  1. Those corporate penny pinchers at the top just don't seem to understand the problems of the common fishing man.
  2. There is a setting in the menu for navigation mode, I think, that makes running easier to see your position. Look in manual, thought mine had a problem as well. I am at work not by unit or I would tell you how to correct it. When I get home I will locate info and post for you.
  3. Am inquiring as to the proper gauge wiring that would be needed to handle 2 humminbird units, 798 and 998, 2 other humminbird 788 and 1198. They will be wired direct to the battery running from the stern of the boat to the bow( 2 units ), and from the stern to the steering console ( 2 units ) in separate runs to each location. They will be fused but not sure on amperage to use thinking 3 or 5 amp. Was thinking 16ga wire would handle it but wanted some input. The manual says 18ga and 3 amp, but I am running 2 units and the distance in an 18 foot boat was wondering if the heavier wire would be a better choice. Thanks for the help. TR.
  4. I am interested, even though button sticks. make an offer for both and lets talk.
  5. I saw a 5500c Black Ambassador reel you had in another picture. Is it for sale also? Could you send more pictures of it as well and a price?
  6. What payment methods do you accept?
  7. Would you happen to have some pictures of the reel??
  8. I am interested if you still have it. 417-880-7466 live in NIxa would pick up/ Timmy
  9. do you haul any with you on the road, I would come down and pick it up from Yall.
  10. Yes you are correct cars do run just fine on ethanol fuel, but your car very rarely if ever sits for weeks or maybe a month at time and it is not 2 stroke. Ethanol fuel it self is not the problem, Phase separation and water absorbsion are the culprits in 2 stroke engines that require oil in the fuel to oil your cylinders. Phase separated fuel will smell and look totally different than any Gas you have ever been around. Stations fuel can separate in the tanks even very busy stations, the only way to salvage separated fuel is to add multiple gallons of isopropal alcohol to the tank and aggitate till it absorbs the water were it can be burned thus increasing the acohol percentage. If you want to know why I know this is because i worked for a company that built and repaired fuel station equipment and we got regular calls to fix separated fuel and a station will spend some money to not loose 3000 gallons of fuel. For you old timers remember HEET, if you ever looked at the ingreidients Alcohol It fixes water in fuel. Ethanol bad for 2 strokes and anything that sits for extended periods of time and anything carburated.
  11. In years past you could buy the excess rods on your website, I no longer see that feature. am i looking inthe wrong place?
  12. For a bass boat boat prop there is no one better, than John. He will get you exactly what you need.
  13. I had the priviledge of taking 2 high school student to a tournament at Lake of the Ozarks on March 28. It was cold rainy snowing and we had a blast. The tourney had 82 boats registered, so If the fishing was aging when have you seen an adult tournament with that kind of entries.

  16. I think I'm losing cylinder at least 1 boat usually runs 60 miles hour and 5900 rpm easily but only got 47 mile an hour and a little under 5000 at wide open throttle very hard to plane off
  17. Is there a way to test switch boxes on a mercury 175 carbureted engine
  18. Yes he did, Dave told me mine shipped today, so Champ you be nice to Dave. His time from order to ship is faster than a Nascar pit crew. I cant wait to try this out with the proper equipment. Thanks Dave.
  19. Yea Kinda sounded better in your head, but I agree that is how I throw them and twitch them to the side it it easier for me to get the action and I can see the line easier, My hookset is a sweep motion and I believe I miss less fish that way.
  20. I am a fan of the prescription Oakley line of lenses. They seem to be the best at no distortion on wrap around lens prescription sunglasses. I buy a pair about every 4 years due to my eyes changing more than anything. They are pricey but I think worth every penny and they last me a long time so its not so bad.
  21. Ok, What channel are you guys watching this show on I have looked and cannot find it . HELP ME PLEASE. Thanks
  22. I am looking to fish the Aunts Creek area to KC/Mill Creek area this Sat. Are the ramps frozen and can you fish it safely with out tearing up your equipment on the ice??
  23. I have the same affliction, I have to have sunglasses in prescription to function. The best I have found are Oakely sunglasses. There lens when curved are the only ones that do not distort your vision when you look to the side. They are pricey but for me the last around 4 years and I wear them alot, not just when fishing. They offer polarized, antiglare coatings, and mirrored lens and several frame styles to chose from. They are strong lens and great frames.
  24. TFO makes a fine spinning rod as well. $100.00. not sure what action on spinning rod I would choose but have never had an issue with there equipment. I use 8 lb line and a baitcaster thats why I use a lite action rod.
