    Jack Plates and Outboard Jets

    Good topic fellas. I was actually looking into buying a lower unit (prop) for my jet for when i go to larger lakes and need to make a good 20plus mile run. I'm wondering if I need to lower my motor when converting to a lower unit. I beleive my transom is a 26 inch, 60/40 2007 etec dlp.

    west coast jet jons

    I currently have an outboard jet but it is my dream to make my own inboard jet. How much does it take to make your own. I'm sure it's time consuming etc. I'd like to put the uhmf plastic bottom on the boat and then put a good inboard jet into it.

    Looking for a Jet

    Ok, I'm looking for a jet for my pops. I'm not new to jet boating as I own an 1852 legendcraft with a 60/40 etec. He is looking for a 16ft no less than 48 in wide. Primary use will be fishing so he will have trolling motor, batteries, livewell etc. Anyway, we are looking to stay away from the...

    Outboard Jet RPM question.

    A buddy of mine told me to check the RPM in my owners manual for my full throtle operating rpm. Well, I did and it is rated for 5500 to 6000 rpm (2007 60 horse Evinrude e-tec) at full throtle operating range. Well, that is with an acutal lower unit and prop. Anyway, I am only getting, with my...

    Reaction Innovations "Swamp Donkey" Frog

    As nuts as that sounds, you couldn't be more right. The more funky stuff you throw at them, the harder they smack it!

    Stupid rocks! And wasps!

    Well, I was out on the river Saturday and was slammin the smallies. Best 5 I had 15 to 17lbs. Fattest bellies I've ever seen. I had to sniff one of there bellies to see if they were putting coco butter on them for the stretch marks. LOL! Anyway, back to the stupid rocks. Coming home after...

    My new boat

    Just local stuff. We don't have much water in Indy other than a couple small lakes and rivers, so it's tough fishing. Every cove seems to have a boat in it. Lots of pressure! I mean LOTS of pressure. You usually don't catch a fish without holes in there jaw. Hence the purchase of the jet...
