    Lots of fun fishing in the ocean.

    I would be tempted to get a boat for future saltwater trips too. I have fished a lot on the ocean, this would upset me. Tim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcLV2CWi8oI

    Rend lake IL report

    Fished Rend Lake in Illinois on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In spite of all the rain and inclement weather we were able to catch hundreds of crappie, most small of course but enough good sized ones to make it a successful trip and a lot of fun. Fish were caught in 2 foot or less of water very...

    tilt and trim manual release valve

    Looking for the following part for my omc 1988 T&T unit for 50hp johnson, listed everywhere as obsolete / unavailable. There is a small rubber "nipple" on the end, cannot be seen in photo that is leaking on mine and causing a slow leakdown on the unit when it is up. Any of you guys got any ideas...

    one for the ages

    A wood boat only a tinboater can appreciate. $ is kinda steep too but what do you expect for a one of a kind custom made cruiser. Tim https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/boa/5368264630.html

    Just got back from lake Barkley, KY, 5 days of fishing. It was not good, caught very few crappie and not much of anything else either. Lake / river had all sorts of WOOD floating down it, everything from 2 foot limbs to huge logs 20 foot long floating down it. I mean it was full of this stuff...

    convert johnson 48 spl to tiller

    I have a 1989 johnson 48 spl with remote control / console. Outboard runs good but I always wish it were a tiller. Saw a tiller on ebay other day for $125 but only had 20 minutes left so I did not buy it. In any case, remote control works good but having a tiller would free up space in my boat...

    Do you use the kill switch cord?

    My old boat / motor did not have a kill switch cord so obviously never used it. My "newer" boat / motor has one at the controls and to be honest with you, I have never used it. I know I should, I think I am even breaking the law not using it. How many of you use it? Tim

    tune a battery?

    Anybody ever hear of tuning a battery to the car it is being installed in? Buddy of mine (who is a bit gullible) took his PT Cruiser into a dealer for some work, new tie rods, oil change and new battery. Dealer asked him if he wanted the battery tuned to his car? Buddy said yes, no explanation...

    Braidwood Lake, IL

    Fished on 8/14/2014 10am to 3:30pm. Lots and lots of very small channel cats and 1 little bass. Lake is a power plant cooling lake, it is hot. In some areas it is 90 deg, did not encounter any water less than 83 deg. Would have been out there sooner but 48hp johnson would not turn over, verified...

    douche the outboard

    I don't have any water / cooling problems on my outboard but I heard of people using a garbage can filled with water and a gallon of plain old vinegar to flush an outboard out, hey it works on coffee makers. To remove mineral deposits of course. I don't think the vinegar would damage anything...
