Last week my husband was complaining that you cant see the TV's at the marina bar/restaurant from the boat when you are docked in their slips. So I got a projector that I can hook to my phone and a screen we can fold up. We can play the football games on the phone and project to the screen at...

My hubby and I went back and forth on names for quite some time. He then decided to follow his dad's tradition of naming his boats after his daughters or their nicknames. My daughter's name is Kaitlyn and I called her Katie Bug when she was little. So that is what we are naming the boat.

Just my .02, I love the Taylor Made Pontoon Fenders. I think the regular ones are horribly ugly. the TM's work perfectly and are simple to put over.

We use the Taylor Made pontoon fenders, they come with fender hangers in the package and install by drilling into the top rail, however, the straps slip between the rail and sidewall so we haven't installed them yet, but do plan to.

We bought our boat from Phil Dill. I wouldn't have them do it. We have ours in a slip at Joe Pool Lake, Lynn Creek Marina. She went in in September, so about two months, and we pulled her out to do some wiring last weekend. I just used aluminum cleaner from O'Reilly's and a soft bristle brush...

We have a hummingbird helix 10 and a Minkota 80 w/ipilot and are trying to connect the two so that we can follow the terrain shown on the hummingbird with the trolling motor. We thought we could with these two but can't seem to figure out the cables. Went to Bass Pro and the cables they sent us...

I was just seeing this online used on cars. Amazing that this application works too.

Can I see pictures of your boat name graphics? I guess this isn't really a DIY, but... I am working on the graphics and am trying to decide.

I called them and yes, he said to bring it in, it shouldn't be doing that. Its a bit of a hike, with trailering that big honking thing down the Dallas freeways, so will wait til our new live well comes in and do it all at the same time. Our front live well has a hole in it and leaks.

Yes, I have the standard vinyl.

Thanks!

This is our first pontoon and getting used to the motor. We have the 115hp Yamaha and the issue is that the reverse seems to not engage until it's way down. It engages fine going forward but when we need to reverse it, it seems to take forever. Is there something wrong or is this normal? Is...

Thanks.
