    You are correct. The information I read from Westpoint marina... the channel didn't fill in as much as anticipated. They expect to be done in 2-3 weeks... weather permitting. Lake level at 255.27 as of Friday morning... lets hope it keeps rising...

    Just a heads up.... the launch ramp at Braddocks is closed until the dredging is completed.

    I"ve got a '96- 3 cyl. Merc on a 17 footer.. Got to ask, what diameter and pitch prop are you using?? I've run a 17 pitch and could over rev the motor... buddy of mine tried a 21 pitch and couldn't get the rpms up. Stock for my 90hp. is a 19 pitch. Changing from 3 blade to 4 blade can make a difference too. Just my unprofessional $.02

    Speedy, The marine wiring website I posted above has a chart that tells what gauge wire is needed based on amp draw and length of wire run. Check out Blue Sea Systems for bus bars, terminal blocks, etc. I have used a lot of their products in my rig.

    I have a buddy looking for a trailer to fit a 20 foot pontoon boat. Please call or text Steve directly at: 585-355-8444 if you have a lead on one. Thanks, Jim S.

    Tom at Pro Source, East Fork Marina. He worked on my 1996 90hp. Merc a few weeks ago. Nice guy, fair price, good work

    Picked up a few sheets of this in the spring.... super bright light green glow with a UV coating... Very nice tape. Just thought I'd pass along my find to the guys who like to custom tape lures and flashers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256400121226

    I've had tracks on my aluminum Starcraft for years now... mounted with stainless screws, aluminum back up plates and nylock nuts. I would rethink the rivet idea. There's a lot of flex and stress on the tracks and gunnels, rivets may eventually loosen up from the movement, no way to tighten then back down. I've had to re-tighten mine every few years. Just offering my $.02 and experience.

    There are few choices here from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=marine+line+gripper+cleat&crid=RRWH2QH9VK63&sprefix=marine+line+gripper+cleat%2Caps%2C107&ref=nb_sb_noss
