well, finally had a successful trip on otsego lake thurday two nice LL's 26 &30", one laker(24") and one very fat small mouth. one LL on black and puple michigan spoon behind 300' of copper and the rest on green/crush ice e-chip flasher with white glow howie fly on a wire dipsy 150' out. marked lots and lots of fish on the east side of the lake most were between 20-60 ft over 70-100 fow. couldnt get the down riggers to produce, next time! ted

that was 30lb copper

600ft of copper and 20ft of fluro leader. there wasnt anymore room, it just fit ted

i got 600 ft on an accu depth 57 and it works great

have 1995 mercrusier engine 350 for sale, ne wrisers and elbows, new starter, good compression. zip code 13804, i would swap for a decent pair of extendable boom electric down riggers leave me a message at 607-265-3803 and i'll get back to you and give you the details on the motor. ted

my mistake it does have the lift eye so i guess that makes it s merc 1 so am i right in assuming they are not interchangable? if thats the case i have an alpha 1 drive and engine available thanks ted

Thanks Borderline ted

thanks keith, the price was right, free! the guy just wanted it gone. outside of the floor its in great shape. ted

thanks, there isnt a lift eye that why i was wondering if it could be an alpha 1 as i happen to have one in mint condition for a spare, how could i tell?

thanks hank ted

just aquired a 78 crestliner with a merc 228 in it, the numbers on the drive are 5622197 and to the right of that is 1-50r any idea what drive it is? the floor is shot but the rest is solid as a rock so i think i have a project in store. will the distributer from a 350 fit a 305? the one in the 305 is conventional but i have an electronic one from a 350 thanks ted

thanks for the advice, i found more problems today ted

how critical is the piece of plywood that runs perpendicular to the keel between the stringers at the front of the engine. it doesnt look like it supports anything and its rotted. do i have to replace it on end to the other or just patch it. the boat is an 85 sea ray 230 thanks ted

thanks for the tips ted

irish55 any particular color for lakers? ted

i'm still planning to be there also

just put one on my outboard, rays right, few pulse on the starter and you should be good. ted

i easily put 1000' of mason stainless braid on my accu depth plus 's ted

Huntfrisco, thanks for the info ted

i'm in baring some disaster

thanks motoman i never thought of that! great idea ted

comparing apples to oranges, years ago i bought a jd hay baler with a wisconsin engine that had been stored and covered for 12 yrs with mytesry oil. it didn't run perfectly but it did start and did run well enough to bale hay. i guess it all depends on how it was stored my two cents ted
