Hey @Dutch I should be selling myself but, if you will set the 1/8 and 1/4 oz no barb aside for me I will come by in a few weeks and pay you, turkey hunting then crappie fishing slow down, if ok with you. Thanks

I was by there today, they have some large circus tents (the good ones) set up in the lot between Wonders of Wildlife and the boat showroom, looks like it will be quite a show...... count me out.

good plan

Made a run after lunch, put in at Hermitage water temps 59-60 looking for one of my brush piles ran into a large school of white bass just roaming in the middle of a cove thru a roadrunner thru them, fast and furious 8 to the boat in short order then they moved on. Nicer size than I have encountered since the die off a few years back. Spotted some crappie over brush, 22 fow, about 15 feet deep, monkey milk bobby garland SwimR produced 3 nice crappie. Got tired of fighting the wind came in about 1630

@HamIf you choose to go corded, I have a few corded, both 12v and 110 that I am sure you have something I can trade you for or give you.

There are several versions of some made at the welding shop in Whitesville north of Gassville AR may be some down that way.

I did try one of these on my 9.9 on the white river boat, worked pretty good but but rocks can be lodged between the prop and protector stopping progress.( I do have two of these on the shelf that I am not using that could go for half off) https://www.propsavers.com/products/river-runner-size-d

I have wondered if one of these might work: https://www.basspro.com/p/marinetech-products-panther-marine-motor-tilt-and-trim-and-electro-steer-lightweight-outboard-aluminum-bracket

I have a bubba, have changed it to Mr. Twister blades. It works fine @BilletHead has a Rapala. If I buy another it will be a Rapala as I have had the opportunity to compare both side by side on white bass and crappie. The Rapala is a bit faster. my two cents

We ran similar then improved due to the long handle getting hung on sweepers when floating. Installed a shifter mechanism much like a riding lawnmower deck lift with a cylinder assist (came off junk car station wagon back door lifts) I have one buddy in his 90s may still have one around or remember enough to draw a blueprint. Will check

Sorry Phil, Jackson was a good dog we always enjoyed him.

As Basil Bacon told me several years ago, "I fished away 3 farms trying to get my name in the paper" did not recommend as a career choice.

My 1983 Mariner(Yamaha) has never needed parts other than water pump impellers......but it is a two stroke obviously.
