The fleas is true but you can run the dipsies with braid without a problem.

I think it depends on who you are talking to, I think some people refer to that cliff as the "mountain". It is between the trench and the finger. I havent been out there in 3 weeks but hope to be out there this weekend. I am sure it is holding some kings and browns. I havent gotten reports from anyone recently.

Last Weekend I took mature kings down 80-100 in 120-135 fow.

Haha I convert it from feet to meters

I usually check the noaa marine forecast and have 3 different apps on my phone sail flow, buoyweather and live weather which has the buoys that report wind and waves.

yeah I saw up to 5'-7' sunday

Bad gas usually has to do with water, or gas that has been sitting for a while. The unleaded gas doesnt have the shelf life of the old leaded stuff. Additives really wont help with old gas, but you can usually smell it. I run non ethanol 92 get it one of the same 2 places everytime and not had a problem. This last trip water alarm went off. I also run startron. It can happen, although I am wondering if perhaps the water sensor is bad.

Yeah you are correct, once the fuel has been sucked out. My motor would start to cut out at anything above 4000 rpm's. I put in a fuel shutoff at the T and it solved the problem.

I agree with sk8man although mine is plumbed to the fuel tank but it absolutely needs a shutoff. The main motor will pull in through the kicker line if you dont have it, possibly creating a lean condition. I have had no problem at all with the setup but this Saturday the alarm on my 225 went off because of water in the fuel. The 225 is a two stroke so I couldnt hear it until I backed of the throttle. Every time I head out fishing it is about 30 miles round trip, I have not had an issue in 3 years. Gassed up before I left just like I always do. On the kicker selection I would likely go with at least the 8 but probably the 9.9. The weight isnt that much more and if you do lose the main motor a larger kicker does give you more maneuverability. There have been days out there in my 23 ft that I couldnt turn the boat trolling with the 9.9 and had to fire up the main motor.

Yeah it is like a big 3 +" float

Did you try running it with no thermostat? Perhaps it is sticking and I have seen new ones that were bad right out of the box. Does the oil level and color look ok?

AirBNB has a few places one of which is Joe Bearup at Bearup marine by the Chaumont Yacht club. I think it comes with a boat slip that will accomdate a 30ft boat. That is on sawmill bay on the opposite side of Point Salubrius.
