I was struggling with the lack of cooler space in my V, I wanted to keep the area behind the console clutter free so the logical approach was to make the changes in front of the console. I removed the original “just for looks” (small front cooler seat) and somehow fit in one of my 152 qt...

Ok guys, here's another challenge; Every time I start the engine both my fishfinder and gps turn off, I know these units are programmed to do just that so they react to the drop of power tacking by the starter. Have you experienced this pain in the bu++ problem, if so what did you do to...

As I was replacing a coupe of lights on the trailer, I realize that my 98 Dodge Truck has no power to the running lights, I mean the wires are connected and everything looks like it was done professionally, however the 12 volt tester shows no power on the running light pins. Only the brakes and...

Guys , the other day I bought a set of NGK spark plugs and installed’em on my 150 Ocean Runner, I adjusted the gap at .035 as recommended and went to the lake for a spin. The motor ran at the same top speed but it sounded a bit rough at idle. With your vast experience with OB’s, what spark...

Guys I just received one of many things that I have on my wish to do list for the boat. It’s a Racor fuel filter with a 316 grade stainless steel bracket. Yep, this bracket will outlive me for sure. ??? :P With all the latest fuel additives you have to have one of these babes, take a look:

Hey guys I have all the accent/trim pieces from my V fisherman in my garage ready to be cleaned and polished. I must say that I don’t want to stain the wood… Now comes the big questions, what product you guys use to clean teak other than the orbital sander and what marine polyurethane will...

Hey guys I'm starting to look around for a kicker/trolling motor for my V20 CC. For a variety of reasons I would prefer a four stoke. I troll for stripers and occasionally for trout and such on the lake. I’m thinking a 10 horse would do fine. What do you think, is a 10 horse adequate for...

Some of you know that I just got this trailer, so I decided to make my own safety inspection on the suspension. When I removed my trailer tires for winter, I started removing one bolt at the time and got to the point where there’s no return! ??? The trailer it’s only a few years old so...

Hey Gang! After last night’s raccoon shift, it took me awhile to get going today. One very large coffee and I was ready to start my first winterizing task in a few years. I read Tin Man’s decarburization (is that a word?)  with SeaFoam, and decided to do it before putting the boat away. Got a...

Hey there guys Are the newer V20 hulls shaped like the older ones, i.e. bow flare, dead rise angle, freeboard, beam etc. etc? I like the lines of the mid 70’s hulls, I wonder about the 90’s and newer models. :) Thanks Joe
