Northwest Fishing Reports

If you plan on keeping your boat for the next 5-10 years upgrade your trolling motor it will save you lots of headaches and probably save you money in the long run ( no canceled trips, replacing cables you know are an inherent weak link multiple times,better performance and def better batt life ) ju...

NOT CONFUSED.....ease of maintenance is not allways better or safer....semis are certainly not safer thats like an oxymoron but i can see why you agree.

anyway ck your chit,be safe on the water and fish your arse off. Moto

i think your confusing me with some one else. i have no links, and hey if your into torture i dont know if id be posting it on the internet....hehe

But they did cheap out your trailer with cheap Chinese made caps of plastic, if i remember correctly semi trailers have a metal cover with alot more bolts. know one plays with there trailer in a parking lot not that i know any way. but oil baths may have to come along before i get them. as long as i...

Well in my opinion as i work on this stuff day in and day out ill take grease any day over oil bath, we pull our rigs thousands of miles every year i always carry grease for my trim rams,propshaft,bearings. ive seen very so often oil bath caps crack,damaged and leaking if this happens while driving ...

CAJUN i dont think your on the right path 1 because its a 10 foot livingston(heavy fiberglass)2 if you look at the coast guard rating i think your boat is rated for alot more and in the boat industry we never rig anything with less than 25 percent of the rated horse power. classic case of being unde...

i knew it changed in the mid years wasnt sure if it was in mid 80s,or 70s but you should be fine. just carry extra plugs.

ya thats not true.....up until the mid 70s horsepower for boats was rated at the power head now there rated at the prop.....and now ya know the truth....happy easter

most would run 4-6 gauge you wouldnt go smaller than what come out of the motor......that just spells trouble.

50 inch min-60 inch max, if your in rough water alot go 60inch shaft most bass boats go a max of 50inch shafts, 60 is super long though.

Last year at this time i hiked up to the alpine lakes above north bend.....all frozen but went back a few months later and caught the most beautiful dolly varden, be well prepared (snow shoes and a way to stake your tent in the show if your over nighting it.

I personally would stay away from tracker, every one i have known who has had one had the keel crack wide open. no experience with targa. my recommendation would any boat you look at would to have a shop ck it out for you.

Give Russ a call at LIMIT OUT PERFORMANCE MARINE 253-863-9973....there a bass pro shops dealer and can get you any thing in there catalogs.

As far as corrosion resistance aluminum in not the choice compared to the stainless version and for a few bucks more i would go that route. But then again i would have it mounted inside out of the elements and done to boat building specs (proper fuel line,secured,distance from battery) i don't know ...

Were talking normal working lower unit, not one with a bad seal- which they found and fixed(condensation is not normal in a lower unit and would require a repair) not just change gear lube as you suggested)

We talking boats or cars (cars have a closed cooling system with anti freeze-if your car has antifreeze in the oil the motors already half done) boat 4 stroke outboard motors have a hard time getting to full temp in some areas and the end result is condensation or water in the oil( fix change your o...

4 stroke out boards have been making oil since they came out(for those that do not know what that is- when the motor oil keeps getting increasing its qauntity either from fuel or water with no ill effects. 4 stroke outboards have no roller bearings.

Four stoke outboard have an oil sump just like a car with a pump and no reservoir. 20 plus years at chev and never not one have i seen a motor seize from water-lack of oil yes. back to school for you.lol

When i worked for Chevrolet as a tech i seen hundreds of cars and trucks come in with anti freeze in the oil this is the number 1 killer of babbit bearing due to the acidic affect on the babbit, plain water in oil is just a crappy lubricant and will result in crank end play and bearing clearances in...
