It's an O-ring about 2" in diameter that fits on the main body of the reel. The spool slips over it sealing the bottom of the spool, but it causes a lot of drag. It's not the drag adjustment on the front of the spool.

My Shimano spinning reel schematic shows a rubber friction ring. Mine was missing so I bought one and there is no way it will fit on my reel so I left it off. What is the purpose of this ring? Why would the spool need friction? Thanks.

LeeRoys Ramblings will tell you everything you need to know about that motor. Great website.

I have the same motor. Says 100:1. I split the difference and run 75:1. Motor runs great!

I had a 1989 Evinrude 15hp on a 14' Gregor. Was a great motor and planed that boat in a hurry and I weigh 275lbs! I'd look for one of those. Plus they are very light weght.

Hello everyone; Just got back from the Sierra Nevada mountains trout fishing. When trolling I got more line twist then I have ever had. Was using Thomas Bouyants and spinners. Tried no swivel, with swivel, nothing stopped it. 6lb mono line. I think I spooled the line on correctly. Please help!

It's a built in tank and is very difficult to access for measuring.

It has a 75hp Force outboard on it.

I just bought a boat with a Hummingbird Wide 128. Does anyone know anything about these?

I just bought a Monark Pro 1700. I don't know much about tnem other than they are out of business. I would like to know how much fuel it holds. Any info on this boat would be appreciated.

Do you think trailer brakes are worth the trouble and expense on a tinny that weighs about 600- 700lbs, trailer and motor included?

Very nice boat and motor! Have fun and catch a lot of fish. :)

I'm looking for a new boat that is a little more coomfortable than my 14' tinny. It still needs to be light(under 2000lbs) because I tow with a Ford Escape rated 3500lbs. Would like to spend under $5000. Any suggestions? I trout fish around the June Lake area in the Sierras'.

I'm thinking of buying a walk through boat. Whole package weighs about 2800lbs. My tow vehicle is a 2008 Ford Escape with V6 and trailer package. Do you think the car is capable or will I burn up the trans?

My dock has a raised bridge that goes out to the dock so you can't pull a line over to the dock. You would hve to pas it around trees and poles and all kinds of stuff. By myself the boat has to be started and driven to the dock. If anyone out there fishes Puddingstone Lake in Southern California...
