  1. I bought and used the Navigloo boat cover to cover my 1800 Sport Angler. I only used it one season as I sold my boat, but  I have nothing but good things to say abouy it. The cover was heavy duty and shed the NH rain and snow with no problems. The framework was robust with many adjustable settings to be able to fit your specific application.

    The only problem I had was self inflicted. The cover I bought was designed for the next longer length boat than mine. The covered everything including the motor and trailer tongue, plus some left over which reached the ground. Over the course of the winter it froze into the ground and I had hard time getting it thawed out from the ground without tearing it. 

     

    Here are a couple of picts

  2. A word of caution if spraying closed cell foam....Follow the application instructions!!!

    As closed cell foam cures it goes through an exothermic reaction that causes it to heat. if applied to thick it can become hot enough to catch fire.

    I know this because a company applying closed cell foam insulation in my attic sprayed it thicker than specified and it caused a fire in my attic.

  4. A while ago I posted how I adapted my front seat post to be able to insert my planer mast.

    Just another idea If it helps.

    The only thing I didn't include was I installed a piece 3/16 inch SS plate under the seat base for re-enforcement

    I have just finished adapting my front seat post to be able to mounty planner mast in. After i figured what i needed for spacers. I bought a 3 ft piece of nylon 66 from McMaster Carr on line, that i cut four 8in long pieces from. It just happened that i could use a standard thickness they sold. 5/16 inch thick. I laid out where the spacers were to be mounted, drilled clearance holes in the post and drilled and tapped corresponding holes in the spacers. The spacer material cost about $6, pretty cheap. The last thing I did was to drill a hole though the seat post and the planer mast to keep keep the mast height where i wanted it and to keep it from rotating in the post.

    Hope this helps.

  5. Hi,

    There are two forum members the make the shark weight, bikinibottom and Troutman87.

    I have purchased 10 and 12 lb weights from bikini bottom and they are fantastic and will highly recommend them.

    I've don't have any experience with Troutman87, but others here have stated his weights are excellent also.

    You'll find their prices are much lower that buying from anywhere else and their weights are as good or better. 

    Check them out and you'll be glad you did. Support our forum members whenever you can.

     

    Thanks and Boat Safe

  7. I've been running 2 of the Cannon mag 10 STX's for six seasons and have NO issues with their operating just the way they are supposed to. The only thing I would add is, buy 2, 6inch, down rigger snubbers from Amish Outfitters to stop a lot of the bounce due to these riggers being so fast on the up and down stop.

  8. Hi

    Not knowing anything about the Deep Diver I had to check them out online. Do they use a similar adjustable keel weight to set the direction?

    The web site shows depth charts based on 30# mono and 2-2.4 sow. How much difference in depth if using 30# steel 

    wire?

    Thanks & Boat Safe
