Most times I put fish in my fancy live well they die, both my live wells are storage and a fish kill bag gets the days catch, nice and cold.

Not in the north but I use non e gas and stabil and keep tank full. Have never drained a fuel system. Starts right up after sitting two months.

If you think stabil will save you put some e gas in a clear glass jar with stabil and sit it on a shelf in your shed. I saw phase separation in three months, water on bottom right where you pick up tube is in your fuel tank and fuel on top. This means you will get a pure surge of water to your...

I know the feeling of having your boat unload itself in the middle of the ramp. I waxed the bottom of my brothers boat with liquid speed and it sped right off the trailer on the ramp, 16 ft skeeter with 150 GT Johnson. 10 trucks waiting to load their boats. At least we had plenty help dragging...

The pressure washer will work wonders in the 4000 psi range then a nice sand down with 80 grit and a fresh coat of roll on smooth monstaliner in any color you want and she will be good to go for years. You can roll on monstaliner getting a professional looking job and tough as a nail. Also makes...

After loosing one 2001 25 HP Yamaha 4 stroke outboard and one 3 year old 300.00 Echo weed eater to ethanol I run the recommended amount of red stabil and a once of sea foam per 5 gal to my fuel at all cost and never ever use ethanol fuel in anything but my truck. Once you feel the pain of a few...

Let us know how it works out, I run the same motor but 24volt

Just sent my first of six Garcia Orra S 40 spinning reels back for repair under warranty. Not sure what happened but the bail would not close, seemed like a simple fix so my dumb butt decided to open her up and fix it, well an hour and 20 parts scattered all over the floor later I gave up. I...

One reason not to use bearing buddies is they pressurize the hub, hub has a rear seal. What happens to the rear seal when you put pressure on the hub ? Ever wonder why you have grease on the back side of your wheels when bearing buddies I mean killers is used. The pressure blows out the seal and...

Think I would find a new color I could buy reasonable and repaint the whole boat. Tracker makes it easy to buy a new boat but after the sale is over any tracker accessories needed is a real pita. I have a new Tracker boat and Trailer. Was told by the dealer to go buy accessories elsewhere or...

I think your kidding but if not I don't want to run my tiller in the middle of my back. The seat mount in my Tracker 1648 was in the middle so I mounted one to starboard and forward which makes running the tiller to your side and not behind your back. Much more comfortable and safe to operate...

After going thru three of the CMCs in five years I decided buying my motors with factory PTT is a must. I replaced relays on all three. Keeping them completely dry is a must or they will short out in a few months. On a side note I have yet to break a factory PTT in 30 years of boating. Adjusting...

If you have screw in pedestals like mine they may be unscrewing a little and rocking by sitting up on the threads like mine are doing they are swivel ease and I'm fixing to cut the freeking threads off so they will stay pushed all the way down. No matter how hard I screw them in when you swivel...

Yikes never even thought about dirt dobbers destroying my engine, I will be removing my hood a little more often to check on them little buggers.

Been back to the Hill a few times and still catching crappie in 10 to 18 ft of water over brush piles. I don't fish spawning crappie so the time frame of spawning don't effect me much. The biggest trouble we have is the weekly cold fronts. Last weekend it was a bust major cold front shut them...
