what a day. took me a very long time to get the motor started. i havent had that problem at all before. once i got it started when i try to get going it just bogs down, going realllllly slow, after playing with the throtle for a bit while running it finally got going. the only thing i have...

I would like to pick up my motor a bit to be able to run in shallower water. right now the the motor sits about 10 inches under the bottom of the boat. should i buy the "mini jack" ? it seems like it raises about 4 inches, not sure that would be enough. i've seen some custom jack's....but not...

took the whole family once, was not comfortable at all. won't be doing that anymore. But it fishes 3 pretty well, and comfortable. and yes, we do have life vests.

i took apart the foot pedal, and it's chip board is burned up :( looks like i need a new foot pedal. if i were to get a wireless remote, do i need the foot pedal?

yeah, i'm going to do that. i'm hoping that it's fixable.

I have a bow mount minn kota trolling motor. yesterday after manuevering through some lilly pads, my foot peddle started smoking, and even some fire started coming out of it! I had to disconnect the TM from the battery to stop it. It only would give me trouble when trying to accelerate, not when...

zum that looks nice!!! i'm seeing lots of different ways to go about doing this. i'm now thinking of just adding a base coat, of army green, or tan. right now it is grey. then just make some big blobs and paint them different colors

any suggestions? what would be the easiest way to camo my boat? should i just base paint it army green, and spray some black and brown blobs? nothing fancy. or would that look like crap. any tips would be appreciated

Just got her not too long ago. has a nice trolling motor up front, with battery in the front bench seat for trolling motor, and one in the back for electronics, lights, and live well. I keep looking on here to get ideas. Love the site. Its nothing bad ***, but gets the job done.

yeah, i had the kids and the wife in it. we did pretty good, one day it was really choppy out there and it was fine. it isn't really narrow, it's pretty wide.

i recently got an 18 hp tohatsu 4 stroke, I have it pushing a 12 jon. i was wondering if 21 mph with 4 people in it sounds about right? with one i got it up to 24, 2 people 22. i thought it would go a little faster. what do you all think?

Thats exactly what i did. I didnt realize that the fittings i had were the wrong size, i went over to west marine and picked up fittings that looked totally different. Instead of it being the two barb fitting at the tank, i have a chrome plated male adapter with a slip ring on it, and on the...

sorry so long on the response, i am talking about plastic shads, i try to rig them so that they are "weedless" but either i'm buying the wrong shad, or a combo of wrong shad/ hook. i bought a few different size off set hooks, each time i set it up, i cant seem to get it so that the shad is...

thats what i think it is. the fittings are not the right size, mainly on the tank. The gas seeps out from the fitting when i try to prime it. How do i know which size is the right one for my set up? is tahatsu a certain size? i have a standard wal mart 6 gallon gas tank.

You mentioned the connectors being too big? how do i know what size to get? i threw away the package that the yamaha hose and bulb came in. i guess i could go back to wal mart and see if it recommends the size that it would need.

My primer ball is always parrallel to the floor. that could be one issue.Should the gold plug on the tank be facing up or is it ok to be pointing down? can i shorten the line a bit? it is too long i believe

there is a short hose connected from the tanks to the bulb, then a longer one going to the motor. i'd say its around 1 and a half.

I use mostly worms on jig heads. should i use jig heads with shads? or a different type of hook.

this is a new set up for me. i have done some upgraging to it, love it so far! the primer ball doenst pump up hard at all, and it is new. Bought it at Walmart, yamaha 7' cable. purchased connectors, and the gold valve for the tank. i dont believe it's vented. ibought a new gas tank to see if...

I have a 12 ft john boat with an 18 hp tohatsu. I use a 6 gallon gas tank. The problem is, when i have the hose plugged in with the connectors i cant get any gas to the motor. I have the arrow pointing from the gas tank to motor i try to prime it and it seems to do so, but it wont get gas to it...
