It is a bit frustraing. When I go out to the boat this weekend I will look into the idle too. I heard if you over adjuste the idel then your gears will grind and you won't go anywhere. I guess you have to get it just right. I will try some of the suggestions and hope for the best. Thanks for the adv...

The other day, or I should say for a couple of days I have had a heck of a time trying to dock. I had the outside winward side slip and and tight fit with a boat next to me. I was trying to come in with arund a 15 mile an hour wind I would estimate hitting me at a 90 degreee angle. When I slowed the...

a few people have mentioned the right orienation of a radar reflector, but they don't say what it is. So what exactly is the right orientation? Since I hardly sail in places other than lakes, when I do get an opportunity to do so I have a reflector up on my left spreader. Is there something else tha...

when I took my boat out for the winter I noticed my pedestel rocked just a little bit, so I took off the sides and checked the bolts that held it to the deck. I noticed that a couple of them were a little loose, so I just tightened them up. Now it's back to being sturdy again. Maybe one side of your...

I use to trailer all the time as well and now for the last 2 years I have mine in a slip. It use to take me 1.5 hours to rig, but as delevi mentioned, it depends on what you have on your boat. Mine also has all lines running aft, puls I always rig my reef line in and I also have electronics that I p...

I had my boat in the lake for about 5 months and when I pulled it out it also had alot of green on it. I tried to rub it off at the dock with a boat bush but it wouldn't come off. So after I got it home I ordered some SlilmyGrimy and about a week later I got it. I then sprayed down the bottom of the...

I did see an old guy one time rowing in his boat into Mission Bay in San Diego, as we were motoring out. I was with Timmy Z and we were just talking about a guy that did that, and then here he comes around the point and into the channel. I am thinking he had a 32' or so boat. I'm not sure, but it wa...

Instead of using 2 paddles, why not use just 1, and opperate it like a gondola in italy?

Do you think that might work?

Ok that sounds good!!! Yes they are wet cell batteries.
I will do as you all suggest.
Thanks for your advise

I have heard and have been told to remove the batteries from the boat and put them in the garage on wooden blocks for the winter. But I kind of hate to pull my 2 batteries out if I don't have to. My question is, is that I have them both in plastic battery boxes, and I don't think it gets any colder ...

Thanks for the info. That did clear up some things I wasn't sure of.
Like always, the help on this board is greattttttt.
You guy got back to me before my dealer did. I doubt I will hear from him for a few more days. I knew I could count on you.
thanks again

I talked to the dealer and I had asked them about the harness and hitch. I told him that I have surge brakes on my trailer and I thought that all you needed to do was hook up the harness and plug it into the trailer and your good to go. But he was saying that you also need some kind of electric trai...

Thanks for the fast reply.
It's always good to know the size of your ball

I just bought a new truck and I have to put a new hitch and ball on it. I cannot remember what size ball goes with the trailer. I have a trailer for the 2001X. Does anyone know what size ball fits?
Thanks

I like the idea of the boards mounted to the fender and post, but I am wondering would heavy duty pvc like 4" or 5" pipe work just as good? Maybe that would be a little more giving in case the boat bumped into the guides. It seems that when the boat bumps into the wooden type it could hit ...
