    Outraged over the new National Saltwater Angler Registery

    Re: Outraged over the new National Saltwater Angler Register The only positive would be better (hopefully) catch numbers to base limits on. Apparently all those college degrees hasn`t helped them figure out how to count. Catch reports will be coming by mail once they get their list together.

    2nd battery install ,couple of questions

    If one battery needs charging and the other is fully charged, running on both will overcharge your full battery. To eliminate that you can install a battery isolator. Without one, its best to start with the full one then switch to the dead one once running.

    Tab pump location

    I agree with halenalu. Hydraulics are like "fly by wire" . Only side effect on a properly functioning system is extreme cold as the fluid gets thicker it may get slower. length shouldn`t matter, look at backhoes and excavators.

    replacing the powerhead HELP!!!

    I assume you have everything else disconnected? (shift linkage,electrical,etc.) Without a hoist, you will need 2 or 3 guys to lift it off. I usually use a come-a-long off a big tree branch. It could be stuck together. I put some pressure with the come-a-long and rock back and forth. Do not pry...

    Yamaha Outboard 25" vs 30" Shaft Length

    I put a 25 inch on a 20 inch transom. I used brackets made by Pro-lift. They cost me 180 bucks about 3 yrs ago. Their supposed to be rated for up to 300hp. The only thing I was uncomfortable with was the increased leverage it put on the transom. I used starboard to block off some of my...

    148 more days until the boat goes in.

    At least a mild one. I`m on a trailer and now that I have a cabin boat, I hope to cod fish through the winter if I can get the weather. :D :D :D
