    Shooting School

    After 20 some years of shooting I seeked help. The guy told me all I had to do was stop lifting my head of the stock when I pull the trigger! A habit I don't think I'll ever be able to stop!

    Prop question.....

    Thank Dave. Seriously thinking of buying a another at the proper size. Then decide which will be the spare. I didn't hit the stump hard but see a scuff on the original prop at the housing. Think I'll setup a dial indicator and check run out of the prop shaft too. I'm told tolerance of .004 is...

    Prop question.....

    I banged my prop on a stump last fall and was told it would cost $75 to straighten it out. I bought a Stainless and it sat on the shelf until a couple of months ago. I found out my Suzuki doesn't like heavy props. So I just bought a new Solas aluminum replacement. I've had good luck with this...

    Duckboats.net in the news

    I found it to be a well written article. The subject matter is very important and would be a shame to lose the history and science. I was able to read it but it also had a link to listen to the article. Those that can't access the written article may be able to listen to the article.

    Who needs a boat trailer!

    NP Brad. Thanks for looking. After spending half the day looking for my fuse box that controls the 12v accessories receptacles, I found a blown fuse. The original motor has an internal short so I'm hoping that's what blew the fuse.

    Who needs a boat trailer!

    No manual option. Mine is strictly motorized. I do had all the manuals and paperwork. I'll take a look and see if there's anything on the manual option. Yes. They are still in business and it doesn't seem anything has changed as far as controller or motor assembly. It will be interesting to see...

    Who needs a boat trailer!

    Yep, that's is what mine is. This one must be pretty old as it's a steel tube frame rather than aluminum extrusion as seen in the newer ones. I've wondered about a hand crank option if the motor failed. The rear roller is long enough to have a crank of some sort. How did your dad rig for a hand...

    Who needs a boat trailer!

    This one works great for my 12' Grumman. 12v forward/reversing motor with push button control.

    Who needs a boat trailer!

    We have a trip lined up for Colorado next month and my wife or I are t really comfortable in the canoe anymore. I remember seeing a boat loader for a pickup when I was at a boat show with my dad as a kid. Started doing some research and located one for sale in Wisconsin. Road trip! Well, the guy...

    Ordering an outboard drop shipped to house

    On the surface that's logical and in southern states most likely the case. In my area watercraft work goes on the back burner in winter as our local shops also deal with snow machines. Two years ago I was having an electrical issue and a shifter issue with my Mercury outboard and since they knew...

    Ordering an outboard drop shipped to house

    I was considering buying my Suzuki mail-order last year. I had a discussion with a friend of mine that works at a local boat shop. Unfortunately they don't sell loose motors but told me I should reconsider since there are only two shops in a 60 mile radius that are authorized Suzuki dealers. His...

    Holy Mackerel

    I kept my boat on the St Pete side of the Gandy Bridge when I lived in Tampa. Mainly fished the mangroves but did get into Mackerel a few times. Lot of fun. My wife smoked them and made fish spread from some. Man that was good with some gator bites. I do miss that.

    Is Alabama alone in this?

    When I was a kid, crow shooting was a great way to get reading for hunting season. My dad caught an owl in a trap set for Fox when I was around 5. It wasn't illegal then to shoot them and it was the only way to get it out of the trap. He had the owl stuffed and man was that some decoy. It...

    New Ram weight loss....

    Our trips out west are typically through Colorado Springs up highway 24 out to 11 Mile State park. We also have traveled to Gould for some trout fishing. Love Estes Park area and down around 4 Corners. We're not fast and happily get in the trucker lane. Milage sucks but motor runs healthy. Some...

    New Ram weight loss....

    Gotta say I've been driving a 2015 Toyota crew cab and still love it. Hauling my 32' travel trailer is a breeze. Hit the tow button select s4 on the transmission away you go. It never goes over 3000rpm using cruise control and very seldom do I have to do anything unless I'm going through the...
