Mini tugs have a special place for some people. Either you hate them, or reapect them. I can go out and put around burning a pint an hour......Where do i sign? Haha. Michigan city is amazing. Ate at many of the local restaurants near the marina.

Indeed fly, asked myself this question about five times since i replied. Wouldn't this cause the gas tank expand cauaing maybe a leak or worse the tank bursting from pressure?

Awesome info art. Seems pretty basic yet, extremely useful.

What is that a dehumidifier ART? Pretty neat set up.

Yes fly gasser. I most def take into consideration the whole gas....explosion thing lol....sry not funny. Never even thought about moisture in the vents. Thanks guys.

I live in illinois. Temps plummet to zero and stay for awile sometimes. So a bubbler is needed. Talking to a local harbor master he said...."piece of advise get a bilge heater". Just wondering if anyone has gone this route.

As for the grammar, im not upset by it. This is a forum not a formal grammatical school. Forums were intended to feed off each others information and knowledge. I have little knowledge of some stuff and is the reason im on here. Also why i ask a lot of questions and for the most part people...

I believe i will not work for a marina again. Rather just when i buy in the spring using it to go Marina to Marina and get side work.

Attempting to change an environment that has been the same for 30 years just is not going to happen. The owner simply does not care so long as money is coming in. The thought of working for a company set up like that makes me sick. Ill work for a smaller business that actually asks their...

No, no dealerships for me. Are marinas like this everywhere?
