    Cleaning Impeller

    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...

    Delaware River smallies

    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...

    Delaware River smallies

    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...

    NEPA Delaware River?

    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...

    Cavitation on top end

    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.

    New boat advice upper Mississippi river MN

    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...

    Where to buy a console?

    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.

    How shallow will my boat run?

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

    Do you use the kill switch cord?

    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.

    pods on a jet?

    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.

    NEPA Delaware River?

    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.

    NEPA Delaware River?

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

    Do I want a jet lower???

    Go with what you really want, new boats are a lot of money. My sea ark has a big front deck cause the front fuel tank extends a good anount plus It has a descent sized rear deck. Perfect layout for how I fish and 30-35 mph is plenty fast when your dodging rocks. If like the alweld then go for...

    NEPA Delaware River?

    Its not too bad just have to dress right. Hot hands and foot warmers help when its cold. Rain gear for when its windy. Did ok today, spent more time searching for them than catching. Once I found them I had 3 pretty quick. I want some rain/snow so this river gets really high, might lose a few...

    Do I want a jet lower???

    I can only comment on the sea ark, I have the rxjt 170. Just got it a week ago but so far ive been happy with it on the river. Has a 75 etec which is the biggest I could get on it. Loaded down with two batteries, all my fishing gear and 21 gallons of fuel it does 30-35 mph which is plenty fast...
