    Spinning reels

    I use a Penn Conflict 20 and an Abu Garcia Revos2 also in 20 size . While they are smaller reels they are solidly made and have a good drag and a reasonable bearing count . They will easily handle 6lb Rainbow Trout. I have found that a lighter weight set up is easier on the wrist . One...

    Towing friends boat damage

    I would imagine "full responsibility " would fall on the operator. I guess too that there might be some question as to why the hitch came off in the 1st place . Can you get the repair done and hand him the bill leaving it up to him how he recovers the loss. Once he has accepted liability (...

    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    They are not hard to strip . A good service manual is the 1st tool you should buy . I have never owned a ring spreader and I havnt broken a ring for 45 years , and you can bodgey a ring compressor out of a coke can ,a torque wrench and Bobs your auntie .

    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    You can get an endoscope camera that fits your cell ph for naff all of the chinese . I have seen a few of these camshaft decompressors and Im yet to see one that gives any hint of longevity . They are a flimsy looking bit of pressed steel or plastic .

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    I think the suggested options take into account the ambient temp where its used . Ya wouldnt want to thick oil in real cold temps . I have always used ATF for this sort of thing ........mostly because I usually had some
