    Repowering

    Suzuki, Yamaha, Merc prob all good choices. Suzuki will be the cheapest. What is very important is the repower facility. A tale of 2 repowers, mine with Suzuki and my friend with Yamaha. On mine the engines were hung fine but after that very sloppy and poorly done. Left the yard not being...

    ENGINE FLUSHING

    My OX66 had similar problem. The problem was corrosion in the rectifier/regulator. It was the last chamber before the pee tube fitting on the cowling. It is bolted to the block and to keep cool has salt water running through it. Bad design in my view. Small bits of crud would occasionally...

    line/terminal tackle set up

    My windfall of rods/reels has kept me busy with re-rigging. Our fishing is pretty uniform. Light trolling targeting Mahi and Sailfish primarily, with Kingfish, Bonita, Cobia in the mix. Typical set up is tld 25 or equivalent with about 500 yds of yellow 30# mono. I keep it simple. Make a...

    Navy Seal Museum Fundraiser

    Memorial tournament to raise money for the Seal Museum last Sunday. Team GO FISH did ok. Had the biggest Mahi, but beat out by a 19 pound Cobia in the Calcutta. Good day for a good cause.

    New Suzukis

    I forgot. While working today got caught in a rain storm. Noticed water running under and behind the gauge panel. All these new starboard panels need some form of sealing. I am at a loss there. Black silicone, Butyl tape, ?? Need to be able to pull panels for work if needed...

    New Suzukis

    Done for now. If I never see a heat shrink connector again I will be happy. After a few fishing trips I will tackle the old ac/dc breaker panel on the cabin bulk head.

    circuit breaker

    Had to run out and buy a breaker to finish my panel. WM did not have smaller size needed. The other shop in town had another brand ETA which has terminals labeled 1 and 2 not line and load. Cannot find anything on their website as to which is which. Any ideas? Additionally does it matter if...

    New Suzukis

    I use a 100 tooth plywood blade and the amount of "starboard" dust is humongous. Sticks to everything, and unlike fine saw dust doesn't just disappear outside. Inside sticks to everything (static cling?) and hard to clean up. Does not sand as well either, imo. Cannot glue, only mechanical...

    Re-Power

    5k to fix before they hung the engines. Apparently older GW are known for this problem.

    Christmas comes early

    Ditched one spinning, to far gone, and gave away a bait caster. Gonna keep the boat rods. The Penn reel also looks like a goner.

    Re-Power

    Just put Suzuki df250's on my 92 280 Marlin. Was worried about weight but after only 5hrs seems ok. My transom was bad, make sure they look close at that.
