OK, it's somethign that I can live without, but concerning my alpha one mercruiser trim gauge doesn't work. I dont' need it. but I think it would be nice to have if I could get it working without having to overhaul something. I've noticed a lot of used boats on ebay that have mercruiser drives, and the ads will state something like "Everything works but the trim gauge" or something to that effect. Anybody know what I should look for and maybe what the common malady is? another thing is that...

I went back to a local shop I hadn't been to in a number of years and, as I suspected, I found that it has closed. I'd like to find a vendor somewhere in metro Atlanta if possible, but at this point it seems my preference may not be realisitic. Anyway, any help or referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

Last year all spring and summer long I had good topwater action in the evenings on the river. This year it has been sporadic until yesterday. Here's my fishing report. *** I took another newbie out on the water this afternoon. We started learning to flip by working the Fisher bank. I managed three 1.5 to 1.8 keepers and missed two bites. Typical small keeper action. My guest was having some confidence issues with the concept of flipping so I decided to fish a little backwater cover with a...

I once did a calculation of lightning strike probability for a lone sailboat and unfortunately I lost it and am too lazy to repeat it. It was based on the number of lightning strikes per surface area per year in a given area times the cone of protection area produced by a mast of certain height and taking into account how much you sailed. What I got was a number expressing the probability of a lone sailboat under a storm being hit by lightning, it was surprisingly high. I had a long argument about...

There is a dam with four or five feet of drop right in downtown Des Moines. Some guy went over with a twenty foot Bayliner. There was a crane working nearby, and they lowered a very strong guy on a cable, who grabbed the victim. I guess you go around and around in the boil at the foot of the dam, and a live jacket doesn't help, you still drown eventually. The crane had a clamshell bucket and they bit off a couple of feet of the bow, but it got away....

I live in a dry area. I want to replace some wood on my boat. Is marine plywood an absolute necessity, or would a good grade of sanded one side suffice? About the only time it would get wet would be when it is outside and it rains, and we get less than two inches annually. Steve...

Fished a Northwoods Classic once...7 years ago? Still have a box of SWL's (looks like they've come quite a way since I was last here). I see from the website that Bob passed a couple of years ago; rest in peace my friend. And Huber is...

Well, it looks like this old Wisconsin boy is going to become a Tennessean! Janet and I are heading down Sunday morning to Paris Tennessee and begin our search for a house to rent. I've got a couple of them to look at, but I don't want to commit to anything until I see it! So hopefully in the next couple of days we'll find a house and do the move during the first week of August. This will be the end of an era. G & S Guide Service is just going to be "G Guide Service" as I'm going...

Just wondering if soft scented worms lose much of their scent once outside the plastic bag. Is there a way to "refresh" them with some sort of microwave trick? My box is always full of worms that are in good shape but I just can't tell if they are no longer smelly enough for the fish....
