    Lots of places should have this sign posted

    Marina for a local lake has this sign posted. I'll bet dollars to donuts the only people who are offended by it are the ones the sign is referring to:D

    Anyone fish for drum or buffalo?

    I'm a big river fisherman and have had decent luck catching drum and buffalo by accident while fishing for bass. Found out they'll knock the peedoodle out of a green senko here. While I love bass fishing feeling a big buffalo load up and make a heavy heavy with 50lb braid cry for mercy sure gets...

    What's your choice for cranking batteries?

    Previous owner put three of the entry level Neverstarts in my boat two years ago and the cranking battery is getting weak. Even with a full charge it is making me not want to trust it especially with winter coming on. Come to think of it I think the cranking amps is only 425cca. What's your...

    Replacing thermostats and impeller

    I'm probably going to replace my thermostats and impeller within the next month. Is there a particular brand that's better than others or are they all the same? My motor is a '96 pro v 200. Thanks. On the impeller I spend a lot of time on the river where there's no telling what kind of crap I'm...

    What makes the OMC outdrives so undesirable?

    I've seen tons of people talk about how much they hate these drives. Just curious really. I know OMC made some questionable business moves which lead to them going bust so no surprize there.

    So you're out on the water and it hits you

    You have turdleheads knocking and they aren't taking no for an answer. What's your plan of action? We put the boat on the bank and hug a tree. Me and my boat owning buddies all keep a roll of tp in the boat. At night we go over the side. Mods if this thread is too over the top I have no problem...

    Excessive carbon building up on plugs

    I have a '96 Yamaha Pro V 200 that is throwing way too much carbon on the plugs. I'm running standard NGK plugs and Quicksilver Premium Plus oil in the oil tank. I ran Yamalube ring free in it earlier this year. Right now the only thing that seems to keep carbon from building up is keeping a...

    The confession thread

    I know we all do something stupid when it comes to our boats from time to time. And sometimes it just feels good to get it out in the open to bs about it and find others that have had it happen to them. Here's my confession of the day. Came in from a very short fishing trip and trying out the...

    Jack plate adjusting

    Right now when I plow into the trottle to get it up on that last step it lifts and takes off like a rocket like it should but the nose drops like a brick. Still rock solid stable with a nice ride. With this said do I need to come down just a little more on the jack plate? Boat is a '96 Charger...

    '96 Yamaha Pro V 200

    Are there any known issues I need to watch out for on this engine? Also I seem to be one of only a select few Pro V engines in my area. What made this engine undesirable enough to make someone choose a Mercury or OMC over it? Thanks.
