Re: Best Cell Phone Service Reception on Berryessa????

I have Verizonwireless with a Motorola phone. You CAN'T hear me now anywhere near Markeley Cove all the way out of the narrows. Signal picks up somewhere between Little lsland and Putah, but is spotty. I've heard Motorolas have poor reception, so you might want to research the phone too.

Typically, boats come with group 27 size trays which will NOT fit group 29/31. Replacement group 31 trays are available if you decide to go that route. Group 31 will give you ...

Re: NFR- Skunk 3, Dogs 0! Any ideas???

I had the same problem. I used Simple Green on the dog's fur which got rid of about 90% of the smell. Probably not recommended since it is a harsh degreaser. But it removed most of the smell. Skunk spray is oil based and hard to completely remove. I read somewhere that groomers use Woolite. Tomato j...

Trim down -

Trim down all the way and give full throttle till you get up on pad then ease off the throttle.

Otherwise, if it is a Quicksilver Trophy Plus prop, you might need to play with the vent plugs around the hub of the Prop.
