i usually just look to see if there is a rooster tail on the starboard side of my boat and then put the brakes on.. :D

LOL

where is this place located? i'm going to fill up the tanks..

i have a similar problem with my baitwell when i'm not using it. your problem may be caused by the same thing. i have a speed scoop that lets water force its way up above the water line while under way. i simply just close the seacock while i'm not using it to prevent that from happening. the purpose of the speed scoop is to prevent the pump from losing prime under way from a venturi, so you need to keep your scoop if you have one..,.

has anyone seen this movie yet? i'm not big on going to movie theaters, but i'm glad i got dragged into it. the movie is absolutely hysterical!!!

LOL...

i fished Friday, worked on my boat all day saturday, watched fireworks offshore and inshore and then fished today! saw you out there on the sea wall. the inletcam.com sign definitely gets a lot of attention, every time i go through the inlet someone on my boat points it out, you oughta keep it lit at night too tho

it sounds like you want full bronze lights with a single hole which is a good option, but you want to pay for the price of a composite or plastic light. your right that majority of LEDs are cheap. however, UW light manufacturers use "binning" (selecting the brightest and highest quality of LEDs that are manufactured) thats a little more pricey. the majority of the cost isnt even the LED itself...they have to take a big chunk of bronze and have a CNC machine billet it down to a single fixture, then you have someone assemble it with the LEDS, Tritonium lens, water tight deutz connections, driver, etc... THEN (most importantly) you have to warranty that product for 1-2 years and cough up a brand new light or driver god for bid it fails. that is going to be an expensive light. and completely justifiable IMO. and by the way the mark up on UW lights is lower than any other marine product (at least that i've ever sold) not sure why the plastic under the water line bothers you, but your best option (based on your attitude towards the price) is likely going to be amphibians or Scarab Chris' Lights.

i saw something even cooler this morning on my way offshore. a deep impact had a green and a red colored led bar on each side of the t-top, looks pretty slick. you could probably pick up those seamaster lights for $40 a piece, they are pretty bright too.. wish i had a pic!

I was on my way back from bimini last week and leaned back on one of my star rods, snapped it at the hand grip. (my fault not theirs) dropped it off to see if they could fix it for me and he said not a problem at all and to call him next week, no charge! great rods, great customer service. also, i've decided to go on a diet........

Rich, thats cool, i'm gonna name mine "A Reel Shocker" any graphic ideas?

i have the same exact model as you, if you want to buy it used let me know, i'm looking to get something a little bigger. everything works properly on it. i also have a brand new split frequency transducer that i never got around to installing.

i bought a boat with lee riggers onboard. i've called over to lee 2 or three times in the last few months. so far, every single time ive called with a simple question or to buy a part they've treated me like a complete a-hole.. maybe i'm coincidentally getting the same guy that just absolutely sucks at life in general or maybe they are all just constantly pissed off. either way, i'll never own another boat with their riggers, not because of the quality, but because of the impression i've gained from there representative/s. the latest occurrence happened a few days ago, and i'm still completely disgusted...... anyone else have good/bad experience with them?

i'm not sure what the RISK is that everyone is talking about. if you've ever seen an underwater light and held it in your hand, its more substantial than any thru hull seacock in every boat in the world. i've been installing ocean led's and seavision uw lights for a long time, not one drop of water intrusion ever or experience with the "risk" i'm not hands on familiar with chris' lights, but i took a look at them online, from what i gather, they are very reasonably priced for the performance. i'm guessing that chris' lights only need a 1/4" hole for the wire as apposed to the 1" ocean led or the 4" HID, Halogen, or Xenon lights....to the OP, i would give chris a call.

WOW, driving southbound while your stolen boat is going by you northbound, that will give you a rush! awesome story

hmm never thought of that one. good tip! and if it doesnt work, spray down your buddy when he's not looking and then quickly turn off the washdown switch!!

whatever it is, i would like to put my mono on it ..

TRAITOR!

its funny you mention it, i just bought 4 led light bars (blue) to go under my gunwales and light up the hole deck... also, u/w lights can help attract baitfish to your chum a lot quicker.. imo

Brilliant!

in my opinion, the major benefit of a sea chest is having one thru hull instead of a bunch of smaller ones all over the hull..... on the bigger boats its cool to see right through the bottom of the boat, and if you pull in a bag, you can pull it out from inside the boat!

thats a great idea, that one is getting downloaded right now!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGHH!!

thanks, its getting Rain X'd and if that doesnt work its getting waxed 4 times. it will be a whole new experience being able to see where i'm driving the boat

post the list when it gets compiled. my 6000 songs on my ipod somehow are sounding overplayed on my boat... i guess i use it quite a bit
