What's New?
FMany boaters are hesitant to do more to care for a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) than occasionally spraying it down with water. This streamlined approach is often due to a fear of damaging the life jacket. But the truth is that proper cleaning actually helps maintain the integrity of a life jacket and can extend its life.
Fourteen Michiana Singles anglers found good fishing on the St. Joseph River at Maggies Landing last Thursday despite muddy water and strong current.

If EPA has Its Way with More Ethanol, Our Engines May Be in Trouble
- Details
(Provided by BoatUS)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is asking for comments on a proposal to increase the amount of ethanol that must be blended into the nation's fuel supply for 2015 and 2016.
If adopted, these proposed levels will require the use of a record amount of ethanol, forcing higher-level fuel blends (including E15 or 15% ethanol) into more gas stations. Remember that most marine engines are built to only work with up to 10% ethanol and itís prohibited to use gas containing more than 10% ethanol in all marine engines.
Please take a moment to go to www.capwiz.com/boatus/utr/1/EWXDUYRXXD/KWXKUYTXED/10931147561 and send a message urging the EPA to lower the ethanol mandates to ensure an adequate supply of fuel that will work in your boat.
