That's about where my thoughts are , just wondering if it applies to my application- 1995 Merc 200 EFI ,XRi ? Would I be better off leaving the system intact , or mod.?

TonyL

Thanks for the replies guys! Yeahh , I also don't see a reason ta disable right now , my alarm and oiling system are currently working ,but I do see the benefits to manually mixing.A failure is not gonna sneak up on ya !That is YOU KNOW your getting oil ta the parts as long as your burning fuel.I'm ...

Great question ! I asked it a while back .Cooch said to soak'em in olive oil ? I still haven't gotten back to them, but sounds promising , comin from Cooch.

TonyL

TonyL

Hey, I'm a very drama-free guy so before guys start talking down to me about what Dee has done for bass fishing and makin me upset, why don't you read a few posts up. I thought I made it clear that I know about Dee and it was just a joke, I aint trying to offend him or anyone else. I'm young but I ...

I bought my boat from The Wolfeman , knowing this was my first "bassboat" he took me out ta the Delta , gave me a short / sweet lesson on everything from trailering to manuevering the boat , lucky for me everything stuck , he's a good teacher I guess.One of the simple points was "goin...

Heatede seats in cars don't work unless the engine/charging system is running.

Man I don't know about fish but I sure love it!!! :D I will drink my about 2-3 cups of starbucks and start flinging my stacy 90 and 3:16 mission like there is not tomorrow!!! but man is it hard to slow down when you need to drag that jig. I can't buy any lures made of coffee, I will most likely eat...

TonyL

Our Mac guy just pulled up here in San Jose , says Don Fulmer ? , Mac distibutor from that area is n charge , there will be 7 distributors there is all the info he could get none on the actual tourney.He put a call in and we're waiting for a call back I'll post if anything.

TonyL

Itchin ta get some hours on new motor , I know not the best time ta go out , but is it do-able , and do you think I'd be able ta keep the kid happy with the prospect of catchin a fish ? Would be goin out Sun..Thanks for any input.

TonyL

Diddo that ! Great units ! I used one for a year , came with the boat
Wifey and kids got me a color 520 replacement/upgrade , so I switched mine out. If it wasn't for that I'd still be using it! Anyway it's for sale if your interested, pm me , I'll give someone a great deal !

TonyL

Last year-pretty cool seminar / class with multiple units on tables , and local pro givin the class.Checked the site ??? Only seen somethin about Garmin.Thanks in advance for any info!

TonyL

I'm thinkin get the room , wait till dark-run the cord :lol: . I'll just give the batteri...

TonyL

Great price though ! $58 night ,incl. tax ! may still do it any other ideas ???

TonyL

NICE ! had no idea , Thanks Brian !!

TonyL

Closest to lake prefered , but would rather travel some for boat/rig ta be safe at night.Thanks in advance !

TonyL

However, bear in mind that with a casting reel, I don't believe you'll be able to allow for the proper drop on a light weight such as a 1/8oz darthead. With a spinning reel, there is less tension at the point of line spooling off the reel. With the casting reel, there's a bit more tension on the li...

TonyL

Hey guys , I appreciate that , I too am a curado fan I didn't have success throwin anything that light on them but then I didn't have the 7' light rod either , anything light that I have right now is a spincast set-up. I'll wait ta hear from ya thanks!

TonyL

Hey guys , I'm in the market for a new light set-up , primarily for darter/shakey , light tubes , and I'd like ta use a baitcaster, know of any that can do the job, or should I stick with a spinning set-up? I was talkin with Dobyns at one of the shows last year , he spoke of a reel that was coming o...

Thanks for the info guys , keep it comin !

TonyL

Hey brambo , I have a 488 vs w/200 Merc.I believe the length from the back of the motor to the end of the tongue on trailer is close to 25'(I don't have a fold-away tongue , but the tongue is removeable by quick release), if ya need I can go out take exact measurements.

TonyL

HOWEVER... there is a real right now at Cabelas - the Cabelas Prodigy. This is basically identical to the original super-tuned Daiwa Advantage, except that it is on sale for $69! I also own a couple of those reals , They surprised the heck out of me 2 years ago , I got them on that same sale , and ...

Our club does 50/50 , everybody seems ta be happy.

TonyL

Yeahh , I've got one of those ! Been Great for the last 1.5yrs.I got it at Pep boys 12x25' , heavier construction , doesn't have sides , for $299. More than paid for itself !

TonyL

All good info above !In addition-Be patient.Don't do like I did in the beginning , I avoided thos adjustments like the plague - BIG- MISTAKE ! Seems like a hassle , but you need to check/verify those adjustments for every lure. Now , I always over-adjust , that is set it up tight -ta be sure of no b...
