[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 289471, member: 4466"] I took the Minnnowtaur out for one last trip to troubleshoot the motor and hunt down some crappie. I think the gas is definitely contributing to the problem. I was getting the thick white smoke on start-up and it was also choking out. There might be carb buildup too, so I'm going to dissect it apart this winter and clean it up for next season. I'm also going to only fill up my gas tank 1-2 gallons at a time since I barely made a dent in the 10gallon tank this season. Overall, she handled pretty well out there. I ended up catching 45 crappie and some bluegill, though. I had an odd issue with my trailer on the way home...the winch system's "anti-reverse" broke and the boat started bouncing around. I strapped it down with some ratchet straps and it seemed okay. I'm not sure how I'm going to fix the winch though. I'll post a close up picture later to show the broken part :( [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/Fishing/Minnowtaur.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
