    you might try moving the attaching point on the board a little farther towards the back. this will make them pull harder and run farther up.

    yes wall mart sells the duel purpose batteries. and they are as good as other batteries. I think there is only 3 companies in the us that makes and sells to large supply stores like wall mart. but there may be a few more now. but i've used wall mart batteries for yrs.

    sounds like the inner lining of the gas line is collapsing inside itself. the new gas line will fix the problem if thats what it is.

    I would fill it with jb weld and forger about it.

    you will be fine using a large duel purpose battery for both. a few more yrs down the road you'll be thankful you got electric start. if you run the trolling motor enough to run the battery down it still has the rope start. just make sure you get one that charges the battery. but most times the electric start will start a 15 hp motor. on the rare occasion you rope start you'll be glad the electric start is on the motor.

    they call them robin hoods when you stick one arrow with another one. but it gets expensive if done often. I have busted many nocks but was good enough to avoid getting a robin hood, lol.

    sounds very much like the calipers are stopped up but it would be rare for both sides to stop up at the same time. switch sides and use the vacuum pump. the rubber lining of the brake line often separate's and stops up the line. I would remove the rubber line and blow through it to see if its stopped up before changing the caliper. if both sides are the same look for a crimp in metal line. if you have an all rubber line I would check it before doing anything else.

    my guess is the impeller is getting bad. pushing some water but not enough at higher rpm's.

    i've charged low or dead batteries all my life when I would need a jump. and i'm 68 and never had a alternator go bad because of this. alternators have built in voltage regulators that only let them charge so much. it doesn't matter if you run the battery low starting in cold weather or if the battery is dead. it will charge what the regulator allows.

    it wont hurt a thing. I had a short in my truck that kept draining my battery plum dead. my charger wouldnt charge it at all. jumped the truck off and ran it for about 15 minutes then shut it off and used the charger to finish charging battery. this happened several times while trying to find the short. didnt hurt the alternator at all.

    I have had this problem with my black & decker automatic charger a few times on very low or dead batteries. hooked the charger up and it read bad battery. put the battery in my truck and ran it for about 15 minutes and problem solved. once the battery has charged take it to any auto parts store and have it tested so you know for sure its good.

    you need to answer a few simple questions first. what do you hope to gain? top end? a better hole shot? what prop do you have now? what is your wot rpm's? what is the max rpm for your motor? a 4 blade prop will give you a much better hole shot and better handling but may cost you 1 or 2 mph on top end. a revolution 4 is a proven performer. I get my props off ebay much cheaper than buying at a marina or prop chop.

    tunasreeltroubles.com is tuna toms web sight. they fix reels on the cheap. but sell a lot of parts. another good place for parts is on ebay.

    fish usually go up for a bait so its better to have your lure 5' above the fish than below the fish. so with blowback 70' on the rigger would be a great starting point with a lure that dives 5'.

    I like the 13# pancake weights I bought of ebay. some people say they have trouble with tracking. but you can adjust tracking by bending the fins. but i've never had that problem with mine. the heaver the weight the less blowback you have. but you have to know how much weight your riggers are rated for. the 13# pancake weights has very little blowback at depths up to 60' that I fish. look on ebay for weights before you buy any.

    I use the fluke style anchor with the sliding ring. something like bass pro's slip ring anchor. just give the rope a little slack pull above the anchor then pull the rope. the ring slides to the head of the anchor making it a breeze to retrieve the anchor. these are for lake fishing mostly but works in rivers also. a 10# anchor is usually all you need.

    the convectors are good reels but i've read great things about the cold waters.

    have you tried turning the squelch down to where your getting static then turn it back up until it stops. then ask for a radio check on your radio. you may only have traffic on a few channels. on lake erie we mostly use 68 on the central basin but do use 79. the western basin uses mostly 79 but uses 68. find out what channels are used most and try them.

    just go with a 19p or even a 17p high five and you'll be very happy. when I got my boat and loaded it for erie it took forever to get on plane. I replaced the 19p 3 blade prop with a 19p high five and it jumped out of the hole gave me more control in rough water it held plane at slower speeds its just a much better all around prop. but I only have a 21' boat with a 350 mercruiser. you might be better with a 17p with a 25' boat.

    I would give you 150.00 for the 2 1/4 spoons shipped without box. can pay with ff pay pal or check. pm me if your willing to break up the spoons.

    the cannons are the best of the lot. you can lower with only one hand where it takes both hands with the others. I have the cannon single axis that I think is better than the double. you can get them new at hodgesmarine.com for 74.00 each.

    why don't all you guys switch to chamberlain releases for walleye and small fish. its built on the blacks release but has 2 adjustments. 1 is for rod tension the other is for lure tension. you can set the rod tension tight then set the lure tension loose enough where even white perch will trip it. i've been using them on erie's central basin for some yrs now. they are hands down the best release out there on small fish or walleye.

    its not as exciting as some fish but permit on the wrecks can be very rewarding. yellowtail snapper can be a bunch of fun on lighter tackle. there fun to catch fight hard and are plentiful on the offshore reefs.
  24. sherman brown
    i'll take them. I can pay with pay pal. how much is cheap shipping to muncie in 47302?
