    Evinrude E Tec 135

    Was looking at a used boat today with an Evinrude E Tec 135. We cranked it up with the ear muffs and it run perfect except I noticed the motor was not peeing out the pee-hole. Was told that it won't unless the foot is submerged. Does that sound right??

    Prop Pitch

    I have a 2017 Tracker with a 75hp 4stroke Merc. I am running full throttle 4800 rpm @ 38mph (gps) The specs say I should be 5200 full throttle. I am going to a SS prop to minimize scrapes and dings. My question..should I change my 17 pitch prop to a different pitch to gain a couple hundred rpms?

    Trolling Motor Reverse

    Has anyone tried installing a reverse polarity switch on their trolling motor ? There are many situations I need to reverse the motor where I can't turn it 180* with the foot pedal.

    Short Ramp Hang-up

    Due to low water conditions, several of our ramps are short and pose a problem of backing the trailer in too far and dropping off the end. The trailer spring hangers catch the edge and won't allow pulling the trailer out! This has happened to me twice. I was thinking about removing the front...

    Seat Pedestal

    Does anyone know where I can find a fold down pedestal for my front deck seat on my bass boat? I found one on-line called "Quick Drop" but evidently they are no longer in business. :confused:

    Frame Skids

    Due to a drought here, our lake water level is very low. Last week I backed trailer too far and it dropped off the ramp end. I had a hard time getting it out. My question is ... is there a "skid" kit out there that can be attached to the frame of my trailer forward of the spring shackles...

    Shallow Water

    I am having an issue with getting my jon boat to the lake from the ramp due to low water drought conditions. There is about 75 feet of aprox. ten inches of water I have to go thru to get to the lake. Other than the expense of dredging are there any other ideas?

    Tongue Extend

    The crank post on my trailer is so far forward I cannot lower my pick-up tailgate when the trailer is attached normally. I have been using an 8" hitch extender which works okay but it is a pain having to deal with every time I attach the boat. What I am thinking is to remove the ball mount and...
