"Normal wear and tear after years of use" Actually the reel has barely any use. Almost no scratches and gears are smooth. I must have about ten of these models and this is the only one like this. Normal wear and tear can be said about bearings, handles, gears, and scratches to the cover. B...

twister

Is this normal? What can cause the cracks?

twister

Sir,

I have over ten of these B series curados and just now, after years of use, am experiencing a problem. The plastic ring that holds the brake pins have cracked. The pins ultimately pushed into the brass drum and has grooved it. What should I do next? This reel has very little use overall.

Hollywood, with all the respect bro, but this is the most ridiculous position for anyone to have on this. I drive to work everyday to make a living, but i dont see a dang single driver who is "fun" driving, going on vacation, or someone with a job less than me going and getting off the ro...

Yeah, those look pretty good, but if you want real custom and top quality work, you need to contact Darryl at IguanaGrafix.com. Here is some of the work he recently did for me... http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/492vslayer/IMG_1666.jpg http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/492vslayer/IMG...

Great! I have about 5 or 6 of the Lamis. I replaced the flipping stick last time for only $15 through Fisherman's W and it was a no hassle exchange. I think its very hard to argue breakage due to workmanship if the rods are considerably older. But companies with good customer service exchange rods w...

Maitenace free battery suck because the water drys out and you cant fill them. Autozone makes a large marine cranking battery that can power your livewell, radio, fishfinders, ect.

Just want to put the word out that last night some guys cut a hole in our roof and stole reels, fishfinders and money! These guys knew where to go and get the goods in the dark. We will be looking at all web sites and auctions for these guys. We do have cameras in the store and we are turning the f...

Anyone fish the New Development Recently? Wasn't too much action in there last month. Thinking about giving it another try.

They're actually catching good number and quality in the Port. Those who belong the Washington outboard Club can launch at lake Washington launch ramp. Kayakers and tubers launch their small craft at the Park off of Jefferson. For those who like to burn gas up the system its over 22 miles one way. T...

The trim system is a sealed unit. Air can only enter the system if the seals are compromised or the unit has been serviced. You can buy a used unit for much less than your local dealer quoted you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Outboard-Tilt-and-Trim_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3ca864f0c6QQit...

At least this one is not a trihull. But you should review all the things I mentioned above. Run it on the water if you can. This boat is not worth it if any of the cylinders are dead.

That's probably all its worth if the motor is shot. Trihull. You may want to check of dry wrought in the typical places. Looks like its needs new tires, trolling motor, and Registration.

You sound like the guy that I regularly fish with. He use Gloomis rods. He breaks about 6 rods a year while I'll break a rod every 2 years or so. I've also seen him drop a couple rod/reel combos overboard -- one of which was a brand new combo that he had bought the week before for a $1,000. I seen ...

I never was in that much of a hurry to hit the water. One guy said it right "you should just go home" if you let some small issue cause you grief. Enough grief generated to create this posting. I say less snivelling and more fish talk! Because I typically launch myself, I do not leave my t...

I know its water under the bridge now but I and everyone in my club keeps their license in their wallet. Its funny because two of the members are DFG. I just got so sick of losing my license when I wore it around my neck. I think me and some of you guys need to have a tatoo of it. Fishaholics!

What braid knot do I trust to not lose my $50 swimbait. Palmomar is the best. It was proven on "Knot Wars"

5.3:1 is the slowest I go when working DD22 or Manns 30+.

Car stereo amplifier wire is usually very good quality too.

I second that!!!!!

Its grinding under load.

twister

first thing i would try is back flushing the system. you might just have a piece of crawdad or weeds blocking the flappers open. Backflush might work but the most common cause is the broken valve. Does anyone manufacture a reliable valve? Ball valve? I know the old stopper is reliable on older boat...

What is setup like? HP? Boat? You might be able to remove all the PVS plugs. Try the setup tricks before you sell it.

twister

I don't live in your neck of the woods. I would suggest you place your profile in the "find a partner" area on this website. You should also consider joining your local club. Most clubs do not require boat ownership.

I have a number of these reels and some of the have a slight grind to them no matter how many times I rebuild them. What is the trick to make them silky smooth? Higher viscosity grease to dampen the sound? Or do I need new gears? I've noticed some reels would do this right out of the box.

Whiskey all the way down to Mildred has always been popular for bank fisherman. Other areas like this include roads near 8 mile road. These guys cast their hooks in the middle of the channel without a clue why they're casting it there. I usually steer opposite of the bank fisherman side if I enter t...

I bought my UFP master cylinder at

Marv's Trailer Spring Wheel

Yup from this pic of a 94 it looks like a UFP. There is no other company that has a square shaped ball receiver.

New ones are about $50 ea. You can sometimes find them on E-bay

.... MT, I'm not sure what year and model MG you have but one thing to check .. and you can do this yourself ... is pull the top cap off the head .. there should be three philips head screws .. I'm referring to the cap where the directional indicator is ... on some models there are wire connectors ...

twister

Which model do you have?

If you have a power going to the unit, bypass the switch with a jumper.
It's very common to have a bad switch. The digital motors are more complicated and should be serviced by a certified dealer. Parts for older units cannot be found.

How many hours did you get on your impeller? What type of motor. Notice that Mercury impellers are a lot smaller than Evinrude.

Mercury, Sierra, and Mechanics are loving you guys if you change your impeller every year.

Purchase the largest starting battery you can fit in your boat. Sure most guys consider cranking amps, but they neglect to pay attention to reserve capacity. You may have your livewell pump on all day in the summer time to. The best thing about Optima and other AGM batteries is no maintenance.

twister

Great advice Dan. Wiskey Sl is also a good bank to fish. Another good way to fuel your fishing addiction is to join a bass club.

Follow the mfg recommended schedule and you can't go wrong. With my experience, there are very little factory trained outboard mechanics in the Nor Cal area. At least they're no Evinrude mechanics. Do not trust a mechanic because they call themselves one. If you do go to a mechanic make sure they ha...

Like someone said above--"Punching is not new". However Bub did market the skirt, hook and the cone shaped bobber stop. I went out on a trip with Cooch two years ago where he showed me how to fish mats with the Wadda Jig. Punching has been popular every since the one ounce tungsten weight ...

What ever you use leave the worms in its original bag and never mix plastics. I just throw my worms in a Rubbermaid box. I then place the hot bait for the day in my pocket as the day goes on.
