    Automotive waxes???

    I am somewhat partial to black vehicles (and sleds) IMO...nothing looks better than a clean well polished black car. I have my mustang and I have it professionally cleaned once a year, namely to get that gray film off that others of you that own black vehicles know what I am referring to...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    Although I do miss the ease of being able to work on those older sleds I do not miss all the grease and grime that seemed to infiltrate every nook and cranny of the engine compartment and was as difficult to wash off as well used diesel oil LOL...

    Walleyes for Tomorrow 2026

    I hope he doesn't get upset for me saying so but dfattack was not only responsible but very much involved in restoring the musky population on his lake and you are correct Paul, like everything else out there few are aware of the work and commitment behind it all to make it possible! Keep up the...

    Walleyes for Tomorrow 2026

    Paul, although I am tossed on the whole "spearing" practice still done by Native Americans, I can honestly say I am neither for or against it, I recently watched a documentary titled "Badwater" in which I was surprised that or at least this tribe was very involved in repopulating walleye in...

    Shirley, You Can't Be Serious?

    we have same here with local dealers, wont work on anything more than 10 years old, wont get into brand names but having issues getting parts for products you wouldnt think would be OBS at this point, kinda sad really especially with cost of replacement equipment.

    Weather for 2026/2027

    Not saying I can do better and honestly I wouldn't want their job either but I have to laugh... they are already talking about "Super El Nino" for up coming winter season when they have a very hard time predicting weather even within a few hours, let alone months away. I'm also not going to lie...

    And so it starts...

    First of all CONGRADULATIONS!! to you both! Paul... "Right on time" that's good to hear! thanks to this unseasonal warm weather I'm sure, I was thinking this might have been one of the longest release time from winter for the Northwoods we've seen in a long time, We are only up in Sheboygan...

    Trolling set up

    Update on my trolling set up.... all I have left to do is hardwire the marine radio. there is nothing under the carpet on the rail except for aluminum and Styrofoam that is about 8" thick, with built in rod holder cavities inside of boat was a royal PITA to get it out. I keep my boat in one of...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    Kelly, just a tip and for others, some of you may know this and some may not, for bolts that are torqued and suspect there is also loc-tite and there is no real good way to get heat in there or may be in sensitive area where you dont want direct heat applied. A high Wattage soldering iron works...

    Make it stop!!

    in my neck of woods, ton of standing water in fields, rivers and creeks very high, supposed to get a little reprieve today then more storms tomorrow night, thought I had heard about a dam possibly failing in the U.P. can only imagine the melt run off they are having up there and in the north...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    Technically.... a plunger type choke set up is more of an enrichener more so than a choke because you are not "choking off" the air supply to privide a fuel charge required for starting, where as an enrichener is only providing an "enriched" fuel charge for starting, so in retrospect...Kawasaki...

    Arctic Cat's sales surge!

    Nice to see Munising Motorsports on that list, had to call on them last year, never stepped foot in their place before then, 3rd day of trip, showed up at their dealership that morning, got me in right away, owner and counter people very friendly, tech took me in back to show me what the problem...

    Arctic Cat's sales surge!

    this is not about how much Doo or Poo sold in comparison and one could argue it may be result of the winter we just had and undoubtedly is likely part of it but IMO... with Darling at the helm, some new and continuing improvements and some pretty dam good looking sleds its clear The Cat is back...

    Boat battery maintainer has flashing red light and wont charge boat battery.

    Penn and Deka batteries are only ones I would consider outside of Yuasa powersports batteries, as far as I know Exide purchased Interstate but I could be wrong. In my shop the most frequently replaced batteries are Duracell, Exide and FVP, FVP being one of the worst, wouldnt use one of those in...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    Very interesting Kelly, wonder what the thought process was behind that? and did any other manufacturers that you know of mount the engine in that fashion? I could be wrong and I understand the shims for proper alignment but wouldn't that design be difficult to maintain proper clutch alignment...
