    Depth Finder questions

    Well that would really suck - I'd need at least 4,840 feet for a 30 second measurement. Practicality comes in to play.

    Rain rain rain ...

    Guys, I'm in a different boat than you (ha, a pun!). Lake Michigan is down about 9" from last year. We need water! I hope it rains until July. Turns off until Halloween, then snows and rains until next July. Sorry.....

    Mr BT - need a part looked up

    Hello BT Can you check if any other part number updates or interchanges with a Mercury "47370a" or a-1? This is a bellows for a SSMIII or SSMIV. Maybe more. I've heard early alphas too. Or better yet, is there a site I can go to and look up this and others?

    I went boating last Friday May 7th.

    Yup, 42" with middle drive up. We had to dredge and repair our collapsed sea wall 3 years ago. Between the two, over $140,000 in work. The river is brutal. I'm fairly confident the sand will wash out. If not, well, I have my little drag boat, a jetski, and my antique Glaspar, and lotsa...

    I went boating last Friday May 7th.

    I went out too. To find a deep enough path to our slips. The best I could find was 3 ft depth. Sure hope the lake comes up soon, or we get a bunch of rain so the sand gets washed out to the lake.

But I would not go out in anything over a foot, or with any weather front anywhere nearby. If there are large boats out there, their wakes could capsize you. Those bass boats...

    Tansom Height and Engine Selection

    I am taking a guess here - guys with short outboard drives need a lower transom, and guys with long need a higher transom. Since the engine is in the way of everything back there, I like more freeboard, thus, a higher transom. Sux having water gush in the back when you stop suddenly.

    I christen thee the "Cat Yak"....

    Anchor rode should be 7 times depth, plus you should have 5-10 of chain at the anchor! Out in big swells, you want 10 times depth.
