    Not a lot of options. if these are your side curtains , don,t zip them shut. Maybe have some zippers added to get some air. My Crestliner HT was an oven in the summer and adding a fan on the dash helped. also helpful for clearing the windows on a cold morning.

    I haven't seen any mention of cleaning the carb(s). sorry if I missed it. Sounds like the highspeed circuit. do a thorough cleaning or rebuild. I have never had an outboard that didn't drip fuel when left in the tilted position. it generally drips right from the carb throat due to the bowl being full.

    Been on both side of this one, more than a few times. Still, nothing compares to running flat lines in the early ESLO days out of Rochester. Between the casual boaters that had no idea what we were doing and the sail boaters....

    Has this always been the case? I am not at all familiar with counter rotating props and how this would work....If possible, I would compare both engines rpm,s running separately. Perhaps the starboard side is over revving a bit due to lack of water. I don't know..just a guess..

    clean the carb(s) You probably picked a small piece of debris in the low speed jet. Remove the carb or carbs and disassemble and clean one at a time. If you are very careful, you may be able to disassemble it without having to replace any gaskets or o-rings. Use a good carb cleaner and a fine piece of wire. lots of videos on Youtube to help.

    Boat storage

    Shakemsam replied to JLK's topic in This Old Boat

    The word "storing" leads me to wonder if you are asking about winter storage?

    Yankee is 100% spot on about the GT54/56 for trolling. I should have listened to him when I bought mine 3 years ago. It will track balls as long as it's flat calm. But anything more than a slight chop, you're in the dark! I went a different route and added a refurb Lowrance Elite 7 with a basic 2D 83/200 ducer that also networks with my TM. Couldn't be happier!

    Ebay is about your best hope.

    Weather is about the only reason.

    2 for 3 both mid morning fast east troll 2.5-2.7 down temp 48. A jr about 10# and my daughter got her first mature. Both fish hit a Sea Sick on a rigger. 60/100.

    Me too! Much appreciated, Dew!

    Might want to take a look around the Morristown area. Quaint and quiet village and easy drive to Abay/Clayton/Cape areas.

    pump the ball as she starts to struggle. If that helps, it's fuel delivery. Most likely fuel pump.

    Biggest issue will be mounting, not operation.

    In the spring, that launch is always like that. And, if you get an east wind, it can be a lot worse. Ibay with a South wind is the same way concerning weeds and trash. I would be happy with a decent rake chained to the dock so we could clean it ourselves.

    I have a similar set up and mounted mine on a ram with an extended arm, right on the gunnel. it sits inside the side curtain and I can swing it to face the bow when bass fishing.

    I would consider other areas before anything that is open to air circulation. If I am understanding you correctly, that area is only subjected to splash. Motor mounts, swim platform mounts, transducers, any through bolts or loose rivets under the water line are the first areas to look.

    Someone's going to get a great rig.

    I tried using a skeg on my xi5 and it decreased my battery life by 50%.
