Getting my boat back out and ready for fishing now that my son is interested and old enough to go fishing on it. It's sat more or less for the past 2 years. Am getting ready to tackle changing out the water pump impeller, but wanted to see if anyone had any tips/tricks before I get started. Did...

Any particular brand of tire covers you guys recommend for your boat trailer tires? I have 4.80-12 size tires, and that equals about 21" when mounted and inflated. Have a new set of tires to go on and want to keep these from dry rotting as quickly. My current set isn't terrible, but are showing...

I have a Pyle marine 2 channel amplifier with 2 6.5" speakers. Works great, but the issue I'm having is the switch (SPST) on my 5 gang panel will not turn it off. I confirmed the switch is working correctly by using a multi meter to confirm there is no voltage coming from the hot (out) to the...

1994 Johnson 50/35 on a riveted 1996 Tracker 1648. With 2 guys and fishing gear I use to get upper 20's spinning at 53-5400 rpm's. Nowadays I'm down in the lower 20's spinning 51-5200 at WOT. Compression is good and even on the motor which has 75 hours after a complete rebuild a few years ago...

Wanting to get rid of the quick connects on my fuel line for my 1994 Johnson 50/35 jet. I always seem to end up with issues with the quick connects. I've replaced probably 3 sets of them in 5 years. Yesterday I had some issues starting and I realized my bulb on my fuel line wasn't very firm...

Took a short family vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina last week. My brother and I rented a half day inshore charter as a Father's Day gift for my Dad. Fished the Pamlico Sound with Bak Bar Charters out of Hatteras. Can't say enough good things about Captain Will and his operation. We...

Good condition Humminbird Matrix 97 Sonar/Chartplotter with SD card slot for uploading/downloading waypoints (SD card not included). Comes with transducer, power cable, user manual, external GPS attached to the Matrix 97 mounting bracket and 1" Ram mount base that fits on the Matrix mounting...

Figured I'd get some more specific responses here instead of the electronics section. Anyway, picked up a Humminbird Helix and am curious as to how well the transducer will work with my setup. I know the outboard can get in the way of the sonar signal and I figured my jet foot wouldn't be in the...

I have a dent or two in my Tracker 1648 hull bottom that I'm pretty sure is effecting my performance. Loosing about 5 mph at WOT. Previously with my '94 Johnson 50/35 I was getting upper 20's and now I'm in the low 20's. Only other thing I can think of is water logged foam, but I replaced the...

I need to replace the axle on my trailer since the spindles have seen better days. Figured now is a good time to replace the leaf springs, if they need it. They are rather rusty, but not sure if it's just surface rust or something more. They are also stretched out about 1/2" when unloaded...

Need to either replace both spindles on my trailer or the entire axle. Have a buddy who is a good welder and says he can replace the spindles, but I'm concerned about getting them good and square to avoid tire issues in the future. How difficult of a job is it to ensure the new spindles are...

While doing my yearly maintenance before hunting season gets started, I noticed one of my intake grates is fairly bent. I've smacked my foot several times over the years, even destroying one, but have never had a bent grate. Should I pop the pin out to remove the grates and straighten out the...

Anyone know where to find these? Only seem to come with the kit that includes the prop nut and tool.

I have an older Motorguide Tracker Pro-Series 40 that I'm trying to get the prop off of. Have taken the plastic prop nut off, but cannot get the prop off the shaft. Is there a trick to it I'm missing? I want to see if the props on either of my 2 transom mount TM's will fit it so I can take a...

Recently purchased a used Humminbird Matrix 97 from a member on here. The software is way out of date, probably original, and I'm trying to save all of the waypoints for the previous owner. I attempted to do so using a 2GB standard SD card but the unit would not read/recognize the card to update...

Anyone have any experience with these? I just rewired my MotorGuide 12/24 volt trolling motor from 12V to 24V to get more power (that is DESPERATELY needed). In doing so I will be pulling power from my starting battery instead of just the trolling motor battery. I did not want the expense, and...

Will be taking a fishing trip the end of March for mostly Largemouth and a little Crappie action. I'm good on my Largemouth lures and techniques, but have never targeted Crappie. So I'm not really sure what I should be getting for lures and techniques to use. Doing a little research it looks...

What type/brand of reel grease and oil would you guys recommend? I have a Shakespeare spinning reel I need to tear down, clean up and re-grease/oil to hopefully get it in better condition.

Heading there with a buddy the last week in March. We are taking his bass boat so will be on our own fishing for a few days. Have never been before and wanted to see if anyone on here had some experience or hints they'd like to share?
