Boat Steering Wheel Cover?
The steering wheel in my boat is smaller than a car steering wheel and I was wondering if they make steering wheel covers that would fit the one in my boat. I would like to find one. I was wondering if anyone has one on their boats, and if so where can I find one.

Trolling Motor Sticker/Decal...
The sticker/decal on the top of my motorguide had cracked and faded. I contacted Motorguide and they cannot sell just the decal, but you have to buy the whole top of the trolling motor. I was wondering if anyone on here could make the triangled shape decal.... or anywhere else I could get one. If, so I'll provide the decal details. Thanks, Chad

Single axle vs. Dual Axle?
My boat came with the original painted trailer, but living at the beach I need a galvinized trailer - the original is rusting bad. My boat is a 2000 ProCraft 17' long. I was thinking about a single axle trailer. Would you buy brand new or lightly used. Where is the best places to find a trailer to match my boat?

Boat Parts
I can't seem to find parts for my ProCraft - I'm looking for stickers for the side of the boat as the others are beginning to peal and a new windshield as the current one is getting "sun cracks". Any ideas? Also what is the best product to remove very light scratches? You cannot feel the scratches they are so light, only see them. They are from a cooler rubbing against the boat? Any product to remove them? I know I'm asking alot of questions, but yall are the most help! Thanks so much

How to remove a hook and tend to the injury.
I found this rapala while I was fishing (I was going to change the hooks, and make it usuable) and laid it in my boat. The rapala hooked onto the eye of one of my rods (unnoticed) and when I went to put the rod up the hooks swung and stuck me. I tried every method I knew of. I ended up going to the hospital, where they choose "method 3" (tie string to hook, and yank). Well they yanked twice and no luck - didn't feel to good. The third try was successful, and they gave me a tetnis shot. They felt so bad for putting me through the pain, they didnt even charge me....

Searching for a Boat
I had planned on restoring my boat, but realized that I do not want to put the amount of money in that it would cost to fix-up. I decided instead to put the money that I would use to fix the boat up toward a new boat.... My question is, what good websites or magazines would I use to locate a boat in my area (Eastern North Carolina) Thanks, Chad

Replacing Boat Flooring
As in a previous posts (and many more to come, because you guys are "experts" and give the best advice) I'm refurbishing my boat. The floors in the boat are soft and need replacing... how much would it cost to get someone to redo it? An what type of carpet should I use (because I'm going to get rid of the old carpet.) As usual, thanks for your input!

Call it crazy but whats the best Shoe/Sandle?
I could never fish without shoes... too many hooks aboard my boat and my carpet/boat are too hot on the bottom of my feet in the summer. I go with the sperrys in the summer and waterproof/insulated boots in the winter

!?What do you all think of BPS reels?!
I have had 3 Extremes... hated them, and they all messed up (and I take good care of my stuff) Don't recommend them. I have 2 Pro Qualifiers and have had no problems... I wouldn't recommend them, pay a little extra and get a name brand - they will have parts and will fix them if something happens. JMHO
