    Crankbait trolling speed vs depth

    I just ordered a little booklet from Rapala that may answer this, but I was wondering how to calculate how deep my crankbait lures will go at a given speed and line length. I just want to avoid running them into the bottom next year and really have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for...

    What do you guys think:

    Is this stolen, broken, or is the box empty? Near as I can tell this is about a $1900 unit for $400.....? :eek: If this is local I may have to check this out....;) http://nmi.craigslist.org/boa/1451459224.html

    Posession and 9/10 of the law... What do you think?

    About 18 months ago I bought a boat slip from the local Marina for my 28' SeaRay. Each slip comes with a lockable dock box, and there was a lock on mine when I bought it. So I called the old owner, and he came down, cut if off and left. I opened it to find a REALLY nice, newer Evinrude 8HP...

    Running 2 sonars

    I have seen some fishing boats that had both a main sonar on the dash and another on the bow for fishfinding near the trolling motor. Is there any interference when running these?? Currently I have one, and want to run 2, but I am curious as to how this is done without the transducers...

    Motor storage trim

    I did a search and read the post about the storage of a motor and I am confident that I have winterized properly. I also noted the part where it says to store the motor "straight up" which I think means "trimmed all the way down" so that the long axis of the motor is perpendicular to the...

    Anyone make their own spark plug wires?

    I want to replace the spark plug wires on my motor and ordered the kit, but it didn't come with terminals that can be bent to 90 degrees. The current wires have a coiled, wire terminal under the boot that has a piercing spike to poke thru the wire. Can this be reused? I have made a lot of...

    Squeaky water pump?

    I was winterizing my 1990 GT100 today and all went well. The water pump works fine both on the hose and on the lake. I had the spark plugs out and was turning the engine by hand (and yes the right direction) and I noticed that the water pump makes a squeaky noise, like the kind of noise you'd...

    Adding a tach

    Is it difficult to add a tach to a motor that didn't come with one? I know on the Merc's there's a harness in the controls, but this is a Johnson GT100 from 1990, and the boat didn't come with one. To my knowledge it's the original motor and I'd like to at least have the tach. Anyone do this...
