    I have a 25 hp with one and hate it. If you try to bump in and out of gear, it briefly increases rpms and speeds up. Also, it "misses neutral" if you twist the throttle too fast. I like a shifter, set the throttle where you need it then bump it in and out of gear as needed.

    I have a 2012 25hp merc with twist and have never had any of the troubles you mentioned. Mines efi maybe that’s why?

    Very interesting! There was a population of walleyes in Canandaigua Lake from at least the 1940s (remember my uncle talking of catching "yellow bellies") through the early 1970s. Many Louis A Wehle/Genessee Beer fishing contest winners came from Canandaigua (brother inlaw caught a 13.5 lbs monthly winner). The DEC attributed the decline of the population to: 1- Loss of spawning habitat in the lake and the West River  2- Polution, West River  3- The introduction of alwives to the lake in the 1950s (feed on walleye fry). Walleyes were most often incidental catches while trout fishing. I caught my last Canandaigua walleye in 1971, 9.5 lbs... suspended mid-lake off Menteth Pt, early August. Walleyes would suspend over deep water mid-July through August feeding on alwives, much the same as smallmouth bass do in Canandaigua/other Finger Lakes. Up to this catch, the last walleye I remember hearing caught was June 1973 (weighed in at Clarke's). Sk8man may be on to something... perhaps a wallye(s) illegally introduced to the lake. The DEC is currently "fighting" a reproducing population of wallyes illegally introduced to Skaneateles Lake perhaps 10 yrs ago (based on year classes found by gill netting surveys). Walleye are known to prey heavily on young trout when available.

    Agree about them liking trout. The walleye stack up at the mouths of erie and ontario tribs and feast on the 4 to 6" steelhead fingerlings every spring
