Thank you guys for some other things to try tomorrow. I appreciate it. Still young enough not to need the viagra though ; ) But also a reason I have little experience with motors... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fuel lines are intact. Maybe primer ball isnt sucking enough gas? Or it could be from ball to engine...or as Old Man said it could be internal. I'm going to tear into it more tomorrow with someone who knows a little more. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So I have a 1989 Johnson Gt150 V6 and the other day the motor alarm went on as we were coming back in from fishing. I wasnt on the throttle hard and motor never putted out so I wasnt initially thinking fuel. After checking a few things, felt the primer ball and it wasnt hard at all. I p8t a new one in and its also not staying hard after a few pumps. It does draw gas from the tank if I just hook primer ball to the tank fuel line and not connected to the motor. So, what else could this be? Could this be the fuel/water filter that maybe needs changed? I bought this boat/motor under a year ago and it ran great for duck season as a tender boat with no issues. What do you guys think? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If you want to purchase some new, the best prices I've found have been at Northwoods Wholesale Outlet out of Michigan. They don't have everything in-stock listed on their website so it's best to call them. Quick shipping and great prices - $60 for the ratcheting rod holders (everywhere else I've found they're $80+).

Thanks guys - that's what I was thinking but I have some friends who like to run them the way that they slide down to the fish (even for walleye on Lake Erie). I've always felt the board closer to the fish could cause more knock-offs when the fish is close to be netted. Just wanted to get some other opinions before getting out there and to rig my rods appropriately.

Hey guys - new to the site and lots of valuable info on here. I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I'm hoping some of you could help. When using in-line planers for spring browns, do you typically rig them to release after the fish strikes and slide down to the fish (with bead/swivel for stopper)? Or, do you usually rig the boards to stay in place on the line, let them fall back with fish on to clear your other boards/lines and then reel the board in, un-clip and continue to fight the fish the rest of the way? I'm a fan of the mast system but not done rigging my new boat yet so this is a temporary solution until then. Thanks!
