Both reels are between 15/20 yrs old. Used in freshwater only. Condition of both is excellent. Is there any difference in value/popularity or does it get down to the gear ratio a prospective buyer...

Thanks, HalBrown & shackwylde. Still couldn't get it disengage by pulling the spool but pushing the spool shaft from the handle side got it. Once I got it apart I was impressed by how clean it was...

Is there some trick to removing the spool on this model. I bought it in 2012 but it hasn't been used a lot and I've had no problems with it. My other Curados the spool drops out when the sideplate's...

Fishing wasn't too good as the only day I could get out was the day after a front. There was a ten degree drop in temperature and windy. I got two good strikes and missed them both. I've never used...

Thanks to all for the info. Tied a 6ft 10lb P-Line leader with an "Alberto Knot" on 15 lb. Power Pro braid and made sure it would hold. I didn't want to have to tie it in the boat on a windy day. ...

Thought I'd try some jig fishing. From what I've read a faster retrieve gear ratio is usually recommended with jigs but a 5.1 spinning reel is the only extra reel I've got for now. I'll be using it...

I've been using an older Bass Pro Shops 5"6", "Tourney" med/lt baitcaster rod with a Shimano 50E reel, 6.4 gear ratio and 10lb Trilene XL line for around four or five years. Accuracy and distance...

$30.00 last time I looked a few months ago. I've been using one of the 2500 models for at least four years for both freshwater and light saltwater surf fishing. I've never caught anything more than...

Thank you. Took the boat out for about a half day. No problems, ran and shifted as usual. Checked both vent openings and they were level.

Thank you. I had to move my boat yesterday so I unplugged both plug holes, neither is marked as Level. Vent is marked between them. I filled the gearcase until it overflowed the front plug hole,...

Serial #IC 212060 three cylinder.

2013 Chinese mfg 40hp 4 stroke. Owners manual shows one lower unit vent plug. This motor has what appears to be two. What's the procedure; open both, or if only one which one?

Thanks to all for the info. Oil change & lower unit change it is.

2013 40hp 4 stroke Mercury 3cyl. It usually gets about 60/70 hrs running time a year, probably 40 of it trolling. I use Mercury 4 stroke synthetic oil and change oil & filter every year about this...

I fish a lot of topwater and have a pretty good assortment of popper type lures. About ten years ago I got a Rico as a gift or I probably still wouldn't have one as I was too cheap/smart to spend $20...

Thanks.

Motor is a 2013, 40hp, 4 stroke, serial# 1C 212060. I think it's fuel injected but I'm not sure. It's been in storage for two years. What Mercury oil filter does it take?

Thanks. Will the MKP 6 fit using the original MKP 2 drive pin, nut & washer?

Thanks for the info.

Is there an aftermarket prop that will make a noticeable improvement in overall performance or is the prop that comes with it about as good as it gets? Thanks.

What effect does tightening or loosening the adjustment screw have? Required pedal pressure, ease of changing direction. etc? The directions don't say. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Good info, good website.

Here's hoping I can explain this so it makes sense. The most angle the foot control pedal will give me for a left turn (heel down) before bottoming out is a 90 degree turn and this angle decreases...

Had this boat a couple of months and used it a lot. I like everything about it but the seats. They went cheap on these and the ones on the 16.5 & 16 bass models. Anyone here know what's involved...
