    So a buddy and I went fishing yesterday. Got the boat in the water, motor started right up. Went about 2 miles out to a potential fishing spot and killed the motor. Fished for awhile(no luck) and decided to move, turned the key and the engine cranked but would not start. I always make sure...

    Humminbird Matrix 27 with Lawrance Transducer

    I was given a Humminbird Matrix 27 (appears to be a 3 pin connector) and a Lowrance HS-WSDX Wide Angle transducer(7 pin). I cant seem to find an adapter anywhere. Anyone know if this transducer will work with the Matrix, or do I need to get a new one? Thanks!

The center console will take up more floor space, so I was considering taking out the original seat box and putting a bench seat over...

    Ok, have a question for all you Bass Tracker guys... This is a 16ft tracker, with a 40hp mariner on it. I got it out to the lake over the weekend. Once I got through half a tank of bad gas, the motor ran fine. However, it was next to impossible to get it up on a plane. Max speed according...
