put a bimini top on the old boat last year, purchased from national bimini tops inc. very happy with the top till sunday, when I tried to back the boat in the garage with the top still up, alcohol may have been a factor. called the mfg. and they don, t sell parts. anyone know who could make a couple bows?

I don't tip the owner of the restaurant, I tip the waiter-waitress. Same on a charter for me. If the mate is a hard worker and personable he is tipped accordingly, a C note is not out of line.

Pete, Nevermind about the guys cannonballs, huw about all the guys outhere pulling multiple long copper rigs? Your not going to make a lot of friends. Just a thought, Good luck!

thumburn, anything mechanical will eventually need service, I spend a lot of money on fishing equipment and insist on everything being in top shape, I use tuna reel service, great service, and really fasy turn around and a factory warranty center. if its worth owning, its worth taking care of. tight lines.

What are the pros and cons of 8in SD/Paddles as compared to the 11in models. Would like to try some 11in if I won't have equipment problems. Thanks! Tight Lines to all

you have a lot going on there! I'll try to help, been thru this a hundred times. These are my opinions and suggestions only, I believe these to be a safe and positive remedy for your situation, others may disagree and that's OK, each to his own--here goes. No.1 you need 2 matching batteries, I prefer dual purpose marine batteries, preferably made in the USA. They hold up well and withstand many chargings. NO.2 A Perko 1-2-all, on/off disconnect switch. This switch does the obvious= on = off and allows you to run on battery no.1 or no.2 or both, I am a firm believer that the electricial system should be shut off at the end of the day. I want my boats main breaker-fuse box wired to bat. no.1 via disconnect switch. On this circuit is main engine, nav lites, fans, blowers, interior lites, horn ect. Battery no2 will have a second fuse/breaker box with my depth finder, downriggers. whatever other equipment you have for fishing. I isolate my batterys while I am fishing so I always have a fully charged battery to start my main motor to go home with. If you keep your boat in the water, I would install a bilge pump with a automatic float switch, wired directly to the main battery via a inline fuse. All this is really pretty simple and just common sense, if your uncomfortable with this I would consult a certified marine mechanic, hope this helps tight lines Blackie
