I bought my hand operated bilge pump for $10 at Rays Outdoors.

I have had the same issue with the rudder being hard to raise and lower on the water. Great to see the way you are customising it.

Great work Cheater. I like how you have run the anchor trolley through the empty upper holes in the line holders for the grab ropes. I use these for the running lines for my sail. The steel plate for the sounder looks cool too. That is designed to have the cables running through the plate for when y...

Awesome, you'll love it. I always wanted the ice box, but at $399 retail I couldn't justify it. Be careful of bolts rattling off it when it's new. I lost the black ones from the back of the seat over a couple of trips while driving, and also the shackle off one side of the rudder. Doesn't happen any...

When I got it back it worked for about a week and went faulty again, and they wouldn't issue another return aut...
