When your done with your glass work don't go back to blind fasteners for your seat mounts. That is what factory uses but over time they will wear into glass from underside and pull thru against hard weight. My rear seat almost pitched me overboard one cold morning when I lost balance and leaned...

If your just trying to fill holes someone cut mask back side with a sturdy tape. Gorilla tape possibly . First off sand a good distance out around perimeter . Start laying in saturated mating to build up layers extending first couple out onto sanded perimeter. That seat cut out is your flotation...

Bought the unit new in about 2014. If I recall its a Garman but not 100 percent sure without uncovering boat. I'm assuming antenna is built into the wire bundle I,ve got laying under console as there's no coax connector to attach an external antenna that I've found.

I do get very poor reception on GPS in depth finder . To the point a lot of days its non functioning/ won,t lock onto satellite's. Other days reception is fine but that doesn,t happen a lot. My wire bundle which I assume has an antenna leads in it is tucked under my aluminum console. Always...

Have GPS on my Depth finder. Problem i,ve found is the windy river I hunt the track would take you right thru the woods on the pointed corners. Found this out in daytime use thankfully. Works good for crossing bays though.

Took advantage of midday high tide change and 26 degrees temp yesterday after another 14 degree morning. With 10 mph N.W. wind and tide movement broke a hole in ice in front of blind and let wind & tide carry ice away. Shot first duck 15 minutes after getting in blind at about 12:15 pm and done...

Surprised the liner jkt. isn't slick inside as most models are simply a kind of nylon either side with insulation sandwiched between. Does liner jkt. have fleece inside it ? I seem to run into a gun mount issue with their 3n1 styles getting the tall outer shell collar keeping my head from going...

Went down to 12 last sat. morn with a stiff N.W. wind. After storm petered out Monday morning balmy at 28 and a bit of N.W. great hunting weather. Tues. morning just a couple degrees cooler and another great hunting morning. Now this morning back to mid teens and were stuck in those temps with...

Which model did you get so we don't repeat the mistake?

Black ducks are what's saved my season this year. Haven,t shot a mallard in last 3 weeks ,only my 2 Blacks each trip. Iced up river getting ready to start as well as impounds iced over looks like thru end of our season if forecast holds. May work good if it doesn,t get to bitter for this ol man.

We get those in river i hunt. Certain conditions submerged fallen trees surface occasionally and here comes a 25 ft. tree floating right at water level. Maybe there a couple broken limb stubs to spot it and maybe not. Usually only see it after a huge flood tide but just last week one came...

Yea, i,ve killed 2 Black duck hybrids so far this year on river I hunt actually in past 2 weeks. That's not a normal place to find hybrids in past years. Our Bayfront is where Blk/Mallard hybrids are more prevalent. Each time they came in with a mate that showed no outward signs of being mixed...

I,ve been using a 4" flood light from Tractor Supply on my Ghenooe and 1436 jon. Both wired back to a 3 switch control panel mounted in a small plastic ammo can and powered by a Lawn Mower battery. Theres actually a little conversion box made now that allows use of a 20 volt Dewalt power tool...

On my Blackjack top cap was simply riveted on and gunnel molding supplied the water seal. Of course over time as rubber hardened and cracked seal became suspect and is why those hulls were prone to getting leakage in corner flotation bxs. That and loosening handles on stern. If you remove to...

Don,t trust the Red. It will let you down on older fuel.

I'm the outlier here. Never used non ethanol but have used a few stabilizers in my boat and mower , chainsaws and other lawn maint. tools thru the years. Found quickly Red Stabil didn,t cu. t it When they introduced blue stabil several years ago I started using that and have never had a fuel...

The water has shine as well on a sunny day. The most important shine is your movement, particularly face & glasses on their approach.

I,ve used indoor/outdoor carpet from big box stores on my smaller boat trailers. Has the rubberized backing on it. Stapled w/stainless staples along sides and bottom ,no issues. But why no slicks? Makes boat unloading/ loading a lot better with less wear to hull in my opinion.

If your setting boat up top shoot divers (blue bills,cans, etc. )and blind sides extend partially down hull,say to about 10" above water line,it really shouldn,t matter. After all it is gray which isn,t far off from big water colors. I just wouldn,t leave sides completely exposed unless maybe...
