wind forcast was ok, 10-15 out of the south (typical summer pattern). Holden faces south so if you get out early in the morning before the wind...

No, not that kind of shooting. Is anyone using an "in-hull" transducer? Is the V's hull conducive to such?

They have a 40 gal gas tank that will fit my V for $160.00. :D But they want $100.00 to ship it to me. :o :P Anyone near there and willing to go by and pick it up and send it to me :-/.......of course I will pay you for your time and the shipping costs. Trying to save a buck.

It was quit an operation but I was able to complete with inspiration from all the V-20 do it yersefers out there. Now I can keep all my ropes, anchors, fenders and the like in there. I'm thinking about using the pump as a spare bilge pump. Before After

Everyone I have seen on here uses the traditional "fluke" style anchor w/ a chain. I found this (red) anchor hooked to a line in the inlet about 8 years ago and have thrown away all others since then. I can drop the anchor anywhere and it sticks every time, no fuss, no re-anchor, just drop and...

If you go into most any boat dealer or "discount" boat supply store and ask for in-hose or in-line scuppers they will look at you funny, walk to the regular scupper department, look at you funny again, and tell you they have never seen or heard of them. But if you ask for a "check" valve, they...
