I just noticed all the notifications for this topic.

I am the original poster seeking help with my corrosion problem on my 04 Alumacraft Navigator 175. I lost a few nights sleep over the deal, then I called Alumacraft in St. Peter and talked to them.

They were wondering if I had an onboard battery charger, which I said I did. They said improper installation could be the cause, but at any rate they would need to inspect it and I would have to leave it for 2-3 months so they could decide course of action. I told them that once they figured it out, I wanted to have a quote before they fixed anything which they said they would do.

The boat sat down there for about 4 months. One day I got a call and they said it was ready for pickup. I asked what they ended up doing and they said they replaced the entire transom. I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I asked what the bill was? They said that Alumacraft had a 1x fix on any product defects or faulty workmanship, and mine fell into these categories.

They never said exactly what caused the corrosion, but in the end materials and labor were covered by Alumacraft and my cost was $0.00.

Sorry to hear. Prayers sent.

I appreciate the replies.

Dutch…You are probably correct and I probably should abandon my idea and just go with renting a pontoon. I was just hoping I could utilize what I have and be able to try different waters.

Dave…Thanks for all the info and time spent replying. A couple excellent options that I will investigate.

jwellsy…Interesting idea.

Thanks again

I love my Modine heater and have for almost 30 years. 5 years ago I put a window air conditioner in and often wonder how I got by with out that.

WS

Nothing crazy about ther that. Good job!

WS

Congrats on the tag.

I have whacked a few by different means, always a fun adventure.

About all I will add is in my experience once the nuts drop the bears slack off on sweets. I always get well stocked up on nut based trail mix early. Once the bears stop hitting the sweets it’s often hard to find nuts as suppliers are out of stock.

Enjoy the hunt.

Now she is dead from her self inflicted gun shot

I despise Home Depots self check outs. I have been in there on a couple occasions when three or more employees had to come and try to get me checked out because the self checkout wouldn’t work.

Pretty stupid, not to mention a waste of everyones time especially mine. I mentioned a couple times to just check me out at one of the regular lanes, but oh hell no. I’m not even sure if they even have a lane other than the self chekout now days, as I haven’t been in there for years.

WS

Thanks for the reply.

My wife does excellent pulling the boat and backing down the ramps. Her only issue is hooking up by herself. I will check out the camera in your link, it looks like it should fill the bill.

Thanks again!

WS

I like big women and I have the machinery to stop them.

WS

Sorry for your loss. A very tough time.

WS

Good job, excellent video

WS

Happy Birthday!

Tony Roach is a class act. I have went with him a few times and due to my mobility problems he always watched out for me, which isn’t always the case with some. His prices are very reasonable if you decide to tag along for the day.

WS

Sorry for your loss

I have tried a couple brands but now use just one, Millenium.

I have both the ladder and hang on version. I hunt dark to dark and have never had a problem with fidgeting or a sore spot.

Definitely worth the money.

In high school shop class we did wood turning . I don,t remember the chemical. But it came in 5 gallon buckets . The raw wood was submerged for several days. It was pulled and dried . When treated it turned like butter. This was done to various hardwoods .It was cool to turn bowls that way , it just made it so easy , and it stabilized the wood. Still have one 46 years old and no cracks .

Peg 1000?

We have a lot of kayak experience unfortunately nothing we use would be considered a beginner kayak.

During the summer months some places offer a night each week where you can try some out.
Definitely worth taking advantage of.

We started eating “Pizza Pub” pizza in Pine City in the mid 70’s and never needed to look further. We have tried different locations and the N Branch Pub left us down about 4 times before we moved on to the Center City Pub. A lot depends on who is making it and like most jobs if they have their game on or are just going through the motions.

WS

We bought a gas range and a dishwasher from them a couple years ago. Start to finish, a class act.

WS

Thank you very much for all the responses.
