Hey everyone. When I first bought my boat and trailer I noticed that the tail lights were not working. Both turn signals and brake lights work, just no tail lights. I asked the guy about it and he said they aren't supposed to have tail, it's just a brake/ turn signal. A few weeks ago while...

Thanks guys, good feedback. I will go to some different ramps in different areas of the lake but kinda felt I would be in the same situation to a certain extent. I guess I just need to invest in better electronics first and Foremost. CCM, you are absolutely right about safety and that is...

Hey everyone, here is my dilemma... I currently have a 14ft jon w/9.8hp outboard. The closest lake to me is Lake Lanier which if you are not from Ga is a huge lake. I have been going there because it takes 10 mins to get there and there are no gas motor restrictions and such. Problem is it's a...

Hey everyone, I have read some articles and posts about converting a merc 9.9 to a 15hp just by changing the carb. However, I have done a ton of searching and cannot find whether or not you can convert an older 9.8hp the same way? It seems from what I have found, this conversion only works for...

Hey everyone! Do any of you know of some good "off the grid" places to camp in North Georgia? My brother just got one of those pull behind pop up campers and we are looking for somewhere to go. We usually camp up in Helen but are looking for somewhere different and less touristy. As I mentioned...

Hey everyone, I need some tips and advice for cold weather bass fishing. I live in north Georgia and air temps have been in the 32-38 degree range(not sure water temp) when I get on the water at sunrise. I don't have much winter fishing experience but understand bass are in deeper water this...

Are there any north Georgia locals that could recommend some good small lakes to fish? I am about a 10 minute drive to the most south western point of lake Lanier so I have been going there, but it is just too big of a lake for a jon boat. It gets too choppy and makes traveling the lake...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I love the idea of the wall mounts but I'm not sure if they would work in my boat. I still have the bench in the middle so there is only a few inches above it I could work with. I will look into the rod saver straps. Will you guys post a link to the ones you use? Or...

Hey everyone. I'm trying to find some options for securing my fishing rods inside the boat at all times, not while fishing but more for storage, and keeping secure in tow. The only rod holders I can find are the ones to be used while fishing. How do you guys secure your rods to your boats? Any...

Thanks for the help. I will definitely get the manual. I took out the restrictor all together to see if that was making a difference. I did get the top speed up to about 13mph consistently. This was wide open throttle so I guess that is the best i will get. It was only me in the boat and very...

Mike, Im referring to the piece circled at the bottom that limits how far you can twist the tiller in FWD and Neutral,(not the adjustment screws at the top) but when you put in Reverse, the stopper moves out of the way so you can twist the tiller to full throttle. I think that whole mechanism...

Yes, it is in fwd in these pictures. I did just notice that in reverse the throttle stopper moves and allows me to reach WOT! Obviously this is backwards. Any idea how I can fix this? Could I just take the stopper out completely?

Hey guys, I recently posted about getting what I thought was a low top speed (10mph) out of a Mercury 110 9.8hp on a 14ft jon. It doesn't look like I am getting much at all out of my throttle so would like some help and feedback on whether this looks right, and if not how to adjust. I am not...

well, I just got home with my compression tester and pretty sure I found my problem. Both cylinders are at 45psi =(. I am really bummed. Is it unusual for both to be that low yet still equal? I tried them each a couple times and were dead on each try. The biggest question is, is there anything I...

Thanks for the replies guys. Regarding the battery and fuel tank for balance, I had the battery in the back left and fuel tank in the center because it fit better. I could move the gas tank to the right side and give a bit more balance. The tilt is down as far as possible so the motor is...

Hey everyone! I am brand new to this forum and just bought my first boat last week. I picked up a 14ft Alumacraft jon with a 1972 (I believe) Merc 110 9.8hp. I took it out for the first time this Saturday for a test run, make sure the boat doesn't leak, etc. I used the fish finder speedo and a...
