Thanks for the info yall. I have the confidence to go with Blink marine now. I really didn't want to rewire the whole boat anyway.

Try a nylon (the harder plastic) power prop. They always seem to give better thrust than the machete ( i've never ran the aluminum one ). Also try an aluminum prop nut such as the eliminator by TH...
Like the title says what can i do to fix this. I already know i can get a new one from blink marine but going back to something that might fail when you need it most ( tournament day ) doesn't seem...
A Ford Tractor & a Nissan pickup. We use to run trotlines in a creek arm and on one particular set we kept hanging up on an old junk pile. One day the line was hung and we went to pulling until it...
Thanks for all of the info yall. I will pass all of this along to my uncle. He will probably take it to a qualified technician to do the repairs. He just wanted to avoid going to the local merc...
This is a post for my uncles motor that is having some trouble. We have noticed fuel in the top oil reservoir on top of the motor. It does not want to take off in forward but has full power in...
Don't watch the weather & get caught out in 3 footers in a 14ft v hull with a 4 horse. The only thing I could do was to point the bow straight into the wind & throttle down. I was lucky to make it to...
A little residue leftover is fine but the old carpet fragments will have to go because they will eventually cause your new carpet to peel/come unstuck in those places. I suggest using acetone, a rag,...
Don't know if this counts but mine is a 1961 Sea King Model PDUT - 14 built by the Rebco division of South West MFG. CO. AKA Arkansas Traveler. It is a 14ft aluminum shallow v hull boat. It...
Tracker used a lot of non closed cell spray in foam to frame/support their decks. A lot of these boats unless they were garaged kept & babied for most of their life tended to waterlog. Tracker had a...
+1 on Frozen water bottles.
This would be from way back in the day but I remember my dad's red & silver 94 2000DC & the several that my uncle went through ( also early 90's 2000 DC models ) very well. My uncle went though two...
I'd say it's defiantly worth looking at. It is an SX 200 ( the zx models didn't have a splash well in 01 ) it will have a composite transom & fiberglass stringers. It will have wood floors though....
I would check the structural integrity of the boat first before putting any more $$$ into it. Check the transom by standing/bouncing on the cav plate of the motor there should be little to no give at...
To be honest the best line I've found so far for that application is the MR. Crappie mono. Super limp & abrasion resistant. I've pulled 2lb slabs out of brush piles without a nick, or rough spot on...
If the boat needs to be re carpeted than more than likely the trailer needs new carpet too. Just another thing you might want to consider before ordering/buying carpet.
Agreed upon.
I was just responding to the original post/question.
(for deep diving cranks with appropriate line and rod figured in already? Lets hear it....if the reel is tuned/upgraded i wanna...
Skeet Reese Magnum Crank Bait 7'10'' with a Quantum US 300 round reel with Berkley 15lb Big Game & a 10XD I can throw between 70 & 75 yards on average. I test cast in my front pasture; I have it...
Another option is to enlist the help of a few good friends ( I'd say at least 4 ) to physically pick up & remove the top cap. One of my fishing buddies did this when he rebuilt his Cajun bass boat....
I love my Abu Garcia round reels. I have 2 5600 c4's, 2 4600 c3's, 1 6600 pro max, 1 5600, pro max, 1 5500 c3, an old red 5000, and a super tuned Royal Express II ( a bass pro exclusive reel; a 6500...

In my opinion yes. Pulls the boat better, much quieter, & actually goes through vegetation better. I only use two props on my MotorGuide I run the 2 blade power prop & the Machete. I have an aluminum...
Don't forget it also keeps the dirt divers out.
Try greasing the locking pins. The mounts will loosen up over time but you will always have to step on it but with a lot less pressure than when it was new. 10 years later I still have to step on it...
My best is a 10.5 out of lake Fork last march. It was caught on a 1/4oz spinner bait. Even at that weight it still was a slot fish at 23inches long. Now only if I could figure out how to get the...
