Re: Appraisal: 1989 Eagle Tandem Axel Trailer

To close up this thread - I posted the trailer for sale on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist in West Michigan for $1,000 USD. There were 14 inquiries in less than 24 hours. This morning I accepted a deposit of $200 for the trailer site unseen. It will be picked up sometime in May. Full price offer...

Re: Coaxial Transmission Line Outer Insulating Jacket Damage

Phil and Jim - Thanks for the information and link - I'm going to plan on making the temporary repair using the liquid tape as a temporary measure while planning for the full replacement. I will report back with updates as progress is completed. Thanks again!

Re: Coaxial Transmission Line Outer Insulating Jacket Damage

Thanks Phil - The alternative to liquid tape is to splice in a new section for this +/- 1.5 feet? I assumed (likely incorrectly) that splicing would be difficult on the antenna end and could [affect] performance.

Re: 1996 Outrage 24 Toilet and Bracket

Butch--thanks for the sage advice.

I am hoping that the porta-potti will be a destination of last resort--head to the woods first, kids.

Not yet, Jim. She's tucked into the barn for the winter. I am sure the kids will test thoroughly next season.

Re: 1996 Outrage 24 Toilet and Bracket

After a shorter 2020 boating season than anticipated (but very good nonetheless) I finally had the chance to install the new porta-potti that I purchase from West Marine late this 2020 summer. The porta-potti I ordered and installed is the THETFORD Porta Potti® 135 Portable Marine Head, model 795982...

Re: Dual Battery Controls and Configuration

Thank you, Jim.
Your article and diagrams are extremely helpful. Much more robust information and clearer detail than the factory manual, actually.

My understanding of the 1 and 2 positions is now much clearer. Looking forward to launching her for the first time tomorrow.

Re: 1996 Outrage 24 Toilet and Bracket

Happy to confirm that the boat is in my driveway and getting a good going over. Also happy to confirm that, as the group suggested, the bracket for the head is in place and ready to receive a new porta potti.

Re: 1996 OUTRAGE 24 Ride and Stability

jimh—Even Worse!
I've discovered that it is nearly August and she's still stuck in Sarnia. Planning to trailer her over these lovely Michigan highways whenever the importer can get her here. I recently abandoned hope of waiting for the border to open.

Wish me luck.

Re: 1996 Outrage 24 Toilet and Bracket

Thanks so much to everyone. I don't have access to the boat which is in Canada and I'm in Michigan.

I can see now what is being referenced. I will take a look when I am next aboard.

ACASSIDY--any photos from your rig would be exceptionally helpful.

Thanks again to all.

Re: 1996 Outrage 24 Toilet and Bracket

PHIL--many thanks for the pointer to the drawing and quick reply. There may be more involved in replacing the missing toilet than just ordering one off the shelf. If my interpretation is correct it looks like the Sani-Potti is the easy part but the base assembly to attach to the track will be more d...

I currently own a 2004 Tiara Coronet 2900 and a 2006 Boston Whaler Montauk 170. The Tiara is a brilliant boat but has proven to be more than our family needs or has time for. I would be interested in trading the Tiara as part of acquiring a larger Whaler. Ideally something in the 25-feet range. If s...
