Tips For Maintenance and Fishing Safety
SAFETY TIPS: More on the wake discussion from Power Boating—Most states have a law that states “ all boat operators are responsible for operating their vessel in a reasonable and prudent manner with regard to other vessel traffic so as not to endanger people or property.” Even if you think you are abiding by the law it doesn’t take away the “reasonable and prudent factors.”
The worst wake speeds are between 6 and 22 mph. If you are already on plane and want to pass a boat without rocking it, you have two choices: remain on a fast plane and stay as far away as possible, or come off plane at least 100 yards from the other boat, idle past, and don’t resume speed until you are safely past the other boat.
MAINTENANCE TIPS: More on lug nuts. From Greg Hall. It pays to periodically exercise the lug nuts on your trailer. You don’t want to have a flat out there and find yourself unable to remove a frozen lug nut on a busy roadway. Even though people say you should not lubricate lug nuts I do so sparingly with Boeing T-9 spray about twice a year and let it dry before I screw the nuts back on. They have never loosened on their own and they don’t freeze up on me.
Walt Fink follows by saying he sprays his galvanized trailer wheels with a 50/50 mixture of motor oil and mineral spirits to keep them corrosion free. And from Yale---after having it pointed out to him at the Midway tournament that he was missing two lug nuts on his truck---better check your truck in addition to your trailer.
