Have you checked out that tire yet? Wondering the reason for the lower tire pressure.

Did you drop it in dirt? You might want to flush the hitch with some water, then liberally spray with some WD-40 to get the water out.

Until you meet the mosquitoes. They hunt the hunter. Last summer the wife and myself went out around 8pm and were having a nice time. That is until sunset. The mosquitoes were insane. Of course I forgot the bug spray . Actually I didn't even consider bringing any, mosquitoes have been zero issue during the day. We put on our rain gear to shield ourselves. It wasn't too hot, and worked out pretty well since I don't think just spray would have kept them away. After awhile they lightened up some after the initial swarm. We had a good time, it's so much more quite at night .

Wow . Waiting for the video.

No it is not. Automatic cost extra .

Wow, thanks for the pics on that. I didn't quite understand the explanation until I really looked at the pictures. I put a small 2X4 on the bottom of my tank to try to level it out on the water. Of course that is useless for your problem. Have you looked for a new cap? Somewhere I've seen replacement caps that vent properly.

For fishing those boats would be fine, but anything social your way too small. I would suggest a small pontoon.

That is nice . It looks like your going to get another 20 out of that rig.

Charger is good. One more year left on that warranty .

It seems like the trolling motor battery longevity is all over the place. Mine started to act up last fall, and I was thinking it was the trolling motor. It won't hold a charge and is out of warranty. I got Duracell from Sam's, we will see how long this will last.

I got my tray installed and tried it out today. It sets the foot peddle back more than I anticipated. It's definitely an improvement while standing. I'm going to have to secure it to the bottom of the tray. I got the Cool Foot pad stuck on the peddle also. The black peddle does get hot in the sun, I thought this might help. Now with the peddle back farther, I'm going to have to look for a butt seat and post .

No fuse box. There is a rats nest of wires in the console.

What made you decide on the Lowrance?

The driver gets out of the truck yells " I'm in park. I've been in park the whole time!". So yeah, that sucks for them. I wonder if he ever tried the brakes? I ran into a similar situation a number of years ago with a Colorado I had. I was on a hill that was ice covered and with it in park or just using the parking brake it would start to slide, but pushing the brake peddle I was OK. The parking brake only locks the rear, not the front tires, so you lose a lot of grip just in park. I had to use an ice scraper that I wedged on the brake peddle to the seat to lock all four wheels before I got out of the truck. Fun times .

Nice. I have been considering something similar. I was looking at one of these consoles, but jeez the price! Also, I think it would be about an inch short for a comfortable step.

Have you considered taking out the whole live-well console and rebuilding it with a bigger live-well? I've seen a few people adding deck extensions but they come straight out and do nothing with the small live-well.

You should have lead with snack store.

I don't think your going to be able to do much more than what you have. Your fighting mother nature and you'll never win that battle, until you get a garage to put it in, even then... Something you might try is putting a fan under the cover to circulate the air.

Just wondering, is the problem that water is coming through the cover, or is water condensing under the tarp on the cooler metal?

So I got the trolling motor tray and it has a drain hole that needs some attention. The tray uses 1/8" thick aluminum throughout, but that isn't thick enough to screw anything into. I didn't have any aluminum on hand that was thick enough to hold a fitting, so what I did was cut up some scrap I had on hand and laminated them together with some JB Weld. Drill that out and tap 3/4". I know brass and bronze don't play well with aluminum so I found a PEX elbow that will work perfect. A 3/4" hole in the tray is pretty big and I figure that I'll be dropping all sorts of stuff down there. To save some headaches down the road, I put in a hose filter. Next I used my Dremel sanding drum (don't use a grinding wheel on aluminum) to remove the paint around the hole and rough up the area for the JB Weld to hold on to. After that dries I hit the area with some black gas grill paint and I'm ready for install. Now all I need is some warm weather to start cutting into my boat.

I just got an email today, Dowco covers are on sale 25% off. Promo code BLUES good to Feb 23.

I didn't consider tape. Interesting....

Nice. Did you permanently mount your peddle or is it still lose?

I just picked up the R&R Design trolling motor tray. It's a nice tray, beefier than I expected. When it gets warm again, I'll start hacking into the deck.
