I was out this morning Wednesday. 6 am to 9am Nothing happening in on the beach early. I went out to 60-70 feet and found crazy stripers under birds. i was all by myself out there in a 20kt south wind for an hour and a half NW corner of Axel Carlson. Then the fleet came out there and I went...

I hate that phrase... :mad: A marketing ploy... It implies that it provides a protective purpose..that the motor might rest on it, which it will never do... Its a crappy piece of trim to hide a seam in the transom... a transom cap.... it's always in the way of mounting the motor flush to...

That tells you the relay is not the problem. You should definitely fix that because "stuck on" is a bad situation. There are lots of choices for switches out there. West Marine, Amazon... The Lewmar SS ones are the prettiest and most expensive. West Marine foot switch

You don't need to use Lewmar brand $witche$. But it simplifies decisions...you can't go wrong with the pictured switch(es) if it is running a relay. It is a 5 amp switch. IDK what is there now. You need to look at whether the switch is controlling the full current of the motor or whether it...

Tomorrow is going to be really cold and windy but the rest of the week is stellar. West winds. Acres of bunker, big stripers and occasional bluefin. Party boats have been doing well on slow days and epic on good days. All along Monmouth and Ocean county beaches If we don't get it done this week...

Pull the whole deck hatch. Its just screws and silicone. get a look at the tank and fittings. If you find nothing you will at least be able to clean the tank and know what you have. You really won't accomplish anything looking thru the pie holes.

HAHAHA so I was at Shrewsbury Rocks Sunday.No party boats except one anchored and blackfishing. I got nothing. Lots of bait at 3 mile line. no fish. There was a bunch of party boats about 3 miles east (Farms?) of me. I figured they were bottom fishing. Past 3 miles so can't keep stripers...

Went on another boat out to Shark River Reef. Caught a mess of very nice sized sea bass and porgies. Gonna blow for 5 days. Hopefully the stripers turn on and move down to Manasquan next week. Really want to get done and wrap up while its reasonably warm.

ok I looked at the install pdf so its just adding an external horn/light to the built in alarm horn and on-screen alarms. I can hear the built in alarm well enogh anywhere on my 265. I guess I understand if you are sleeping you might need one in the cabin. I had never looked at that...

Pardon my asking, Whats the relay for?

The party boats out of Keyport found them good this morning. i guess they were inside the Hook.

So the Wednesday report was a bust. I went Thursday morning and it was dead also.

West wind 2 ft or less.... Only about a thousand boats ...give or take a hundred.... NormaK party boat posted non stop surface action on oversized bass yesterday. Today was really good but not as crazy. I see the Highlands in the background of some pictures. Looks like they are at Shrewsbury...

I hear the yellowfin are gone from the bacardi/ 40 Fathom line after the storm. Today there was a full blown striper blitz at shrewsbury rocks. I just need the right weather on the right day... probably get out there Thursday or Friday morning

stern in. way more control. easier loading and washing and flushing
