  1. Just purchased a pair of big jon captains but now wonder how to mount?

    Do the gimble mounts work good,(slide in rod holder) are they strong enough, I like the idea of just pulling them out and locking riggers inside boat when not used,

    I do the gimble mounts with big jons & have not had a problem at all. The only thing is if you trailer the boat with them in they bounce around a bit so I just remove them or tie them tight together with rope or rachet strap.

  2. That maybe something to look at after I have the repairs made/welded. I did contact the manufacturer & it must be a problem for them because they do make a repair sleeve for this problem so I don't think I am the first. I am sure ther is some twist/torsion when pounding lake erie 4-5 footers . You proably don't get those on the finger lakes? ;)

  3. Just wondering if anyone has had trouble with their hard top frame welds & upright posts cracking? Two years ago my welds cracked at the braces on the front of the frame & I had those repaired. Now the main front support pipes are cracked just below the repaired welds on those same pipes. This top is on a 92 Grady White seafarer. I was thinking of adding a cross brace between the 2 main pipes when having the cracks repaired. Any other ideas out there ? Thanks.

  4. Fished out in front of the Catt. this Am. caught 80+ fish kept 50 nice ones, some nice jacks. Started out with small ones until the bigger ones moved in. Beauty of a day until the 3-4 fters. came. :no:

  5. A friend has a (1985-87?) quicksilver throttle control that won't pull out so he is able to set the choke to start or start the boat in neutral. He has been lubracating it but does not seem to help. Any ideas on what to do/or look for? Boat is an i/o. thanks
