Re: Value of 1992 Merc 150

Nadaguides.com says right around $1000. However they dont let you take into account the hours on the motor. Also price will vary if you will include the controls, prop and gauges. Best bet may be to call some boat dealers and ask them what they think.

If the bite is hot fish frogs and/or spinner baits. You can throw either of them from the bank and not get snagged. Otherwise try drop shotting so if u get snagged u just lose the weight.

Can u adjust trolling motor shaft length/depth under water?

I need to replace my trolling motor and would like a Fortrex80. I see more deals on the 52" shaft vs the 45" shaft which is the length I have on now. If I got a 52" is it capable of being adjsusted/raised so that it would be close to the depth under water my 45" is now?

Re: Tungsten punch Weights

Wolfeman..... Too some extent the weight is to create a hole for the bait to go through, but also the heaviness of the weight pulls the bait thru even the smallest of holes. Also if you add a scented spray/gel to the bait it often keeps it "lubed" and helps it slide thru the cover.
