Remove the foot and impeller and inspect. Even if there is nothing in there you should have the tools you use on the boat at all times and know how everything works. There could also be something lodged where the exit tube is. They don't work like a prop reversing it won't do anything the...

By me just above eaaron it was 99% of casts had algea on. The only way to fish was top water or slip bobbers. Even with slip bobbers i was constantly checking and cleaning bait. High waters are needed to clean the river out bad up here. Hopefully we get some rain so the river goes pretty high...

Did a little smallmouth fishing this weekend. So much green algea i could barely fish a jig. Got one 19" bass and 23" walleye on a jig before i gave up cleaning jig after each cast. A bunch more on top water but nothing bigger than 15. This rain should help to clean river out and i dont think it...

Seaark rxjt 170 with 75 etec

I have a 12 pound anchor with three prongs which holds good and the steaper the angle the better. It holds both my boats okay but id like something heavier for stronger current. A mushroom might not dig in enough. And yes if you dont use the proper anchor it will get snagged, I have two down...

Looked like you guys had a blast

Go to outboard jets website and look under FAQ. They will tell you how to sharpen impeller and you probably need to space it down a little. If the liner is shot order a new one and put your sharpened impeller back. I wouldnt go to a ss, minimal gains imo.

Whatever you buy make sure the layout will work for you. I bought a seaark cause it has the layout I wanted and the dealer is exceptionally good. If you buy used make sure its been maintained and if you buy from a dealer make sure they know exactly what they are doing. Its an expensive purchase...

I would check with your local marina. Mine has a guy that can make whatever you want fpr a decent price. They are gonna be pricey unless you find one on craigslost.

On plane probably 4-6" I would guess and to take off around 18". If mechanically its sound I would keep it.

I only use mine in dicey areas but I wear an auto inflate during all my runs and during the winter. Ive hit plenty of times but I leave my motor unlocked so it comes up.

I thought about getting these put on my seaark, for the cost I dont know if they will help that much and how much do they slow down top speed? Id like to hear peoples input as well, especially if you installed afterwards.

I like it around 5-6 ft in belvidere but its been mid 3s a long time. Called for 7.8 but now down to 6. Some high water will make it a little easier to find them.

Looks like the river is supposed to come up a lot from this rain. This is going to help a lot.

Im hoping to be able to fish most of the winter, need higher waters though. Went today, bite was really slow. Landed 4 all in the 17-21 inch range and had 5 hits.
