So I thought I would start a new thread rather than continue on the one regarding Kast King reels. Ended up with a Piscifun, and the manual shows how add new line. The pic shows the new line spool is fed from the bottom with the rotation being clockwise. I though the opposite, googled a few...

I had planned on picking up another BPS Pro Qualifier 2 when the Bass Pro/Cabelas spring fishing classic sale comes out next month. I think I found a link that has the flyer(ahead of time) and the Pro Qualifier 2 doesn't look to be half price like it has the last couple of years. I have one and...

I was at my local Dunham's Sports(regional chain) last evening looking at their Vengeance bait casting rods and they were marked $39.99. For those who have a Dunham's store and receive 20% off coupons in their email, that brings it down to 32 bucks. I have a medium heavy(which IIRC, paid 49.99...

For those who have used, looking at the above. BPS/Cabelas is running their spring sale 1/2 off. $50. Apparently the 2nd edition has been out only for a couple of years. The original version has high marks. The 2nd version has pretty good reviews on various forums, and has favorable but somewhat...

Have an older Lowrance/Eagle transducer switch box, two pin configuration. $6.00 and I will pay for shipping.

CORRECTION I just revised this to a 1232 jon. I measured in the dark the first time, and didn't double check when I had it out in the light. This even makes it more surprising. Took my friend's 1232 today rather than drag out my 14 Mirro. I was a little apprehensive about it, but ended up very...

First, let me say, I am an idiot. Left my old reliable Shimano Bantam 10XSG on the boat dock last week. Loved that simple reel. Really miss the rod as much as the reel. I haven't purchased any hardware for many years. Have a couple of 5500C's, 6500, an old Diawa spinning rig that was handed...

Been on a number of forums over the years, and this rant is not unique to this site. It is a pet peeve of mine that people have to include an entire quote in a given thread when we all know what the thread is about. For example: The op will post several pics or have a lengthy post. Somewhere...

Already posted one pic on refurbish thread. Scrap wood, four screws, and a little paint. Only one screw at the top. Tried to come up with something using existing seat straps, but nothing clicked.

I think I know the answer after some searching, but want to verify. First pic is current set up on trailer. Not cut to length yet. Second pic is how they currently will contact the hull. Because of angle, only the edges touch. I can adjust in 3" to get closer to the outer strakes as shown in pic...

Prepping the bottom half, getting ready for primer coat. Top half is gray Rustoleum and I am pleased with it. Don't want to take bottom half all the way down to metal, and thought about Rustoleum aluminum for the bottom. If I scratch it, it won't be as noticeable. Any one have any experience...

Took two trips(of course) to get my boat/motor/trailer legal. About fell over when the DMV person gave me a total for the fees. Mind you, this is on a $800 boat/motor/trailer. Title application boat...........$15.00 Privilege tax.......................$39.00 State road...

As part of my restoration, I needed to refinish the cowling on my Evinrude 6hp. Found these decals on ebay and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. Apparently, one individual does most of these and the decals are top notch and if you take your time and measure, it comes out pretty nice...

Thought I would find opinions with a search, but must be entering wrong information. Is there a consensus on whether to seal/varnish the support wood under a new floor? 2/4's, etc. Have already done one section, but after pondering, I don't think it is needed. Maybe just the very bottom pieces...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marine-Outboard-Boat-Motor-Fuel-Gas-Hose-Line-Assembly-3-8-with-Primer-Bulb/132281573948?hash=item1ecc98a23c:g:r0wAAOSwzahZgXRH&vxp=mtr Ebay has several vendors of this type of fuel line and primer bulb. Anyone have experience? Waste of money? Decent service? Even if...

Had no clue this was completely carpeted and didn't look too bad when I picked up. Wasn't going home empty handed. Once home, realized it was going to require a major facelift, but thought the hull carpet might be salvageable. Further examination indicated the carpet had to go. It was dirty and...

Do members and the admin prefer conversions and projects to be posted as the project progresses, or wait until done and then post everything

Working on my 1977 Mirrocraft, it appears that the flotation foam under the bench seats has a very thin piece of wood on the front and back sides to protect it. Something like Luan plywood or maybe even a bit thinner. I discovered this when I lifted the carpet that wraps the seats. The bottom of...

Here are my "before" pics. Picked up today. Will add "after" pics as I progress. Floors are already out and will get trashed. New ones built higher will go in. The entire inside of the hull is carpeted, a bit soiled and dirty, and right now is wet. If I can clean it up and dry it out, it will be...

Wondering if anybody has ever tried this? Couldn't find any info to see if used by others in the past. This would be for floor support between the bench seats. Could cut out of 2x6 or 2x8, depending on the height wanted. Would sit on ribs, since they offer more support than the lighter gage...
