I had planned to make the tournament on the 13th but guess I'll miss it due to the trolling motor bushes went bad this past weekend at Buggs and will be next Tuesday before I get the parts to fix it. Can't fish without a boat. Really was looking to meet some of what a few call "The Yadkin Chain Gang".
Dan, is it an old OMC trolling motor?
NO BUZZ I GOT A 70# MINNKOTA MAXXUM just over two years ago and everything with the TM was fine but this weekend I had some outboard motor concerns about 2 miles from the ramp and run the TM to long at 100% and distroyed the brushes. I talked to John Jones with Jones TM in Texarkcana, TX. this morning and he is sending me the parts but they will not get here till late Friday or Monday. Besides the Johnson outboard is still messed up so unless I make it as a co-angler with some one It just isn't going to happen for me this time. But that is OK.
I had a 175 Fast Strike on my old Hydra-Sports. What's it doing?
As for the TM, I've rebuilt mine twice with Mr. Jones help. It's a piece of cake.
There's probably someone with an empty back seat.
Ys i did some work on this TM a little while back and fixed a concern I had and I just burnt the brushes up getting the boat to the shore to beat out an upcoming storm at Buggs this weekend. As far as the 175 I have the rig at Nathan Skinner's Shop right know to have it checked out. All I know is it appears to be an electrical concern. Guess I better conserve all $ I can for up coming exspences.
Did you call Fishemans Friend to see if he had the parts
Oh Allison I got in touch with John Jones in Ark. concerning the concerns I was having and he is sending me the parts by friday but I am expecting them Monday. His cost to me is $25. I got in touch with Fisherman's Friend in Kannapolis. Same parts and would have to take the TM off the boat and take it to Kannapolis for just at $35. The real difference is the gas I use to go to and from Kannapolis. I've taken the TM down several times to do numerous things to it so I can do the necessary parts replacement. Just waiting for the replacement parts.
