I had a 2014 Mercury PRO XS 250 on my 2014 Ranger 521c I bought 6 months ago. I had to sell the boat due to moving to Hawaii. I didn't realize that the warranty had expired on April 17th of this year. I will take fault for not researching sooner but I had no intention of selling the boat ever and my...

Re: Carp and Bass
Carp were introduced into US from Europe as a game fish. You can still catch bass in the same areas where carp are spawning, it just might be a little slower than usual in terms of action. In that case, I grab a spoon and toss out and catch carp for fun. They fight like crazy.
