    40HP on a Lowe 1652?

    Keep in mind powered watercraft arent allowed on the river in city limits. I run a 40 on my 18 foot and its enough for 2 but especially in runoff I would recommend a 60 if you are going to have 3 heavier people on board.

    Jet Wings

    what material are those made from? thinking I could make them out of lexan very easily, and they would be almost invisible too. I assume they attach via the intake bolts?

    awesome thanks again. I dont have any spare parts so I will have to wait til I get a new impeller before I get too agressive, managed to sharpen it in place so I will order a new one with the extras.

    stuck impeller

    Trying to get the impeller off my Johnson 40 jet, Outboard jets says "It is usually necessary to bump the impeller counter clockwise on the shaft until the keyway is perpendicular to the flat, (centered over the flat)" my question is how would I bump it, tried tapping it but it doesnt move. is...

    porpoising

    thats cool, I saw a picture of plates on the transom somewhere, I guess its something I will have to experiment with in the spring since my boat now has a couple feet of snow on it :( much as Im looking forward to the ice fishing season, I cant wait to get back on the river!

    porpoising

    I do a lot of fishing by myself, and especially on windy days my 18 foot boat can get pretty squirrely on the front end. Kinda fun but a pain the the posterior as well. I was told to put a couple sandbags up front to keep it down, but being a redneck this is what I came up with, works great, and...

    Anyone have any videos of there local rivers?

    This video is shot again from my friend lynx, high water late May this year: start up the Oldman river, then down and through the channel above the forks over to the Bow river and down it to the junction of the two rivers. Down the South Saskatchewan a bit then turned around and back up the Bow...
