    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 had one too... used it all through the '90's until Depth Raider appeared. I have one of the first Depth Raiders used on Lake Ontario and its still on my boat today... as they say, If it 'aint broke....

    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.

    The marina's "official" facebook page says the channel is open, the dredge is out of the water and up on blocks as of Tuesday afternoon

    A good friend and neighbor passed away suddenly, he was and avid birder and bird carver. I'm placing the add here for his wife hoping his supplies can find a new home. Many bird / bird carving books, rolls of mylar, in process carvings, extra chunks/ pieces of wood, a Foredom grinder with foot switch and boxes of attachments, other incidental patterns and posters. Please PM me with a fair offer for his widow and I will meet with you to pick up, 1 mile south of Braddock bay, off E. Manitou Rd. Thank You, Jim S.

    3rd fish down appears to be an Atlantic.. note the browns have flat tail fins and the Atlantic has a "V" shaped tail...

    I have a 1996 17 ft. Superfisherman, if you're talking about the plastic screen caps, they unscrew. I removed both of mine, plugged them and screwed them back on.

    I have 2- 6" tractech tracks I'm not using... an could possabily let go of 2 Traxtech adjustable rod holders looks like this. ( stock internet photo) let me know what you think

    I run a 17ft. aluminum with an old Raymarine Sport Pilot. maintaining course in bumpy water is not a problem. Location of the fluxgate compass module is critical ( if your new unit uses one) on a smaller boat. Just my $.02....

    Pump it up on the barrier island...

    It depends on how deep they dig the channel.. this little dredge has quite the depth capacity

    Rich, any specific brand of braid you prefer ? 4 carrier vs. 8 carrier? thanks, Jim

    I picked up a Depth Raider when they first came out, so long ago I can't tell you the year.. Still going strong. I modified the antenna to use Scotty stop beads on my 'rigger without any hangups... still using the original coated cable.
