Not a boating event.

Installed this week. Looking forward to sea trial. Will report results.

SEE POST 26...........You're not old..........old is a state of mind. If you feel old, you are.

EXCELLENT demo. I'm getting one ASAP. Seeing is believing.

Jimmy Buffoon is banned from my boat like bananas. Tired, washed up, now he's hawking beer. Parrott Heads doubly banned from my boat. "Southern Cross"/Stephen Stills always a favorite....."We have 80' of water line, nice to be makin' way"...........

I have recently installed another bilge pump on a separate electrical line, toggle switch/breaker on my panel. This is a backup pump with no float switch. I didn't want to put another hole in the boat for another discharge hose. The sales guy said to install a Y connector and tie in both pumps discharging bilge water out 1 hose. Only problem is that when 1 pump is activated, the water returns through the Y hose, goes out the other pump bottom back into the bilge. No water is pumped out. Both pumps need to operate in order for water to be pumped out. Can somebody offer pictures and/or instructions of the correct method to plumb 2 pumps? Should a check valve be used? What kind?

Already posted this before I saw this one........... I'll only confess this embarrassing day here........What's my penance? Here's the scenario..........triple wham-0........2 outriggers, 1 flat line (out of 2)......big Dolphin. 3 anglers, 3 fish. Here's what happened: 1. My 20# Penn Int'l line was threaded improperly on the rollers..........1 jump, SNAP. 40# fish GONE. 2. I man the net for angler 2. TOO BIG for net. Angler 2 tries to gaff with 1 hand. Gaff goes in water. Angler 2 is pissed, jumps in water to retreive gaff (with cell phone in pocket), Rx sunglasses on face. Angler and cell phone get back on boat. LOST FISH #2 after trying to hoist it over gunwale with leader. (smoke fuming from ears!!!) 3. Angler #3 needs a gaff to bring in fish. Lost #3 fish at boat. I SUCK!!! What's a man to do? I need to go back to fishing school! The day was salvaged with 2 boated 20# fish and 1 tuna. Can you pros please help with some gaffing tips, because I totally screwed my buds out of 2 nice fish.

Gus, While you're in Jax, go see this 38' 1970 Prowler, totally restored. This is a classic Forrest Johnson rig built on the Miami River. It's been for sale for a while. Make an offer they won't refuse. If I had the money, I'd snatch this one up. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/pl_...yachtsales&

Thanks to all. I've contacted him. He's low on stock. These lights are a hot item it seems.

Saw the new LED light at the boat show. MSRP $80. The folks at Taco marketing need a wake up call. This light is not available anywhere in So Fla. I called them and they said that the manufacturer (most likely China) has not shipped the unit. Why hit the market with a new product when it's not available? Marketing 101.

Aren't you the member that was put in time out on THT? Curious. You're the Kalik guy drinking alone right?

I have Sunbrella navy blue on my T-Top. Boat is white. Been there 10 years and still looks new. If you have a center console with rod holders on the side, have them cut out hook/loop flaps or stitch in plastic rings so the rod tips can poke thru. Go with blue. http://www.sunbrella.com/showroom/
