Probably the stupid WIND. You could go barefoot like the guys on the saltwater skiffs do. Or you could use a laundry basket on the deck....Or, when a perfect double-haul really matters, you can leap 3 feet in the air, tucking your heels into your butt cheeks, as you make your final hail-Mary throw. 👍 Seriously though, what works best for ME is to just make a quick glance down to inspect the mess on the deck before each cast. And just concentrate on not moving your feet from that point until all the line is out of the boat. The style of shoes you wear matters too. The absolute worst are any sandals, flip-flops or anything with velcro flaps instead of laces.

Just get it over with. You can have it for cost+ 20.00 Notice there's no core value ! 😂

Yeah I forgot about THAT. I lied like a rug in that thread. 🤪

JFTR,. if @BilletHead or @fshndoug repeat a story I told them, and it's a lie...... Then it is THEM who are responsible for it. Not ME !

If you drop one during the swap process, or it gets dropped on the floor at the parts store, that can sho'nuff happen.

Bad, or crusted over Oxygen sensor would be my guess. Especially if there's no noticable loss of power, or no sensation of an actual misfire. If it is a single exhaust setup then there are 3 (three) O2 sensors. If dual exhaust then there may be 4 A leaky head gasket, or intake manifold gasket will allow a bit of coolant into the exhaust and throw an emissions code. If you get a whiff of antifreeze when you first start the truck in the morning.....then this may be the clue. That's also the reason that you're supposed to use the orange Dex-Cool instead of regular green anti-freeze. Next guess would be a fouled spark plug or bad plug wire.

Everybody claims to think I'm full of $#!t, so even if I did disclose a valuable area..... nobody would believe it. 😎

I'm afraid to click that link. 😅

It's not the shooting that hinders the process, it's the editing and putting together a video that, when finished and posted, doesn't give everyone a headache. Or put them to sleep.

I don't know about that. I know a guy with 540k+ followers and he ain't anywhere near considering quitting his 18.00/hr. job. Stu has 180k+ followers...and he makes more from MEC than he does from YT.

Yes I was successful the ONE time I did it. But there are much easier ways to make 500 bones......So I'm not ever doing it again, and hope you never have to either. 😅

Well you're kinda wrong. The OTHER way to make money by posting videos is to have a company SPONSOR you. MEC doesn't care if I only have 2 followers (you and my wife), as long as there's a way for them to catalog and link to the videos.

Really? You can make 500.00/mo. by posting 1 video per week without a sponsor ? Why aren't you doing it then? Hell, why isn't EVERYBODY doing it ?

To make money! It isn't enough to inspire me to sit and edit all evening long in order to produce quality videos.....but it would be kinda cool. I could have alot of fun with it. I thought that Tidecraft bought Cobra out. Lightweight and quite fast.....on slick water.

What do they charge to install a primer bulb, so I can pump my schmeckle up like it used to be when I was in my 20's ?

You should be good then. I believe the Verado charges at 40amps. I don't see any reason why a GOOD battery should be discharged that easily. I can run 2 LCRs, a Livewell pump, charge my phone all day long while running Navonics....and never have any problem starting a V6 outboard.

That's good to know. I have some work for a good auto mechanic. Where's he located and does he want a few more projects ?

I don't consider them any better than points that AREN'T on the main channel. But if they keep the rest of you goofballs busy and out of the creek arm that I wanna fish, then I certainly won't "scoff" at them. 😁

I don't believe so. Is there one in particular that had you questioning it's validity ?

I can, but I don't want to. What do you own that is powered by a 3 cylinder honda ?

He got it to display and decorate a room.

As a whole it's a Sphere, but it does have flat spots. I was taught that in school, and contrary to many other things I've been taught or told..... I've never had a reason to doubt it.

Oh I promise that you can safely believe everything I say. Even if it's not something you WANT to hear, or WANT to know. 😎 If I've ever lied to anyone here I'd love to have it disputed and to be properly corrected.

I like it better when you try to prove that I'm wrong. 🙂

Not sure which circuit you're referring to, but there are several ball & spring valves in the trim pump assembly. Mercury's problem is that the ball/spring responsible for the leakdown is pressed into a recess, and is a nightmare to remove and replace without damaging the pump housing. Flat rate is something like 4.2 hours, so unless you can get someone to do it for 10.00/hr. you are better off just replacing the entire assembly.
