  1. Here is why I really love Obama And Hillary, the cold hard facts. I am self employed and before Obamacare had paid about $300/month for a healthcare policy that fit my needs perfectly. Soon after my policy was deleted and I was forced Into an ObamaCare policy. Its cost increased steadily. I never received my $2500 reduction and I never was able to keep my Doctor as the Liar In Chief promised. I have just recieved a notice that my cost starting Jan 1 will be $981 per month. I do not qualify any subsidy because I make just over the limit. However, I am eternially grateful that I have pregnancy coverage and drug and alcohol abuse coverage which I do not need. Lest I forget Mental problem coverage also. Since I am a 63 year old male, I am so grateful to the Democrats for my pregnancy coverage.

  2. I put a Yamaha F70LA on my Sea Nymph GLS 175 about two years ago. It weighs 257 lbs. Is the lightest engine in that range, 2 or 4 stroke. Running gauges from my Lowrance HDS touch. Boat previously had a 115 Johnson. It was a rocket but just got tired of the smoke, hard starting and fuel consumption. The Yammy runs all day on fumes. Fuel consumption according to the Lowrance is 9-10 mpg at best cruise about 4000 rpm. Probably get a about 20 mpg trolling. Also hooked into the troll control with a switch. Can go up or down in 50 rpm increments from 600 to

    0 1200 rpm. No more carburetors for me. EFI all the way. Touch the key and it runs.

  3. Read that a spray or 1 part water 1 part vinegar and 1 part dawn dish liquid works. Tried it on the boat and it works for a short while. Smells terrible but at least it is non toxic

  4. If you plan to interface to your motor or other devices and possibly get the Lowrance autopilot in the future, the HDS gen2 or 3 is the best choice. I have mine displaying all engine functions on the screen and plan to soon get autopilot and hydraulic steering. Need a later model outboard that is nema 2000 compatible to do this. Really nice.

  5. I have 4 of them I bought used about 12 years ago.  $900  for all from someone that thought they were too complicated.  Run well.  Had one display go last year.    I like the fact that I can progam the depth and let it run down while I am doing something else.  They also have the timed up and down cycling within a set distance like 10 ft or so.  use it sometimes but never really noticed a improvement in releases.   Retrieve is auto stop but it is not a short stop that detects disconnect of cable from water, it is an actual count up of pulley rotation.
