Guys,

Been a while since i posted. I have a 2005 185vs with 150 Yamaha (carb). I am thinking about spending some money on my boat. First step will be jackplate and a power pole (just 1). My...

I had a similar issue a few years back. I have an 05 model with Yamaha. My throttle switch was working "spotty". Turned out to be corrosion on the switch contacts. I replaced the thumb switch and...

when i say "cold start"....i don't mean cold day. I mean first start of the morning. after that.....the dude starts if you just bump the key.

My starting routine is similar but i have no "pedal".
1) Trim motor level
2) Squeeze bulb firm (may take 10-12 squeezes)
3) Pull choke lever (I like the manual choke too)
4) Crank key. ...

I have a 150VMAX carb on my Ranger. 2005 model. It's been rock solid. The only issue is cold starting. But that's minor to me. I have a starting routine that works perfect. I had to replace the...

Gents,

I am sick of fishing False River. Are the no-wake zones still in effect in the Belle River area? I think the river in BR has fallen some but maybe not enough.

Thanks,
Jason

Not sure this will solve your problem but just some more color on an issue i had that might help jog some more thoughts. The oil injection system is mechanical and very reliable. I have an old...

I have a 2005 150TLRD...carb'd Vmax. The trim gauge is stuck on high. I have a new guage but i am beginning to believe perhaps it's the sender from the outboard. Can someone tell me...

Gents,

I fished out of Adams Saturday. There were several trucks there....tourney i guess. It took me a few minutes to realize but the trailer is gone and there is no pay box. Also, grass has...

Gents,

I have an 05 185vs. The paint on the "collar" behind the steering wheel is coming off. Looks like powdery white corrosion now. I believe it is aluminum. Any idea how to paint it? I...

Gents,

My carb'd 150 Yamaha has started sneezing after a cold start. Runs fine. Is this a dirty carb? I always run Ring Free and Non-Eth gas. Sometimes the sneeze will even cause the motor to...

Ninjabruce,

I had a similar issue on the same motor about a year ago. I quit fishing one day and started my motor.....noticed it smoked and had a sheen of oil behind me in the water. Ran back...

It's been a long time since I posted.....guess my Ranger has been good or I am too busy.

I have a 2005 185vs and just recently the "reset" button on the circuit breaker has disintegrated. It's a...

I have a 2005 Yamaha 150 (carb'd) motor. I noticed last week that I had oil leaking into the water and more smoke at idle. When I got back to ramp, it appears the oil tank under the cowl had...

Gents,

I need to replace my front graph....old monochrome Garmin from 2005. I have not looked seriously but I have looked at the 7" models from Lowrance and Humminbird. I really want downscan and...

Gents,

I have an 05 185VS. The passenger rod locker seal is starting to separate. The top (round part) has come unglued from the part that is connected to the raised lip on the boat (under the...

Poppab,

I have an 05 model with singe axle that I had to replace. The cracks were VERY clearly identified (read large) when you just look where the axle bolts to the trailer....right behind...

Gents,

Not looking for specific spots here.....just ideas. I would like to trout fish this fall/winter but only have a bassboat. What areas can I consider? I was thinking DeCade (via bayou...

Charlie....I did not think to check the relay. The switch on the side of the motor cowl works fine as does the bow trim switch. Are the cowl and handle switch on the same relay? I would think the...

Gents,

I have an 05 Yamaha 150max. It has the 6x3 control (Ranger boat). The trim switch on the control handle has gotten "sticky". It works, but sometime not the instant you touch it up or down....

Ryan....you should have an private message from me. I have a set of Cabela's Guidewear bibs I am willing to part with.

Gents,

I have a pair of black (Lg, regular) Cabelas guidewear bibs that I don't use anymore. They are about 3 years old but have not been used much at all. Anyone interested in buying them? ...

Gents,

I realize it's not a bream board. I'd like to take my son to Toledo. He can bream fish while I bass fish. Does anyone know about the bream fishing at Toeldo? Does it turn on later than...

Simms paclite. I got some this summer. It's light, works, and does not take much room to store. I have a Simms guide jacket and cabelas guidewear bibs. Both too heavy for down here accept in jan or...

Gents,

I know each year is different.......I am planning a week long Toledo Bend trip next spring. I don't know where I'll stay at this point. When is the best time for the good numbers of fish?...
