re: Trolling motor recs for bay boat

Posted by Redlos on 10/10/24 at 3:06 pm

I’d go with a 36V, bayboats sit high in the water and on windy days you will want the extra power. I have a MK Ulterra (self deploy) and would not buy again. I’d prefer a manual deploy as I’ve had a couple weekends messed up with broken belts and prob on the deploy/stow. Now MK has redesigned ...

I really wanted the tried and true 5.7 V8…. however, if you want to game the system, you could always buy a newer version with the twin turbo V6, they will be replacing all of those engines over the next few years so you could basically get a brand new engine and a vehicle with 30 to 40,000 miles...

Carmax has plenty of 20-21 Tundras with less than 30K miles in the low to mid $40K range. I think you could double that mileage on a Tundra and still be safe. Could see if they offer extended warranty but Tundras are super reliable as others have said. Glad I bought my ‘20 TRD Pro right before CO...

re: Running a generator through a dryer outlet

Posted by Redlos on 9/10/24 at 10:36 am

Also realize your “suicide” cord will be male prongs and could be energized if plugging into a dryer plug. A correct transfer switch /interlock setups will terminate in female ends that provide more protection and force you to shutoff main breaker to energize generator input breaker. After IDA, I...

re: Whole home, standby generator

Posted by Redlos on 9/10/24 at 10:28 am

That’s gonna be pretty expensive I’d imagine. Gotta call utility and some contractors for a real cost as the location and market will vary on price. Prob cheaper to get one that runs on propane and get a 500 gallon tank. But a couple backup carbs from Amazon, always need to drain fuel in gener...

Make sure it’s the actual caliper bolt torque vs the mounting bracket bolts. Call a dealer if there’s a doubt. Always torque caliper bolts to the proper amount…don’t ask me how I know...

Biggest issue with Surface Pro is inability to replace battery which has a finite lifespan. I used one for work last 4 years and just replaced with a Dell. Laptop was fine but battery would only last 30 mins not plugged in…..was a good laptop other than that....
