    Texoma August 14-15

    I heard it would take 60-90 days for Texoma to get back down to conservation level. And that was with no additional rain. At this point, the water level in August is not a huge concern - it will be down enough. The bigger question is what will be the condition of facilities at campsites and...

    In Boat Wireless (WiFi) Repeater

    I like your term "semi-directional". :thumbsup: Us engineers would prefer call them that, but the marketing people changed it :banghead: I'm not sure there is an issue with disrupting other boaters, but it just makes sense to focus the limited amount of energy towards a land based station...

    In Boat Wireless (WiFi) Repeater

    I was thinking along the same lines. The term "directional" antenna is actually a vague term. In fact, ALL antennas are directional in some way. Except of course for the theoretically perfect Isotropic Radiator which would radiate equally in three dimensions at 100-percent efficiency. That...

    Warm Water Exit on H.O.'s

    Completely normal at idle or "now-wake" speeds. Keep in mind that the "pee" holes are just indicators that water is flowing. They are not the full amount of water flowing through the engine. Most of the cooling water goes out the exhaust.

    Alternative method for lots of amp hours in a battery bank?

    More specifically, you add volts (but not amps) when you connect them in series and you add amps (but not volts) when you connect them in parallel. Using the Energizer golf cart batteries example (208aH @ 6v): You can connect two in series to get 208 amp hours @ 12 volts You can connect two...

    Better Floor Locker Door now!

    Yeah that would drive me nuts too. Older models didn't have that issue, odd they would change it that way.

    What retractable transom strap do you recommend?

    Curious what you are more impressed with on the Reese? Or less impressed with the Boat Buckles? As far as I could tell everything else tried to copy/mimic what Boat Buckles already have.

    What retractable transom strap do you recommend?

    Exactly. The metal ratcheting mechanism got sloppy over time. They still "worked" per-se, but just got sloppy and the locking mechanism would slip a tooth or jam up. All of the products seemed great at first, but got worse over time. I didn't have any that fell apart completely. Only the true...

    What retractable transom strap do you recommend?

    I am the poster child for buying the cheaper-but-just-as-good (or so I think) products, only to have them fail and end up buying the original top-name-brand in the end. :shy: Clearly the factory "manual" straps are a pain compared to the ratchets. So when my boat was new I quickly replace the...
