One thing to think about……..ethanol wasn’t a thing when that motor was new. If you can’t get ethanol free gas make sure you bleed it dry (run it out) if you plan on it sitting for long periods.

Not a big one as far as stripers are concerned but hey….I didn’t get skunked. (about 18 inches)

Flex tape……that stuff sticks instantly……and stays. Glad to hear you guys came out of that unscathed.…..and that was good thinking on your part.

welcome Angie I like the changes. I use another site that I believe is the same engine…..or very similar. Easy to use…. The dark background option makes it look slick on an iPad. Jim….Thank you for running such a great site. This has been a wealth of information for me over the years.

……..or put a piece of white paper over it and shade the surface with a pencil.

What I can clearly see is the 10 hp max rating…….I wouldn’t put more than that on it……

I tried the turtle wax spray stuff……..gone as soon as you submerge it. It’s the price of admission with bare aluminum. Be careful using waxes. Some can stain bare metal.

I took a shot on the Cabela’s Red Head boots. It was difficult to find my size in stock for this style of boot. I have them now and they fit true to size. I tried them with thick and regular socks….both seem ok. I visually checked over all the seams for gaps and didn’t find any. It’s still...

Good ending to this story………… :D I wouldn’t go with a larger diameter bolt where the center beam terminates at the cross bar. Yes the bolt itself will be stronger, but the web that remains (material around the hole) will be lesser. You leave too narrow a web from the hole to the edge of that...

Much more than I am willing to spend……and I am size 11. They have 9 and 14 in stock….. You could walk on the moon with those. Do you hunt? If I was buying LaCross it would be a lesser insulated pair for sure. 1600 gram is like an oven for me. I like MidwayUSA. I just bought a Helix 7 fish...

Need some water proof boots for launching my aluminum boat in cold fall months when the water is cool. Normally I wear a lace up work boot but when I go deeper than where the tongue starts I get a miserable wet cold feet day. Decided to finally break down and buy some rubber insulated boots...

……..or a keel spool if your boat isn’t flat.

It’s well clear of anything hitting it……It does have a pop hinge if it gets struck……

It’s chunky…….the others I have seen are really long and narrow. I think the Lowrance has the side scanning circuitry in the tip….because an outboard in the vertical position will block it on that side. The Humminbird is short enough where it will shoot through the gap. Install was a breeze...

Brilliant! :idea:

Had a couple of hours to play on the local river and get familiar with it. My transducer location is working well….I don’t lose bottom at WOT. The numbers are big enough for me to see……The down and side imaging are going to be great additions for me. The transducer with this model doesn’t stick...

Thanks…… I see some going for close to $200……this model was $58 + $11 for the steel backing plate. It’s all powder coated metal and made in the USA. I see plastic models made offshore going for just $20 less on Amazon……I am always willing to pay a little more for stuff that’s made here. It...

If the bunks go out past the transom you will have issues in the future with transom mounted transducers. You mentioned wanting a Helix 7 in my thread…… You mentioned not wanting to replace your winch……you may be able to find a post that fits your winch, although doesn’t allow for u-bolts...

I installed the new Helix 7 and RAM mount. The toughest part of this was filling the old holes on the console. I taped them from the bottom and used JB Weld Water Weld. The transducer mount had the same hole pattern as the old one so it was just a matter of applying sealant to it. I do need to...

I have the MotorGuide Xi3 and Spot Lock was a real game changer……..I fish tidal rivers (salt) and it lets me park over or near structure……..without having to deal with currents pushing me out of range. Previously I would need to set an anchor…….
