Re: ReelEx 5 day Special FULL.....

I got in just under the deadline. They came back yesterday. The Curados spin better than new. The spinning reel is working well despite you saying it needs a new handle that are no longer available. Great service. Thank you. :P 8)

Re: Berkley Nanofil - Real or Hype??

Whether it's Nanofil or some other braid product, once you try it with a floro leader, I think you'll wonder why you waited. Virtually no twist when drop shotting and sensitivity increases 5 fold. You just have to learn to tie a braid to floro knot.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I ordered a cowling trim switch & it arrived last week. Disconnected the old one and plugged in the new one before installing to make sure that was the problem - worked great.. Removed the old one, popped in the new one. All's well. Thanks.

Thanks Big -
The tilt works fine up/down from the throttle handle and from the front deck panel. Motor cowling switch goes down but won't go up. You think that's a relay & not the switch?
