  1. aaaannnnndd price and availability of primers and powder.  If you were into reloading before covid, it was cost efficient, worth your time and beneficial, especially if you were stocked up on supplies.  Nowadays, those who are wanting to get into it, do the actual math (how many rounds per # of powder, price of shipping powder/primes WITH Hazmat fees WHEN you can't find supplies locally, availability of lead shot...), run the realistic numbers and see if the time offsets the time and space it takes to reload.


  2. Lansky masters edge sharpening system. Comes with four ceramic rods, triangular rod and eraser (ceramic rod cleaner). Moving towards sharpening stones so this needs to go. $30

  3. I've had a break off or two with the newer cannons.  Changed my terminations to wire not rather than crimp and added rigger snubbers. The snubbers help quite a bit with the sudden stops of the fast descent.  Another thing to consider when lowering is using the clutch.  Yes, it's more of a hassle, but can control descent speeds and not have the sudden stop.

  4. There is a process we did on a soft spot on the deck of our boat, a little over a square foot.  Drilled 50-60 small holes, filled syringe with some kind of resin and let it do it's thing.  I know it's kind of a band aid but was worth a shot.  That was two years ago and the spot we did this to is solid once again.  Might be worth a shot.  If it doesn't work, you'll be cutting it out and replacing it anyways!  If you want more info, shoot me a message and I'll try and find the link/video.

  5. Got two big ol' pieces of white oak to replace my existing bunkers.  Should I be sealing these with anything?  Keep them raw and wrap in carpet?  What carpet is recommended?  In case is makes a difference, boat gets lifted onto trailer in September, sits all winter, and get's put back in water in May.
