Boating Information

Whether on the water for fishing, recreation or just plain relaxing there are some things everyone should know about boats and boating. From boating safety to getting the right prop for your boat, Lake-Link wants to help make your next venture out on the water a safe and enjoyable one.

Outboard Buying Tips

If you're in the market for an outboard motor, whether it's a high-performance outboard for a bass boat or a small h.p. portable outboard used as a kicker on a walleye boat, the cheapest price isn't necessarily the best buy. Get some tip on how to choose the best outboard for your boating application.

Boating Courtesy

Courtesy on the water is something every boater should practice. Unfortunately many boaters don't. Read Captain Ted's top 10 failures of boating courtesy.

The Right Prop

Getting the performance out of your boat just may start at the back end of the boat. Learn about what the right prop can do for your boat by propeller expert Brett Anderson owner of BBlades Professional Propellers.
