Was lucky to afford my vacation property (cottage) on Minocqua chain in 1994 at age 27 for $140k. People thought I was crazy as it was just a cottage. Built a home on it and approaching one million right now. Almost as good as my investment in Apple! Nothing like being out on your boat and...

It is an added on heating pad put under seat with a control switch. Used to work fine in early years, but have not used in much in past 5 years.

It seems to be working normal again. Middle position is off and no light. Upper position is high heat (red). Lower position is low heat (green). How does one disconnect this switch? I dont use the heater at all. Can one just snip the wires that go to the switch?

Sometime there will be light on for all 3 positions. Sometimes no lights at all. I think the middle position is "off". Push up for high. Push it down for low, This is like a boat switch, like high fan, up, middle is off, low fan is down. That is what I orignally thought the settings were and...

I just checked it again in garage, if i move switch all the way down, no light at all . If I move it to middle position, light red light, if I move it all the way up, bright red light.....Maybe I am wrong in thinking the middle switch is "off".

Attached is a guage my mechanic installed on my skidoo 12 years ago for a heater we put under my seat. The guage has 3 settings. I know for a fact the top setting is max heat. I always thought the middle switch was for "off", and the lower switch being "low heat". In my garage now, I...

I know what you mean about cedar wood turning grey, as a section of my dock has turned grey, but the house siding has no grey at all... House was made by Custom Components, and was prestained when purchased. Have put " cetol 2/3" stain coats on it about 3 times since 2000. Sides are darker than...

My house is 25 years old, build with new cedar siding. I stained the house around 3 times so far, every 4 years at the beginning. But have not stained it in about 10 years. I do wash the siding each year with a house wash and house. The siding does seem to be holding up well, has darkened...

What are prices on new yamaha jet boats? I see the other vendor (Scarab) now is charging about $37k for a new 155 boat...I paid $14k for the new sea doo. This is insane.

I bought it new in 2012, the last model seadoo jet boat made. Still have original impleller and o-ring. Maintained every year. However, have had two twigs stuck in past two weeks, and have gone years without twig problems. I put boat on lift and go inside with long screwdriver to get out the...

ERA is open till 9pm most nights in the summer. Have not eaten there yet.

I talked with a neighbor and have an answer. The deicer was fine the whole winter and neighbor thinks the boat waves in spring lifted it up out of the water when he left for Florida in April. Ice was 90 percent melted when he left. Nobody was seen on the dock in winter. I will still put a...

No feuds with neighbors, and small hole in winter......put deicer in around Feb 15.......only run deicer for hour in morning and night......only used 3 bolts to screw it in, not 4.....I see one bolt on bottom of lake right by the end of dock where the deicer is located....

Upon further review, I am thinking a rock or piece of wood got stuck in the impellor, which made it not able to turn in the water. The unit froze and the ice pushed the unit up out of the dock (screws included)....My friend said a piece of debris was in the unit when he pulled it out of the...
