Did a load test on the batteries and one of them was weak. Replacing this week and hopefully all of my problems will be solved!

I have a 19' bass boat with a Motor Guide 80lb thrust 24v trolling motor on the bow. It has a 4 prong plug in on the front deck and the wires run to the back of the boat where there are 2 batteries. There are 4 positive and 4 negative wires. 2 positive and 2 negative wires are for the onboard...

I am in the market for another bait caster, as the only ones I have are on the lower end and I want something of better quality. I am not biased to any brand so I have been browsing for a deal during the past few months. I am thinking about buying an Abu Garcia Black Max bait caster as I have...

For sale is a 2002 Basstender 10.6 with a 1999 Evinrude 5ho 4 stroke outboard, two minn kota trolling motors and a load right bandit trailer. The boat is a 2002 Basstender 10.6 that was purchased new in 2004. It is 11' long and 60" wide. This boat is the most stable boat under 14' that I...

I am in the process of replacing the head gasket on a 1999 evinrude 5hp 4 stroke. It is ready to go back together but i do not know what tightness to set my torque wrench to when putting in the head bolts. Does anyone know how many pounds per foot or inch it should be set to?

This morning I received a flyer from Walmart in the mail composed of only fishing and camping products. It looks like they are having a spring sale on reels, rods and tackle. Anyone else notice this flyer?

Thanks for the advice. I have head many stories about engines "making oil" and after my motor started leaking oil for the first time, I changed the oil and kept it a little lower on the dip stick than before. When you experienced your engine leaking oil from the pan onto the leg (when it began...

Yes, I bought it last May. It was in great condition when I bought it but the oil problem started right away once I ran it strong

I have a 1999 evinrude 5hp 4 stroke that has been giving me much trouble. It runs great but after running at high rpm's for a few minutes it will loose power, drop to idle, start smoking and leak oil from the midsection into the water. I cant seem to figure out the problem. I have it...

Unlike most people, I am pleasantly surprised on the performance of my motor. I have a 1999 evinrude 5hp 4 stroke. This motor is huge compared to all other 5hp single cylinder motors. The lower unit is much heavier than the mercury and Honda motors and it actually weights 70 pounds. The...

I have a 1999 evinrude 5hp 4 stroke and I noticed that the 2 parts of the power head do not line up with each other. During the summer I was running the boat at WOT and all of a sudden it lost power, started to smoke and oil was dripping out where the upper exhaust port is (underneath the lower...

Last Sunday I pulled my boat out. $25 later it was on the trailer. This new ramp that was built this year at a mini gold course/ restaurant is very fancy compared to most. It has these lockable posts that prevent anyone from just backing their truck down and launching/retrieving their boat...

Depends on where his house is, didnt even know he had a house there :P

After reading all of these posts and the 115 + pages of craigslist lines on iboats forum, I think i will purchase my next boat new so I do not have to deal with these idiots.

I have a house on lake hopatcong, and it is too rough to keep my 11' boat in the water all summer, so I just put it in when I want to use it. I would launch it from my dock.... if it didn't weigh over 400 pounds with the gas motor, trolling motor and battery. I wish I could find a public ramp...

Yes i am fishing lake hopatcong. Many marinas are $20 but ther is a new one down the road from me so i figure an extra $5 for convience is worth it. And yes i am running an 11', it is crazy but usally i only take that out when it is calm, i have bigger speedboats because the lake is very choppy...

Sorry for the confusion, it is $25 each way, so $25 when going inthe water and $25 to pull it out. This is what most marinas charge, this is not the only marina that charges this much

The marinas around me charge $25 for a luanch, which might not be bad for someone with a big speedboat, but thats $50 a day for me in a 11' boat. What are you guys paying?

I was browsing evinrude's online shop and was shocked by the high prices. They want $663 for a new carb for my 1999 evinrude 5hp motor. Does anyone know a website that I can buy lower unit oil screw screws, carb rebuild kit, impeller, spark plugs and other common parts for a reasonable price?

Sweet rig, Nice motor too, the boat will really get up and go!
