Thanks everyone I disconnected the cable at steeering box. The tube at motor is fine, the steering box is shot. Tried everything to get wheel off, frozen on shift. Sawzall did the trick. Waiting on parts, new wheel and box

My steering control box (the unit behind the wheel) is very stiff. Takes a lot to turn the wheel. Tried to pull the unit and cannot get the wheel off. I am afraid of doing damage to helm prying and banging. I am willing to just buy a new wheel and control unit and cut everything apart...

Thanks for reporting. I am dying to get out on the beach

Anyone do anything cool to the boat or tackle while waiting for spring? I am repurposing my striper lures to chase muskie. Changing some hooks to thinner wire and repainting to trout patterns (just brush painting to change colors not fancy or nice) Mostly doing some magic swimmers and stick...

I used it to deck out my 16' mirrocraft after originally using plywood. About the same weight. Covered with Overton deck grip paint. I am over aluminum bracing so no chance of rot ever. Much better then wood!

Yellow bass? Look like white bass or hrbrids?

WV prayers for you. Been tooling around in my tin boat and catching On a muskie hunt now lol

Take the hydrofoil off. It just serves to slow ypu down. My BIL put one on my 25hp 16ft boat. When i took it off gained almost 5mph top end For 1k you did good with that boat

Thanks Dale. I isually do a trip to the cape in the spring / early summer and the Vineyard in the fall. Not this year though.... .

I have been a member here for 13 years Not as active anymore just due to less fishing mostly I am now living in NE Pa. Cooler weather but more smallmouth in lakes. Longer drive to the salt which sucks. Cheap land here so a plus Lots of changes for me and for Tin Boats still a great site...
