Capt. Tom Siwarski at Carolina Aero Marine. Fished with him last year after he was highly recommend, and we SLAYED the fish. https://www.carolinaaeromarine.com/ If he's booked, he will point you too another reputable charter.

T&H Mini Jacker.

Hwew, just give that motor to me. You don't use it enough. I can be there tomorrow at 5:30.

Freeze a milk jug full of water. Put it inside the tank when you fill it up. Have another one in your cooler if you're planning to be on the water for more than 4-5 hours.

I have an 81 Japanese built Mariner 25 hp (mfg by Yamaha). The prop that came on it is really beat up and I would like to find a cheap replacement. Does anyone have a 9 7/8" or 10" 10 spline prop in 10.5-12 pitch in good condition? Stainless would be great, but I'm looking to stay budget. Also...

I noticed that the park police that patrol the riverwalk in San Antonio have 4 stroke 9.9 Yamaha motors that are rigged to run on propane.

Sweet, let us know how the pods work out. I've often wondered if pods introduce additional drag, this reducing the top end speed.

Cliff, where did you find the manual? Would love to have a copy.

Excellent. Thanks, fellers.

Mine's an 87, and I think my buddy has an 89 duracraft, so they were at least made until then. I think the war eagle guys bought the old molds recently and began manufacturing them again.

I have a 1981 Mariner (Yamaha built) 25hp motor. It's a short shaft tiller with E-start. It's a 695 model 25C with the thru-prop exhaust. I can give more info if needed. I can't seem to find a reliable range for the max RPM at WOT for this motor. I'm trying to get it set up right and need this...
