Re: Spray-on bedliner? Or drop-in?

Thanks, all. It sounds like there are benefits to both types. I need to check out some spray-in beds in other people's trucks, since I don't know that much about them.

Re: What else can I do to avoid fuel problems and repairs?

Thank you, tailwaters and zload. I hadn't heard about the 2 micron fuel filter. That's also a good tip about keeping a full tank. Back when we used the boat more, my better half got nervous at the half-full mark, so we kept the tank almost full. It did seem there were fewer problems back then. It's ...

Re: What else can I do to avoid fuel problems and repairs?

Thanks, Juan. I'm trying to figure out a good place to buy non-ethanol. I seem to have more problems when I fill up at the marina closest to my house.

Spray-on bedliner? Or drop-in?

Any opinions on what I should get for my truck? It seems to me a drop-in liner might be best because it can be removed or replaced. I also am not sure I like the idea of something sprayed on my factory paint. But I've seen some opinions that the rubberized drop-ins don't prevent scratches as well as...

What else can I do to avoid fuel problems and repairs?

I know this is a question often asked, but I'm curious. What can I do to avoid problems with fuel and repairs for my Suzuki DF115? In the past couple of years, I've had to replace an IAC valve, a high-pressure fuel pump, multiple fuel and water separator filters, spark plugs, hoses and primer bulbs,...

Re: Need a new reel for my Tica surf rod

Thanks, silverking. That reel looks like it's worth stretching the bungee on my budget. I have a small Tsunami reel I bought with a combo years ago, and it's so good I had to forfeit it to my trout-fishing/Skitterwalking wife. Your name sounds familiar to me, and I think we may have crossed paths be...

Need a new reel for my Tica surf rod

Advise me please, y'all. I need to replace the reel on my 10-1/2-foot Tica surf rod. What can y'all suggest? I'd like to spend around $75 or preferably less. I've looked at the Penn Fierce II 6000 and the Okuma Trio 55s in stores, and I saw and liked the Okuma Distance Surf DS60 online. Tica's web s...

New trailer advice?

We (I and my financial adviser to whom I am married) have just about decided that a new trailer for our 18'6" center console is the way to go. We're leaning toward all-aluminum, even though I hear that it costs more. Any advice? What's a reasonable price?

Re: Need advice on Penn conventional reels

Thanks, Mister Mullet. The 67 does have the side plates, so that's good to know.
