My friend who has a house in Soda Bay showed me pictures and the water at clear lake is all the way to his retaining wall and he usually has like 15 yards of beach. Part of his dock that is usually on the beach is under water. I drove to Sacramento last week on I5 and the fields right out side of Stockton all the way to Elk Grove where flooded. They had to let out water from Anderson since it was over flowing and it flooded South San Jose and closed 101. It's been a crazy winter here in Cali.

Hey Etz, Saw this on craigslist and thought maybe you might be interested. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/bpo/5752099978.html

Hey Enzo101 I saw this today on the fire on Lake Naci. https://www.facebook.com/MCPRA/videos/vb.1083849048330143/1086118068103241/?type=2&theater

so I saw this today on FB. Looks like a cross between the suckgate and that skateboard ramp mod. $214 https://www.wakesurfedge.com/

saw this on youtube for a homemade suckgate. This was a 2002 supra Direct Drive.

Saw this on the news for all you California Delta boaters in the Discovery Bay area. http://abc7news.com/health/water-tests-positive-for-toxic-algae-in-discovery-bay/1444452/

Hey Lake How did your daughter do in this passed weekend event? I passed the event while we were driving by on our way up to the lake. Hey did you guys go to the Bacon Festival that was going on across the freeway? It looked like it was packed when we passed it on Sunday afternoon.

Hey Chowder, are they going to develop those 400+ delta lots on Bethel island? I know the developer went bankrupt during the 08 crash and they finished all the lots and docks but never built Poidog

Sorry I meant the Yeti 45. It just didn't seem that you could put that much in that cooler. Might have to go with the 65 or 75 but they didn't have either in stock. Guess since its so well insulated you don't need all the ice that we typically use when we go camping.

Took a look at the yeti 40 today. That thing can't hold that much. I'm guessing a 6 pack of beer, 2 apples, 2 subway sandwiches, and a bottle of water plus about 3lbs of ice. The good thing is you'll be done eating everything at the end of the day but the ice will still be there. Forget about taking it camping if you are going for more than a day.

Boat guy: Yea dog, I'd like some 20's on my trailer Wheel shop: Uh, I don't think they will fit bro. Boat guy: I don't care how you get them to fit, I want to be rollin on 20's like my slammed dually Wheel shop: Say no more!

2014 FX44. This is what happens when you order a centurion while drinking too much eggnog during the Christmas season and when you get it you discovered that color combo just doesn't look good on a $100k boat. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/bod/5593228839.html

just thought that I'd share this article about this issue since people go boating on the Colorado River. It's a rare case but it can happen. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article75413132.html

Hey Shaggs, are you on lake oroville?

Hey Pauld When you flush the lines, did you use a self bleeding brake kit or is there a way to pump the brake lines. I have a V&M trailer and haven't found a link or youtube video on how to bleed my trailer brake lines. Poidog

Hey guys, I know a lot of us are getting ready for boating season now that the weather is warming up. If you have a optima battery that's not charging up and you think it might be dead, don't throw it out before you try the recovery option #2. I was talking to a rep at the car show and he said 8 out of 10 batteries that come back aren't dead and you just have to do a simple jump start on it to get it charged back up. Poidog Charging Your AGM Battery Tech Tips – Powered by OPTIMA® Batteries Tech Tip #3 – Don't Throw Away Your "Dead" AGM Battery: Three Tips on Resuscitating a Deeply Discharged AGM Battery Like a ghost story, sometimes the seemingly dead really aren't dead at all. The same may be true for your deeply discharged AGM battery. In time, AGM batteries, including OPTIMA® batteries, may fail. Typically, failures are often caused when a starting battery is used in a cycling application, for which a deep-cycle battery is the better choice. OK, so you have a seemingly bad AGM battery, you attach it to your charger and…CLICK. The charger won't even charge it! "It must be a bad battery!" you exclaim. Or is it? In many cases, OPTIMA batteries that are assumed to be bad may actually be perfectly fine, just deeply discharged. The great thing about AGM batteries, including OPTIMA REDTOP® and YELLOWTOP®batteries, is that they have incredibly low internal resistance. This allows very high amperage output allowing the battery to power your accessories longer and deeper than a traditional battery, but at the same time deeply discharging it. An AGM battery with its low internal resistance may stump car guys because sometimes it doesn't work like a traditional flooded lead-acid battery. Here's the problem: most battery chargers have built-in safety features that may prevent chargers from recharging deeply discharged batteries. A traditional battery that's at 10.5 volts or less is seen as defective, having either a short, a bad cell or some other defect. Most analog chargers are binary and are either on or off. If they don’t come on, it may be because the charger thinks the battery is “bad.” Turning on to charge a “bad” battery could create an unsafe scenario. But the fact is that the AGM battery may be just fine; it has simply slipped below the minimum voltage threshold of the charger to turn on and the charger doesn't know what to do with the battery, so it does nothing. Here are three options for bringing that deeply discharged AGM battery back to peak operational performance. So grab your jumper cables and charger and…CLEAR! Recovery Option #1: The Best Solution – AGM-Specific Chargers The best method for recharging a deeply discharged AGM battery is to purchase a modern charger that has kept up with battery technology. Many chargers now have AGM-specific settings and desulfation steps that help recondition and recover deeply discharged AGM batteries. These are becoming more common, and they work well for all lead-acid batteries. They have the additional capability of doubling as a battery "maintainer" for batteries in storage. Some come with additional ring terminals to permanently attach to your battery leads so you can charge the battery externally with an accessible charger or maintainer. This makes it easy to hook up when you store your car, truck, boat or RV. The OPTIMA® Chargers Digital 1200 12V Performance Battery Charger and Maintainer enhances the performance of OPTIMA and other AGM batteries, recovers deeply discharged batteries and extends battery life. The OPTIMA® Chargers Digital 1200 12V Performance Battery Charger and Maintainer are optimized when used with high-performance AGM batteries but has enhanced charging capabilities that can also be used with all traditional types of automotive batteries. This is the preferred method of charging a deeply discharged battery. Recovery Option #2: The DIY Solution This is a recovery method for the do-it-yourselfer using the equipment you've got in the garage. With this option, you're going to trick your traditional charger into charging the deeply discharged AGM battery. Here's what you need: · Battery charger (under 15-amps) · Jumper cables · A good battery, preferably above 12.2 volts. (It can be an AGM or flooded battery, it doesn't matter.) · The seemingly dead, deeply discharged AGM battery · A voltage meter · A watch or timer Now, here's what you do: 1. Hook up the good battery and deeply discharged AGM battery in parallel – positive to positive and negative to negative. Do not have the charger connected to the battery or turned on at this stage. 2. Now, hook up the good battery to the charger. Turn on the charger. The charger will "see" the voltage of the good battery (hooked up in parallel), and start providing a charge. 3. After the batteries have been hooked up for about an hour, check to see if the AGM battery is slightly warm or hot to the touch. Batteries naturally become warm during charging, but excessive heat may be an indication that there really is something wrong with the battery. Discontinue charging immediately if the battery is hot to the touch. Also discontinue the process if you hear the battery "gassing" — a hissing sound coming from the safety valves. If it's hot or gassing, STOP CHARGING IMMEDIATELY! 4. With your voltage meter, check back often to see if the AGM battery has charged to 10.5 volts or above, this generally takes less than two hours with a 10-amp charger. If it has, disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and remove the good battery from the charger. Now, connect only the deeply discharged AGM battery to the charger. Turn on the charger and continue until the AGM battery reaches a full charge, or until the automatic charger completes the charge process. In most cases, the AGM battery will be recovered. Recovery Option #3: Enlist the Professionals If you don't own a battery charger, you don't want to make the investment, or you're not the do-it-yourself kind of person, this is the option for you. Take the battery to a professional battery specialist who knows AGM technology. Most specialists are willing to provide "charge and check" procedures free or for a small fee. Auto parts stores are typically not capable of accurately determining an AGM battery's condition and many use conductance testers that don't provide correct readings. Battery specialists (like Interstate Batteries and other independent battery distributors) are experts who can help determine if your battery is recoverable or not.

I have the same boat and I got 4 car dollies online and I put the trailer tires on the the dollies once its in the garage and I am able to push my boat by myself around the garage. It allows me to move it so its butted up to the garage wall so I can park our car inside. You will have to put down your beer since you'll need to get a good push or that sucker won't move.
