Thanks for you help. My solution was to drill and tap it out to 3/8-16 thread and get a round head bolt for it and grind down the head to fit. It seals nicely, does not leak but sticks out about 1/8". I don't think that would be a problem I hope. Thanks again...

let's try the pictures again...see below

I bought a boat about a month ago and I recently changed the gear case oil on my Yamaha 60 OB. I was surprised how easy the lower screw came out. Well, when I finished filling the lubricant and went to tighten the screw it kept turning, it was stripped, not by my force :evil: . My question is...

If anyone wants to make their own Beef Jerky but you do not have a dehydrator, here is a great way (in my opinion even tastier!) You use a box fan and paper air filter elements to dehydrate the meat, it works great! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/beef-jerky-recipe/index.html

Lookin' good! :mrgreen:

Aww..c'mon now Jim, you know u want to! What's better than cruising down the river and having HUGE fish just jumping in your boat?!?! lol :mrgreen:

Can u imagine getting whacked by one of them? I heard of people getting broken bones, black eyes, concussions and countless bruises. My avatar shows me holding 2 of them. The one in my right had weighed 25 lbs and they get up to 40 lbs! A shotgun would be GREAT, LOL. :LOL2:

Stay out of ALL our lakes! I'll be hunting them every chance I get!

It's few and far between as far as hitting them out of the air. Here is a video of the flying fish... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MJQ2bPWgc0

Hey! That looks and sounds great! I'll check that out for sure, thanks!

It's illegal to shoot catfish in Illinois but yes to Common and Grass Carp, Asian Carp, Gar, Buffalo, and a few more. I don't eat anything but the Gar and Asian Carp. They both are very tasty!

Thanks! Yes, slime and fish entrails will make it difficult to stay on 2 feet. Hey, it makes it that much more fun! :roflmao:

To answer some questions... My boat is a G3 1860. Weight distribution is just fine. I have a big 60hp motor, 12 gallon gas tank and a battery in back. I won't be going faster than trolling motor speeds with it up front. It is not secured in any way. It slides right under the gunnels and locks...

Built myself a platform for a boat I just got. I can't wait for warm weather! I'm a bow fisherman so that's the main reason I built it.

Good info. Thanks!

I guess it depends on if I spend a lot of time driving around lakes quickly or just trolling mostly. I wish I could interchange the high performance fish finder from the back to the trolling motor easily (and cheaply).

First time posting to this new and fantastic site! I just purchased a 2004 G3 1860 and I want to buy a nice fish finder for it. My question is, I have a basic cheap Hummingbird fish finder right now and would like to get something really nice like the Lowrance HDS-5. Should I use the Lowrance...
