    motor wotor come down HELP

    okay I guess it was such a dumb question nobody wanted to reply. BUT if anybody does read this that is wondering how it turned out, it was just that the boat was on an incline side to side. when I put it on level ground it came down no problem. I guess the piston was in a bind

    right prop

    bought a 2014 merc 30hp tiller with no prop. I have read the owners manuel and it is talking about using a tach to get right pitch and size so motor isn't over reving. is it really that difficult. I mean seems like you would have to buy a couple and try each one or take it to a boat shop...

    North Central Texas Lakes

    high water. they don't want some drunk crashing a jet ski into a picknic table that is submerged or water skiers crashing threw those cables stretched from pole to pole along the road sides. government has to protect the crazys from them selves.

    North Central Texas Lakes

    Fairfield is perfect but it doesn't catch the runoff the bigger lakes do. we took 10 cats off jugs Friday night all in the 5lb range and managed a cooler full of tilapia with bows. if you bass fish try something that looks like crawfish. we saw lots of them in the lights in and on the grass in...

    Shallow Ramp Launching (updated with picture)

    another option may be to coat the bottom of your boat with something. academy sells a product called coat it for 20 bucks. I used gator glide and can slide my boat around on the trailer easy. most likely a combination of several of these suggestions will have you fixed right up.
