Had the exact same problem with a 2006 merc 115 4 stroke this past may.---Yamaha dealer looked at fuel filter with no water in it and said" It is probably Plugs"-- reluctantly, and believing my friend was wrong and it was a fuel issue, i replaced the 4 plugs---Ran like the 125 hour beauty she is. I was shocked but very glad that was it. good luck and good fishin' coach

i love them for trolling leadcore with spoons or sewn bait fiberglass is so forgiving with no stretch lines good luck

I also have bought 4 on ebay over last couple years $75, $94, $95, $122. With the case i"d guess $650-700 be fair

i don’t have facebook 561-301-4169 thnx coach

Rangeley is a world famous Landlock destination giant Brookies too pm me if you want specifics good fishn

bait 1.3 spoons/plugs 2.5ish general rules

salmon want smelt but will eat other schooling baits. smelt go up their spawning brooks early spring when the brooks temps are 40ish—this is prime time for landlocks-iceout. they will feed heavily at the mouths of these brooks. trolling in front at sun up is best as spring progresses the salmon follow schooling bait like browns do but will chase bait out of the preferred temp zone of 53 ish windy cloudy days are best for landlocks. copper is always a good color. always prefer smelt if available so lure profiles matter. a smelt looks like a traditional rapala where an alewife has the profile of a large shad rap—what bait are they eating pm me for more info good luck coach

landlocked atlantic salmon are a little different than other salmon. Every day is different and each lake is different. In NY i have fished Cayuga and George for them, but primarily i grew up trolling the famous lakes in Maine and NH. If the lake has a good smelt population and its around the run(april/may), a sewn smelt is deadly, but on the next day, the streamer pullers may outfish the sewn bait guys. we use 4-6'' dodgers with an 8-10'' 6lb fluro leader to a traditional streamer like a gray or black ghost. When surface temps hit 60 we generally switch to spoons or stick baits---spoons like 44 sutton, copper thinfish, monkeypuke stingers, etc One day years ago(2002 or 2003), we trolled for hours and had 2- 12'' perch in the box--nothing was hitting. I put out a maynard marvel(bright yellow fly) behind a dodger-salmon immediately, then another....for two hours we caught 12-14 salmon 2-4 lbs ---only on the one bright yellow fly in the spread on lake winnipesaukee in early may. I have never caught a keeper salmon on that fly since. we have had great success with the size 9 xrap in flor. orange and green and blue We fished cayuga for four days in july last summer and landed 14 landlocks between 15'' and almost 10 lbs.(wife caught a 9lb 11 oz Landlock--our personal best) The biggest hit a sewn alewife behind hammerhead spinners down 45 feet in 150 fow. Of the salmon, 1/2 hit spoons/plugs and 1/2 hit alewives all between 30 and 60' and in 100-200 fow. We also caught many other trout as well. They are my favorite fish to catch but can be ridiculously frustrating too. good luck coach we will be on Rangeley Lake (toughest lake to fish on the planet) 1st week of june and in Pittsburg NH in July---trolling for Landlocks.
