  1. If it is a typical hand held dry chemical extingisher like we have on our boat.Look at the trigger(head) of the extingisher. If it is made out of plastic. There is no way to test it except from looking at the guage. If it is made out of metal. You can take it to an extinisher shop and they can pressure test it and reseal it. Quick note about dry checm. extinighers. If you should ever need to use it. Turn it upside down and give it a couple quick shakes before useing. The powder isside will pack together and make the extingisher useless.
  2. This is very simular to a jack I have on one of my work trailers. All you do is pull a pin nd the leg drops down that has a flat foot. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto...55574_200155574
  3. Every year I average around 12-1500 miles by the GPS. My boat is an 01 and I get out about 3 times a week. But then I don't very far to go to get to my fishing spots. But from the looks of it I will not be putting any time on the boat this year due to health issuses.
  4. On this day myself and 5 friends made a charter on the Sarah K out of Green Harbor in Marshfield. We left the dock at 4;30AM. Once we cleared the harbor we headed north. By 6 AM we had arrived at the fishing grounds. We started out jigging for cod fish. We were using 17.5-21 oz Norwegians with teasers above. We made several stops which looked very promising. As the sounder was showing large schools of bait with fish under them. But for our efforts we could not entice a bite. We did manage to snag a couple of sea herring which we saved for later use. At our last stop on of the guys hooked a nice haddock. At which point the capt. had us change over to bait rigs. While we were changing the lines over he proceeded to drop anchor. All lines went down ant the same time. The lines were not on the bottom for more the 15 seconds and they all came up tight to fish. The fishing continue like this for the next 5 hours. At which point the tide turned and the bite came down to a serious pick. But we were all spent by this time any way. At the end of the trip we had filled three 150 quart coolers and 4 totes full of haddock. With and unknown number on the deck. But we were stepping on them there were so many. The capt. estimated we had landed between 1000-1200 lbs of fish. We did pick up a couple of cod fish to throw in the mix but not many. On the way home we were tired, spent but very happy.
  5. I'll back him up on this subject. NiCads do build up a memory. To the point that they will not hold a charge. When I was working on the fire dept.our Life Paks ( defibulators) had 2 very large NiCad batteries in them. If the paks were used we would change out the batteries and place the used ones in a discharge machine. If the paks were not used we would change the batteries once every 2 weeks. We would take the unused batteries out and place them in the dicharge machine. Nothing worst then trying to zap someone with dead batteries. If you want to chance leaving it on charge all the time. Be my guess it is your life not mine.
  6. Hi all. I have a 20 foot center console made by Key Largo. I had a pilot house put on the boat a couple of years ago. I got tired of getting wet when the weather would turn bad. I fish mainly Cape Cod Bay. But on occation have been known to go to the south side.
