  1. Yeah I should be. If not just leave a message and I'll call ya back ASAP (likely within a few minutes). Snap me a pic of the port side of the powerhead, just so I can confirm the configuration.
  2. Nightmares? Yeah there's something creepy and just not right about that place.
  3. Something about that pond just doesn't feel right. Can't put my finger on it.
  4. If you wanted to flip a 20' bass boat on purpose.....How would you do it ? Cut 90° into a big oncoming roller and throttle up hard. That might do it. I bet I couldn't do it on the first try though. I'd have to keep being stupid until finally I succeeded.
  5. Yeah they make a Terminator plug, get this on the way.... https://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Mariner-10-41506-43453T/dp/B07MJ82LLY/ref=asc_df_B07MJ82LLY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241924658829&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15139673312527494303&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9023493&hvtargid=pla-740423790437&psc=1 Some 1/4" drive metric sockets, side cutters, pair of needle nose pliers, screwdriver, and some tie straps. I'll buy your cap sensor, so actually you're gonna make money on this deal 😎
  6. Serial # ? I will need to look up the charging system on that one. Not yet familiar with it. There may be a relay in the circuit. Likely a stator and/or voltage regulator failure.
  7. Trying to imagine what it would take to flip a Charger. 🤔 Dang!
  8. Well you'd have almost 2 weeks to get it here, I'm 12 days backed up right now. Not difficult or overly technical to do. I could talk you through it...... but not today. 😊 Tues-Wed. if you wanted to grab your tools and stand on the port side of the motor, give me a call and put me on speaker, we could take care of it in about 30 minutes.
  9. I love the way the double fluke rig looks in the water, it gives me alot of confidence......But honestly I haven't had my day with it yet. And it doesn't "pitch" well, which is something I have to do here around docks.
  10. Absolutely. It's a crappy system that makes no sense at all unless you are in the habit of idling long distances, then running at 3/4 to full throttle for long distances, then idling for long distances again. If you idle a short distance then run 3-5 miles, then idle a short distance again.....the oil ratio is all wrong for the whole trip. Might as well split the difference and mix 65:1 for everything. That system with its plastic drive gear has caused more powerhead failures than anything else.
  11. The Niangua has always fished better for me when a little high, rather than a little low. Same with every other mid-sized river I fish. Smaller creeks seem to fish better when low and clear.
  12. What do you think this is, a book store ? 😂
  13. I hammered 'em once upon a time when it was 7' over normal pool by fishing the "erosion break" of the original shoreline with a jig (hula grub). It was the best day I ever had on Pomme, 17lbs and some change. They were holding tight to that eroded stairstep of the original shoreline.
  14. To hell with that. Did you know that you can auction off dirty panties for upwards of 5-600.00 a pair? Rub a power worm on a pair of undies and you can get rich off the pervs out there. There's no info in that book that you can't get for free watching YT videos. Don't be a sucker. 😉
  15. Powerbait was a hit, no denying that. He gets no points for being a scientist though. Because eventually somebody was gonna try sweaty soiled panties as a fish attractor, it was just a matter of time.
  16. Yeah, it could be the motion sensor detecting no movement in the oil pump drive gear. That will give the broken beep-beep-beep-beep tone. The motion sensor is behind the control arm just above the oil injection pump. If it is the o/i drive gear failing just terminate the oil injection and start mixing your fuel 50:1 before it eats a piston. Better have someone that knows what they are doing run a series of troubleshooting tests to make sure.
  17. What criteria determines whether something is or isn't a "gamefish"?
  18. He didn't specifically "buy it", it was on the boat that he bought. The ability to adjust motor height on the fly is not necessary unless you wanna win a race. Are you a racer or a fisherman? Who has time to be both?
  19. That's the way to do better with hookups on stock hollow body frogs.....but I don't have that kinda muscle memory so I tweak the hooks a bit (bend them up and out) and that cured that BS. I may hang up occasionally, but by golly when a fish eats it he gets stuck right now.
  20. Is that legal ? Never considered it, but bowfishing for bluegill on the beds would be fun !
  21. Wow, that's thought provoking. How long can a rose bush live ? We drove by my grandparents old place awhile back and I noticed honeysuckle and gooseberries along the property line that was there 50 years ago when I was still peeing in my pants.
