Electric trolling motors are considered a powered vessel, subsequently are a burdened vessel and must give way to a non powered vessel, unless constrained by limited navigation (about to run aground) Basic rule of both parties must act to avoid collision regardless of being the burdened or...
I have done a couple pieces of furniture. I agree with the other posters on minwax oil based stain and clear polyurethane finish. The only other advice I can give you is test the stains first. If you have similar scraps of the wood use them if not the bottom of the table where it won't be...
espringers,I should have seen that coming. Thread cross talk can be dangerous. Lostlunker, that old town sounds like a good deal. Old Town also makes the Ocean Kayak line.
NDOUTDOORS, if you are looking to pick one up right away, I give a thumbs up to a perception product. My friends kids dragged theirs across the dock for three summers and wore a hole in the transom. I called Perception and they sent a repair kit no charge. I told them I was willing to pay as it...
Been fishing from a kayak the last two years in ND. If you can try it before you buy it, do it. Sit on requires some thought about how you move round (center of gravity is higher) Second look at how you might rig it. Where will the fish finder/ transducer go and where will the power source go...
Pacifiers go back to the time of Raves (2000) The drug ecstasy was popular and sucking on lolipops or pacifiers was a response to one of the side effects. But yeah pajama bottoms wool hats in 90 degree weather does not bode well. Then again there may be a bright spot or two. Think back to how...
If you plan on eating them make sure all the dark outer meat is off them, Also do not fry them unless they are real small the smell is awful. Have heard of guys on Lake Erie that boil them with crab or shrimp boil seasoning.
Agree with Sperry or Harken Sailing Shoes. When the deck is heeled over they stick like glue. And yes they dry out quick. For the kayak I have been wearing water sock style shoes. drain holes in bottom and mesh sides. If you take an accidental swim they stay on and dry quick.
Late to jump on the bandwagon but agree with marine grade plywood only. Epoxy coat before putting vinyl or carpeting on. 3M-5200 not silicone, it is polyurethane and takes a while to dry but it will be on there for a long time. All fasteners should be stainless steel. Reinforce seat bases and...
I have kept logs for the past 15 or so years. they are mostly from Lake Erie as I have only been here since 14. Excel is the way to go, date, weather, water temp, GPS coordiantes, type fish, type of bait/lure, Yep I am a NERD.
Get the D&#^m life jackets. I always wear one in the kayak and always wore one anytime my fishing boat is moving (Motoring, trolling, drifting). I also have the cutoff lanyard attached to the jacket when motoring and trolling. I have no desire to watch the boat leave without me. Ask your...
Everyone else has pretty much summed it up, don't worry about ejecting shells hitting you. Find one that has a safety that is easily used left handed. I have fired an ar 15 and had no issues with the spent brass. The safety was set up ambidextrous so no problem. You know it is a shame there are...
Garmin 93 SV sonar, DI Side Imaging chirp on GPS store, $750. I was going to wait until the boat was ready in the spring but this was too good to pass up.
