Not sure if the boat or I hate winter more.
Cranking battery very slow to roll the merc this cold morning.

Mine will do the same thing. Only the first start of the morning. I have seen some post on the Mercury board but no real answer. Some do it some don't.
I am ready for spring!!!

I fished a lot in winter jetboy. Every one I've ever had did it. Takes a lot to get that Merc rollin when it's cold that's why there's a 31 hooked up to it Y'all catching em?

Last time I had to heat the motor up with a propane heater. Guess a little water got in the upper area. wouldn't turn over and the shift lever was frozen.
That's pretty bad in Louisiana! I got her going though.
Its not left outside in the open either. Lol!

Damn cajun!
Think I may need to clean up the connections on the battery. Is there any reason you can make a power buss bar to hook all the leads to? Positive and negative? As to just have one wire on the battery?
We have caught a few. Amy missed,(broke off) a 5# on the dock. It’s been cold and yesterday we got caught by the rain as the front came through. Still catching more on spy baits than anything. I’m not a very good winter fisherman.

I couldn’t even get mine to start today. Between the low compression and it being 3° this morning, my motor had other ideas than me. I just ended up using the trolling motor and managed to catch 2 pretty good ones.
I lived in O’fallen for a bit. And it is so cold. I only felt better if I looked at the weather in Chicago!
and I’m not fishing at 3*. You need another indoor hobby!

Normally I wouldn’t go when it’s this cold but it’s been over a month since I’ve been out so I had to go!
