Hope you had fun, Don.





Had the mechanic look at my Mercury 60 Big Foot yesterday and discovered that in addition to the wiring for a trim gauge being present in the wiring harness, my motor had the sender already installed (from the Chinese factory?).

Since that reduced the cost to the gauge and an hours labour, I told him to go ahead and order a trim gauge that would match the 4 other gauges already installed in my console.



He'll call me when it comes in and we'll make an appointment for the install.

I'll have one spot left for a 2" gauge after this ... guess I should have asked him what would have been a useful instrument to add.

I'm thinking maybe an oil pressure gauge...or an engine temperature gauge.

I'd like to check the engine impeller status while underway without having to turn all the way around, but I suppose a small mirror could handle that.



Get a pitch and roll indicator to compliment your trim indicator.

What about an altimeter? It's good to know what the sea level is.



Absolutely. And a backup camera.

Y'all southern boys sure do need a lot before proceeding away from the dock.
You should come up here and we'll teach you to do more with much less.

It's amazing that the ones who whine and cry the loudest about snarling
non-boating posts are the first to **** all over a boating post.


Hank, aka FlaJim, is a boatless asshole. W'hine is an asshole who thinks
that unless you have a "beeeeeg" boat, you should stay out of his ocean.

Off for a bit of boating..

If it were properly placed, one could check one's trim quite easily.

Carnack the magnificent you are not.

Seasoned boaters, clueing in the clueless about boating equipment and
outfitting a boat, is not, as you two morons say, "****ting on a boating
post". If ,in your infinite wisdom, you were to advise Donnie against
such purchases of dubious value, he might have actually listened to you.
But when the bonehead gets something implanted, it's hard to chisel it out.

Do you believe that? I don't. If he had one he'd be spending more

In addition to what size boats people should have before venturing out
into the ocean, W'hine now also wants to dictate how people should spend
their time.

Don't you remember YOU telling us what the maximum size boat that was
appropriate for our use. You also went on to say what horsepower we
needed. Anything in excess of your recommendations was labeled, oh I
forget, but definitely something obscene. As it turns out, your boat at
the time, happened to be right at the high end.

Believe a story like that? No.

That's right up there with going around the Horn, twice.
