    Cleaning non skid

    I give my deck a light scrub with any soap - I use Joy 'cause it lathers in salt water. This gets the greasy stuff off the surface. Follow up with any straight bleach (dollar store) - in a spray bottle for small spots and a paint tray/roller for large areas. Let it sit for a while, then hose it...

    could some check the maximum load on your trailer jack ?

    Doubt that you have over 2,500 lbs tongue weight. I tow 12,000 lbs and don't have that much weight. Chances are your jack just gave out. Here's a little insight on what I use. http://72land-n-sea.blogspot.com/2013/01/blog-post.html

    115 E-TEC on a 1700 prop suggestions

    We only had one condition - cruise, that included ~30 gallons of gas, 10 water, a 6 gallon cooler full of beer, two people (but no dog back then). The rig weighed about 3800 lbs including the tandem axle trailer.

    Galvanized vs. Aluminum trailer: Which is better

    My rule of thumb is: If you've got a pretty boat and don't have far to go, aluminum and torsion is the ticket. If you beat the daylights out of your trailer and have a long way to travel (we went 14,000 miles r/t to Alaska and back) then steel (galvanized) and springs will be your best bet.

    Solar charger?

    I've been experimenting with this one for about 2 weeks. I hooked it up without a controller to a 12vdc lawnmower battery. So far it's been keeping the battery topped up without any gassing. Thus far, I'd recommend it for keeping a battery up. http://www.harborfreight.com/15-watt-so ... 68692.html

    tuffcoat

    Some folks on my houseboat group love truck bed liner... Sand - DA, 150 grit (sand flat, sand any lifted edges to flat.) The PO had already filled and smoothed the damaged area on the prow with what looked like 5200 or maybe bondo so I didn't have to do any filling. Small chips were not...

    Might consider storing the anchor outside when you're using it often...like my backup anchor in the PVC pipe. Or my stern anchor...

    Posi - Products Connectors

    I used them on my boat behind the dash to make sure I had the circuits properly wired when I was messing with NMEA wiring - didn't want to make a commitment until I was sure I got it right. Eight years later they were still there. I've also used them when I installed DRL's on my van rather than...

    Trailer rehab

    You didn't smoke the axle because you lost the Bearing Buddy - you lost the Bearing Buddy because you smoked the axle. I've driven hundreds of miles including splashing and retrieving with a missing Bearing Buddy and had no issues with the bearings. The Bearing Buddy comes off because the...

    1801 trailer question

    I fought the centering/level thing for a long time, but finally learned the trick. The closer your main bunks are, the better your boat will center/level. I used guides and pads and rollers to try to get the boat centered and level but never got the same results twice - often backing back down...

    Cabin boats in hot weather...

    Most pilot house folks here will tell you things are great with just an open front window, but we found that not to be true so we installed an RV rooftop unit which is used with a Honda 2000i. We don't have to pretend we're comfortable anymore. I'm thinking we're going on over 5 years...
