Looks a a some! Cant wait to see how it turns out.

I have the plano 787. Its bulky and heavy but i like it. I hate the zippers On the bags. Nothing ruins your day like mono caught in a zipper.

Any bottle rocket fights? That keeps you on your toes!

I love my power drive. Cant go wrong.

Its on a 1752 lowe rough neck. Its in my barn making my 1448 look small.

A freind bought a boat with a motor guide trolling motor on it. It says 101lb 36volt but its wired 24 volt. The guy said he had a dealer change it to 88 lb trust. Anybody ever heard of doing this? Why would you do this?

Started right up ran good at full throttle for 2 minutes and slowly died. Fired back up and ran perfect the rest of the day. Issues are better but not solved.

I cut my shaft down but not the wires. There was plenty of room in the shaft for the wires to fit in. I wouldn't use anything hotter than propane. You don't want to melt the aluminum.

It's a 1975. Got it back together and in the test tank. Ran good for 20 minuits, I'll have it on the water this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Replace the needle valve while your at it. Mine gave me fits and its $5.

Just got my parts. The new valve has a spring on it. I don't remember the old needle having one. Might be why it's sticking

Changing the needle valve and float on my 9.8 mercury. Is there a way to set it or just put it in?

I used different size deep well socked and drove them in to open it up. Still not perfect but I can get a plug to seal. Works better if I plug from the outside.

I ordered from cabelas but they dont have them any more.

I've had good luck with the jb weld. Just scuff the area good with rough sand paper to give it something to stick to. I was wandering about ll tis epoxy everyone is using. It seals up great but when damage happens... And it will. Nothing will stick to it. Cant weld with it on there. I used some...
