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...

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'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...

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...

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...
