    Woah Woah Wait....Back up..... So there's a g/f ?!!!! ?? ?? ?? (Which one is the closest fit?)

    Drive shaft shop! I actually need to find one of those. I have a '99 Suburban with a mysterious vibration at certain speeds. Nobody has ever been able to pinpoint it's source, so we just crank up the stereo and try to ignore it, assuming that eventually something will break....And then we'll know what to fix. I am NOT a car/truck mechanic. Hate working on them.

    It will start shaking after they get good and hot. Sometimes you don't notice it unless you are coasting.
  5. fishinwrench
    Feel your wheel hubs (carefully),. If one or both is hotter than hell then you have a brake dragging.

    You won't have to run very far at all. Start right close to home and learn Salt hollow and Miller hollow like the back of your hand, then you can take everything you learn there and go just about anywhere else on the lake.

    I use the SK Rage Swimmer, and I lay them straight in a Plano box, no issues. Jacking around with those clam packages in the boat is out of the question. I hate them. If a few get kinked I'll stew them, but so far none have.

    Nothing wrong with your fly-tying skills, that's for sure, I was just suggesting you try one a little more squared. It won't look like a squared off wedge after you fish it awhile but for me that is a better way to initially shape them at the vice. That might just be because I don't pack the hair super tight though.

    Ronnie is more concerned about how a fly looks in a picture with a cool background than he is whether or not it catches fish. ?
  10. fishinwrench
    Not bad ? For what it's worth...If you trim the head in a squared off wedge shape (instead of rounded off) the fly has way better action. Try one like that and you'll see. Stick you some googly bubble eyes on the side edges and that dog will definitely hunt.

    I really miss froggin'. My mom loved frog legs more than anything, and every year just before the 4th of July we'd go get a huge mess. Mom would get all liquored up, spread newspaper on the kitchen floor and wait for us to get home. We'd walk in all muddy and stinking, and there she'd be sitting cross-legged on the kitchen floor drunker than a hoot owl with a knife and a pair of pliers. Good times! You can really only appreciate that if you knew how prissy and professional my mom was. She'd go full Redneck over a mess of frogs though. ?

    If you don't get booted for saying Honkey I'm gonna be pithed. ?

    Why Pig noses ? Of all the animals whose nose a person could eat..... They've chosen the lowly pig. Could a pigs nose taste any different than the nose of a horse, dog, or giraffe ? I bet not.

    I have run into issues with the cheesy 3-5 amp fuse links getting corroded. The pins will still show 12v on the voltmeter but will drop voltage when the circuit is put under a load. If there is a fuse link in-line you might pull it apart and clean the contacts with a wire brush.
  16. fishinwrench
    That's a head scratcher. If you have 12v at the pins then it should power up.

    I think the upper float would be my choice if going tomorrow. It's still a foot high and will settle down and clear up faster the higher up you go.
  18. fishinwrench
    One of the pins in the harness is a 12v positive, and another pin will be the negative side of the power circuit. Both need to be completed circuits. If you were catching a ground somewhere other than the sonar units harness when you tested for voltage then you truly haven't tested the complete circuit that powers up the sonar unit, you only tested 1/2 of it. Make sense?
  19. fishinwrench
    Unless he was referencing a certain model that I'm not familiar with, he was wrong. All of the Lowrance units I know about will remain booted up at 10v.
  20. fishinwrench
    When you are checking for voltage at the bow harness are you also testing for a good ground connection at the harness plug itself ?
  21. fishinwrench
    Your voltmeter is either inaccurate, or you have a bad connection in your power harness or fuse panel/fuse link. Lowrance units shut down at 9.5 - 9.9 volts.

    Raw fuel/oil leaking out the exhaust is either a bad fuel pump diaphragm, or a stuck carburetor float valve. Sounds like you are due a fuel system overhaul at the very least. About 375.00 parts & labor on a 99 Merc 50 So just B.O.A.T (Bend Over And Take it). ?
  23. fishinwrench
    Well he said work on the "boat". Maybe he just needs a new bilge pump installed, got a anchor light out, stereo doesn't work, stuff like that.
  24. fishinwrench
    I've never seen a problem with the G-24/1000MCA not being enough to power up everything on the boat dependably.

    Ya know what the disappointing thing is about BIG crappie ? They are all head and tail....There isn't a 1/2 bite more meat on that one than there is a 12 incher.
