Re: Nautolex - Original White w/Charcoal Stripes

I would be interested and I think a lot of other BigM owners would be too, especially if this product were offered at a similar price to other current Nautolex offerings. All of the other faux-teak vinyl flooring brands are too expensive! You may wish to post your question to the facebook page too i...

Excellent Oil Changer Cheap and Quick

I purchased this Atwood hand-pump oil changer for about $40 at a local farm supply store. It originally had a very thin vinyl hose that plugged into the larger clear hose shown in the picture. I ditched the little hose and used a piece of 1/4 inch copper tubing. SO MUCH EASIER to install in the dips...

Re: VHF will transmit but I can't hear anyone

Thanks for the feedback! I am liking the idea of plugging the new DSC into the GPS...just purchased a new Garmin last year so the two would probably go together nicely.

VHF will transmit but I can't hear anyone

I have a Uniden Solara fixed-mount VHF radio. It has worked flawlessly since I installed a new Shakespeare antenna 3 years ago. Now all the sudden, when I turn it on, it lights up but does not make any sounds. I can transmit and others can hear me, but I cannot hear anything back regardless of my vo...

Re: Pertronix Distributor Test

Any idea if Pertronix makes a distributor for a 440? When you look in the "Marine" section of their catalog, it only mentions the 318.
