    Ranger Boat Cover Waterproofing

    My original Ranger cover from 2009 is in good shape physically but is no longer waterproof. I want to apply a product to restore waterproofing. Would appreciate product/procedure recommendations from anyone in the know. Tag on the bag indicates it was made for Ranger by TriVantage. I assume it...

    Minnkota Spot Lock

    Terrova spot lock is only based on trolling motor head GPS. It attempts to keep that unit close to the set point. It has no idea or concern what the rest of the boat does. You have to use some judgement of wind and current to position the boat before spot locking if you want to minimize frustration.

    Lund transom

    Gibbons is done July 1 and already stopped taking on new work. Some of their guys are setting up over at River City but will be a couple months before they're ready. Unfortunately if you pay someone to do it and insurance does not cover it you will almost certainly be upside down on a 25 year...

    Battery Charger

    You would be far better off spending that money on trolling motor and battery upgrade. It takes a lot of real estate to generate much solar power. A 100 watt solar panel is almost 2ft x 4ft and at max will provide 100/12= 8.3 amps at 12v. Even a small trolling motor will draw over 30 amps at...

    Lund transom

    Buddy looked into it for his. It would be pretty inexpensive to do with marine plywood if Lund would provide a template or computer file to make a template but they will not. He said Lund will sell a new composite transom but they aren't cheap and neither is shipping. If you do it on your own...

    Trailer Hubs Warm?

    This is the correct answer. I've been guilty of adding grease to the bearing buddy periodically but that can damage bearing seals which are very important on a wheel that goes from the highway to the water in a matter of minutes. If you haven't had bearings repacked with grease in the past 2...

    Cat fishing

    This guy is asking for a spot so he can go make a video sharing the spot with the world, so not sure why anyone would want to share.

    Help Propping 200 V6 Merc on Tri-Toon

    I worked with PropMD in Plymouth, MN when getting mine dialed in. They had a pitch exchange program where you could try the prop you want and send back in new condition if needed to exchange for same prop in different pitch, just pay shipping. They're also really knowledgeable and helpful in...

    Smart thermostat

    X2 on the basic Honeywell wifi thermostat. Had mine for a few years and does exactly what I want for managing it from my phone. No service fees, free app, temperature alert notifications. Model RTH6580WF or similar.

    91 Octane, ethanol free...

    Google search "ethanol test kit". Might start doing some verification since I buy non ethanol for everything but the pickup.

    91 Octane, ethanol free...

    Taste. Ethanol imparts a slight but detectable nutty flavor. Oxygen will cause rapid deterioration in aroma so it's best to take a sample directly from the nozzle into your mouth. Otherwise, just blind trust in the supplier, station and state inspection.

    Boat windshield protector?

    Looks expensive. I'd go with a carpet remnant and a couple ratchet straps like the guy I saw buzzing down 83 a couple weeks ago. :;:

    Hub Ice house repair

    Physically missing teeth or the slider just not engaging the teeth? If the latter, it could be simple as pinching the flanges on the slider with needle nose pliers.

    Old land survey monument? Used to help find the actual survey point such as an iron rod in close proximity.

    Lithium Batteries

    DirtyMike, Dakota Tackle has the smaller size Dakota lithiums, but don't remember seeing the big ones. 5575, I would bet this is a charging issue with your buddy's setup. The specs on that charger are not consistent with the one Dakota lithium supplies. One can not simply swap lithium ion...

    Old Ammo

    If you're really worried about throwing them in the trash, you could cut open the hull and empty the shot/wad/powder before tossing.

    Big Muddy

    So why the change to live release for Big Muddy if it makes absolutely no difference as a number of people suggest? Did the tournament directors decide it was the right thing to do? Did NDGF biologists determine it will be a requirement for the permit? Interested to know if anyone has facts on...
