I run 2 wire as well and 2 slide dipsy I have had my slide dipsy fire off more than my wire this season I have 65lbs braid on the slide dipsy

I've had trips like that with my boys but I tell you those are memories you will never forget Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I run also double keel with no weight had a local machine shop make them ,way cheaper ,they pull great Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I use amsteel blue it's a marine rope 7/64 of a inch maybe a little overboard but pulling my otterboards with double keels it's been great its rated for 1400lbs line is thin enough works great for me Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I also had the newer otter boards last year they pulled okay but with dipsy's on them they pulled far back I went to Caledonia to a machine shop and had them make me those keels and yes the keels do not have a weight they're essentially just the same height width length. They pull a lot better now with dipsy's on and they still float, if you get a second keel just be careful how much weight because it could sink the otter boat when it's still Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Around the same a 70hp is 253lb

On boats less than 20 feet in length with no capacity plate, use the following rule of thumb to calculate the number of persons (weighing 150 pounds each, on average) the boat can carry safely in good weather conditions. Number of people = (boat length (ft.) × boat width (ft.))÷15 For example, for a boat 18 feet long by 6 feet wide, the number of persons is 18 times 6 (or 108) divided by 15, which equals seven 150-pound persons (or a total person weight of 7 × 150, or 1050 pounds).

My otter boards do just fine I have to order another keel It does drag a little with just one but seen other boats that have two keels they run better Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's what I do I use a small carabiner that hooks to the planner board line then tied off on my gunnel. Short arm curse Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Mine turned off or went to gain but know all is good

1991 80hp merc , spark plug is ignited it produces electricity, a regular spark plug has a frequency between 60 and 120 hertz the Fishhawk runs on 70 hurts and your fish finders run from 120 hertz and up depending on your model the resistor plugs have an insulator that insulates those hurts so you don't have interference Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I had problems with mine and I fixed it I have an outboard motor and what the problem happened to be was the spark plugs believe it or not, the spark plugs were creating an electromagnetic field interfering with the signal of the Fish Hawk so I ordered resistor spark plugs and it fix the problem Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would consider using 20 or 25lb mono because of the sand flees 15 lb you will be cleaning your lines alot more and false releases can happen only in the summer Sent from my SM-A102U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
