Re: Could GPS/fishfinder be draining battery?

"The battery has failed several times (just a buzzing sound that I remember from other times the battery was drained)."

What do you mean by this statement? Where was this "buzzing" sound coming from and when? When you tried to crank the engine?

Re: Water Heater Element Question

Water heaters have a "disconnecting means" -- either a plug connection, or a "pull out" type disconnect. This "pull out " disconnect today is usually a cheap box with a "pull out" handle inside. One way it is "ON" and turn it 180 degrees and it is &q...

Very dangerous boating accessory if left unattended while still burning --- that deck doesn't look fireproof to me, and some green eggs have failed and cracked dumping lit lump charcoal out, onto the deck...

Re: Happy Ending - just sharing

Water over the stern sinks a lot of boats! We rescued three guys off the keys one year in a rental boat. They rented the boat to fish over night on the reef. Not knowing where the reef was, they ran out past the reef, thru the anchor over the side and figured, as they drifted in, the anchor would ca...

Re: G. Loomis Warranty Update

It's been ten years but they replaced a very expensive fly rod broken by a Tarpon that got a little "wild" at the boat --really my fault, not a manufacturer's problem. But "no questions asked" they replaced it and sent it in a BEAUTIFUL shipping sleeve!

Re: Gas Leak in Bilge

I would suspect a leak in the fuel line from the tank, either way you have to open it up to fix it. It's not that big of a deal, install some plywood around/under the cut, then reinstall the patch -- glass it over...
