Looks like 13 partly sunny, chance of a shower... Probably as good a day as there will be for the rest of 2014. I might just use the good weather to prep for the winter... hate to do that in the rain too.

October has been downright disappointing weather-wise. Although, with the mediocre summer we had I can hardly say I'm surprised. So, next weekend is it........... If it's nice... one last ride. If not, down to the shop she goes to get winterized and then tucked in for the duration.

Which one do you use? last year I bought a bottle of brand "X" at the marina... (and paid through the nose). Later, I saw this same brand at Bass Pro Shops for several dollars less. I just went back Saturday to get a bottle for this years ritual and that particular brand was gone! So, I...

Apparently, you need water down there too....

Well, it's now past Canadian Thanksgiving.... this is traditionally the time when I clean out the boat , winterize and tuck her in for the winter. However, this is also a fantastic time of year to boat. Not too much traffic, beautiful leaves changing colour and some sunny calm days. After an...

Great to have you.... post away! Where do you boat? What do you drive? or are you in the "looking" for a boat phase?

The worst thing about boating is having an unreliable motor. You don't want to be stuck out on the lake and have to paddle back or try and wave down passerby's to ask for a tow. It's a safety thing too. Now, old motors are fine but, old problematic used motors often seem never to be cured as...

I understand the Boating industry is just recovering but,... 60' - 90" Luxury Yachts are not going to be a low priced item we will see in every driveway. The number of jobs created will be minimal. So, is it the best use of John Q publics tax (and fee) incentives to help this business bank a...

My neighbour has a 2000 Checkmate with a 250 HP Yamaha blender on the back. Yamaha is a pretty respectable motor and this one gets ALL the maintenance but, for some reason it squeaked. They said it was an $8000 job to rebuild it. A new power head is $6500. I don't know what the cost is to...

I'm not an outboard fan at all. Expensive to buy, expensive "proprietary" parts, expensive to service (except regular maintenance) and not a great look aesthetically imho.

Okay it's time to "dump the ol' boat before winter" again.... Still looking for a donor with a Mercruiser 4.3 CHEAP!!!

Well, she needs attention for sure. These things do not fix themselves however, a tech on site could probably narrow all this down pretty quickly. :)

We went out Saturday with the "boat club" to run the Severn river from Hwy 11 to the big Chute lock. Forecast said "some scattered showers" ... so, 12 boats set out in a light "spit" of rain. Within 15 minutes (at 9:30 AM ) the heavens opened up and didn't stop till 3:30 PM. I don't have a...

I'm thinking that if there's enough juice to get her started once but, the alternator is not supplying enough to keep it running. The battery is flat, having used everything to get it running so, there's nothing left for spark... It sounds like an alternator (remember one battery is new)...

This sounds like a charging system issue. Alternator or wiring are likely culprits. You could also look for an open system that is constantly drawing power (Bilge pump switch, stereo, loose connections etc) Install a battery switch and turn it off while not in use. (good idea anyways)

Here. This is more of a pontoon speed... http://www.woodyboater.com/classic-boat-art/thought-didnt-need-paddle-porsche-pontoon-boat/

Phew! Glad to see you still have your "man card" :)

The more days that pass the less I feel it.... pretty much a footnote at this point.

I don't understand the "attack pontoon" concept... Maybe if the marines mounted some 50cals for beach assault the speed could be justified. But, other than that I think that's way too fast for a mobile dock.
