I use guide on brackets for my lights. I can see enough light to back the trailer. With the brackets I have not had to replace any lights.

A little story. My hunting buddy and I started hunting together and got some freezer cork and proceeded to carve a few decoys. His father was a caretaker and lived on the estate. We were using horse shoe rasps [free]. The wife came to the garage to get her car and saw us working and asked what...

Make a pair of bowl caliper out of ply wood

I don't think the resident goose season on long island is effective. Open up the first 10 days of the season for 6 geese, close it down for the split and go back to 2 geese. You may shoot a few migrant birds, but mostly resident birds. I shot the residemt season once, never again.

Steve, I don't like to use plywood for backers. Wood gets compressed over time. I use stainless, never tried compressed glass as Eric suggested. You said there will be no load on the eyes, should be ok.

Kroil oil every day. Slow will get you there faster. Retap and lube all bolts...

Never painted my my motors, just turned a potato bag inside out and split the bag 1/2 way up. Worked for over 20 years.

I've had many evinrudes over the years. All new to me motors. Always used 50-1 mix on all. Story, a friend found a 18hp that wouldn't run well, new 100-1 mix. He and the original owner put in a 25-1 mix of oil. Just a little math problem, now that it's all straight the motor is still running,

Any pics or info from from maryland.........

When you bring child hunting, make sure they are warm. Bring them in the pm, favorite book or electronics so if they get bored they can keep busy. Be ready to leave if they get cranky. This is supposed to be fun. Handeling guns depends on child and parent, some I wouldn't agree with. SAFETY...

Kevin, you not be mounting the gun well while sitting. Take your cell and do a video of yourself shooting. Also try a slip on pad. The pitch could also be a problem, pitch spacer in the slip on will work. Happy hunting...

I gunned small tidal marshes with my southbay. I would use 5-6 mallard/blackducks, maybe 1-2 geese [if there were flocks around]. Match the hatch, if you see 4-5 birds in the area, copy them. Only used bigger rigs on open bays.

Use really small drill bits, drill around the shaft to releive stress. Use vise gripes to help.

Check out 3M, I think they have a self leveling silicone. Aerospace industry uses it.

Safety in a boat is the first thing. Would not buy a boat if I wouldn't trust it. Wife wants you safe, she needs a babysitter... Hang out at decoy shows, DU events and talk to guys and wjat they use. All boats have limitations, Some days I just won't launch it, I'll go to a safer spot...
