UNREEL

Sutters in Canandaigua has certified Yamaha technicians. Have used them for PM service. I troll with a 2009 250 HP and also use Ring Free at every fueling. 1800 hrs and going strong

Anybody have any opinions on the Magnum Metalz downriggers. I'm shopping for new riggers. They have all the features I'm looking for and a reasonable price. Got a good write up in GLA Magazine.

Our experience is you can run leadcore in a Scooty release but not far at all from the boat cause of the sag in the line running to the release. Copper is even worse.

Tuna Tom's reel repair suggests about a 100ft of heavier mono. 40 or 50 lb.

That's why we fish, for a catch like that. Congrats

Check out the Handheld VHF posting in This Old Boat. Several opinions there

Good looking rig. Good luck with it.

Glad to hear Dave is the real deal. Love the "Hard Merch"

X2.

We had issues getting our releases to slide on heavy mono line that came with my planer reels. ( Traxtech) Changed out the towline to #200 braid and problem solved. I prefer the Otters to run out to the side as compared to lagging back.

No excuse for running em that far out under those near shore conditions. That goes for charter or rec boats.

Great idea for many who fish alone. Should that be Fell In Marine tho.

FYI. Independent Marine does not work on outboards.

That oughta do it!!!! very nice.
