I mostly fish for yellow perch because we enjoy eating them. The emerald shinner minnows we use as bait shed their tiney, shiney scales and they stick to everything ! Once dried they need to be scraped off. Many of my rods have cork handles, so....does anyone have an easy way to clean fish...

Lots of debate on these aftermarket gray fuel lines, one came on the boat I bought last summer. Carefull inspection for winter layup showed some minor issues with the interior liner.....so I want to replace it before spring. What is the best/ safest marine rated fuel line that folks are having...

My question is to those of you with Merc/ Mariner outboard motors, my 40 hp calls for an NGK-BUHW-2 spark plug, they have been discontinued, no longer made....so what are you folks using as a replacement ?? Tried a cross reference chart but couldn't find much there for these plugs....thanks in...

Went to go for a ride today and found a pair of wires pinched and stripped of insulation from the power tilt/trim. The bare wires touched and shorted. Went vack home and cut back the frayed section and made new connections to check things out. The 20 amp fuse was blown under the cowl, bought...

Was at the local Bass Pro ding some winter browsing and struck up a conversation with another shopper looking at bait bucket aeration systems. They are getting expensive and still same poor quality. I offered him my solution and thought I woukd share it on here. Rather than the puny battery...

Recently aguired a used outfit, it came with a Lawrance Elite 7 sonar unit. After getting familiar with the unit, I decided to return everything back to default to rid the unit of the previous owners settings and create my own. This unit has the down scan feature, which worked quite nicely...

Due to age and body abuse, I have torn rotator cuffs in my shoulders, which makes hard cranking of the winch difficult at best. My current 16' alum Sylvan and OB weigh at just under 2000 lb total weight. The current winch appears to just adequate for the job, and the handle appears short. So...

Just another question about my recent purchase, the boat is a 16' Sylvan side console and has a Minn Kota 55lb thrust bow mount power drive. Previous owner claims up to 6 hrs trolling time with dual group 31 batteries. Thinking about using this for trolling for walleyes rather than adding a...

Recently bought a new to me fishing boat and it came with a Minn Kota V2 bow mount trolling motor. The motor is in excellent condition and works very well if I can get it deployed into operating position !!! Instruction say to release catch clamp then push down on shaftvwhile pushing forward...

Recently bought a 1992 Sylvan Sea Troller, a 16' aluminum side console fishing boat. Everything is in excellent condition, spent most of its life in a garage. Previous owner was not sure of the capacity of the built in fuel tank. Claims it has never taken more than 10 gallons of fuel...
