I understand issues 1 thru 7, but what does being polish have anything to do with your boat?

As seriousness though, my passenger side captains chair is also wobbling, but its where the chair pole itself connects into the base. The base is fine, but just seems like something is missing where the two meet. Quick fix is taking two wooden splints and jamming them up either side of the post. Otherwise, gonna try to find some kind of gasket I can fit into it. Chair is fine, its just annoying.

    Uh?........Oh, I get it now, ha ha ha....

    Now for the post....the seat post should be secured to the base by one or two set screws accessed from underneath the base. Remove the base from the floor, flip it over and tighten the screws (use a little "Loc-Tight" too) and the post should be as good as new!

    Still trying to squeeze in a little more boating before summer is completely gone so it's off to the lake during the Labor Day Weekend

    We're taking a new family out this time (their son is in the same class as our daughter) for some water fun and to check out another camp site. Weather is supposed to be clear and in the low 80's so it ought to be great on the water as long as I we can avoid the DUI boaters. God knows, I've had my share of close calls over the years......

    Well enough with the negative thoughts, just clear out the 'ol head and think fun, fun, fun...

    "See" everyone later!

    I've got the same problem. My lake has a spot at the north end of it, that is about 3-5 feet deep where you can get out of the boat and walk around and stuff. Well these guys (with boats ranging from 24-30 feet long, usually about 4-8 of them) sit there from noon until dark, then you can hear them come hammering down the lake (25mph speedlimit at night) wide open going to the bar. Then about.... 2AM you hear them all hammering back to the launch to pull out for the night. They're back sunday to. Ah well, leave before they do and your all set!

    Arizona lake season never ends, dry suit for the winter and the lakes don't freeze.

    Most people around here start to give up right after Labor Day. I'm going to try and prolong my season as much as possible, since I really haven't gotten a chance to enjoy it much this year. With the weeks of repair, plus the weather not being too cooperative, I might just have to say this season wasn't a real good one.

    I officially have to have my boat out of the harbor by Halloween, but if the weather's still OK and we're not into freezing temps, I'll just launch at the public ramp myself. I'll just have to keep hooded sweatshirts on board!
