    That's what boat stands for. Break. Out. Another. Thousand

    If I was doing the work. I would do a compression test too. All that hot exhaust getting into the cooling system tends to destroy head gaskets. That would explain the water in the oil

    Expensive fix

    You mean that is coming out of the exhaust with engine running ? Looks like emulsified oil . What does the oil in your crankcase (dipstick ) look like ?

    Do you have a trim anode on the bottom of your lower end ? My merc has it. Need to loosen bolt and turn anode toward side that pulls

    Couple of thoughts. I am in a learning curve with a hook 7x. Check your range in the menu if it's not set to auto you may not track bottom. If u have fishing mode make sure it's not set to shallow water. Try going into menu and set to default which erases any settings u made takes it back to factory settings. Hope this helps

    Ah ! Now it is making sense . I have always used Cabela's mono in lighter tests for panfish and trolling for browns in the spring on flatlines . I tried to order 6,8,and 12 Lb. test in April and it was all back ordered . I bet this sale has been in the works for some time .

    thanks for the very concise and true post on this subject. Fishermen must realize that the boards and 400 ft coppers and lead codes are not part of their boat and should not be part of the equation If there is another boat close by , get the long lines out of the way

    You need a shop manual !! I believe this motor has optical ignition system and is diagnosed with a laptop and a special program . You might want to check your shift interrupter switch , that will kill one bank of cylinders . Also ,did your engine get hot ? It has a sensor that limits rpm if engine gets too hot . Rev limiter may be bad etc. etc . Technology is great when it works .firgot to add you check timing advance with an automotive timing light while engine is running. Check manual for timing marks and specifications

    Check your timing advance. Sound a lot like an ignition spark advance issue. Probably built into the ignition module

    Slow (but beautiful) day for us . Got to launch at 5:30 AM ,only one boat in parking lot . Ran out to 150fow and set up cut bait and spoon program . Screen empty for the most part . A few hooks deep (LT ? ) .Temp down 120 -130 feet . had one knock off , bait chewed up pretty good ,but no one home . Decided Kings were still west ( should have known that before we left the launch ) . Moved in to 100 fow 60 degree down 80-90 ft . Put down all spoons and finally hooked a 5 lb brown . Then a nice steelie . pulled lines at noon and headed in . Spent a good deal of time trying to get a handle on Lowrance Hook 7X ,not a user friendly unit , but that's probably me . Great to be out there . Guess you never get over the fishing fever .

    look it up it's in the CG rules of the road
  20. chinook35
    Negative Recreational fishing is not considered "fishing" as in commercial fishing . Recreational fishermen are just that . And follow all the rules of any recreational boater . You must give way to a sailing vessel under sail . If they are under power ,they must follow the same rules as any power boat . The question that was put here was a sailboat overtaking a power boat . The rules state the sailboat is the give way boat and the fishing boat is the stand on vessel . The power (fishing ) vessel must maintain it's heading (course) so that the sailing vessel can pass to port or starboard .
  21. chinook35
    and that is exactly what you should do as the stand on vessel maintain your course
  22. chinook35
    The "rules of the road " state : If a sailboat is overtaking a recreational power boat , the power boat is the stand on vessel and the sailboat is the give way boat . You were in the right to maintain your course , but the rules also state that all actions must be taken to avoid a collision . As stated , some people on the water have NO clue .

    Is it possible someoine replaced that hub at one time ? If you look at bearing buddy website ,you will find that there are different diameters for different brands of hubs . They list 1.781 " , 1.810 " and 1.980 " . You may need the 1.810 instead of the 1.781' . That's not a big difference in size ,but could account for your lost caps . If you have an inside micrometer you could measure the hub .
