    Mid 1980’s Mercury 35 wire corrosion

    I noticed the wire insulation and corrosion on these two wires today. I don’t know much about outboard engines and think this is a switch box of some kind from searching boats.net for what this part is. So that’s how little I know.

    Change a transom mount trolling motor for use on the bow.

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    You might check with “2nd chance tackle” on youtube. I watch him often and he seems to have quite a stash of parts reels and has old Mitchell service and repair videos. He is in New England and says to email him with questions.

    Worms Anyone?

    CN, on the drop shot I have not tried that but when I hear it mentioned my thought is that I presume you send it to the bottom and my question is do you drop it right next to the boat or shoreline to keep the line vertical and the bait up off of the bottom? That way or cast it out horizontal and...
