Well went for a test run today. Going to turn the mats the right way up. As you guys mentioned it will look more real. I find with the snow fence I am using it is very stiff with our cold temps hard to unroll. It is rolled up for storage and transport and is difficult to get to hang down as it wants to stay curved form being rolled. Going to have to get something for the top as I am too visible from the sky. Mabe some netting or replace the...

There is about 1/4 inch of deflection when pushing down. Not an issue on the water, but could be an issue...

It's a classic, but it ain't really that kind of classic. Haha. I'm just hoping to get 3-4 years of fishin/hunting out of it til I can get a real bass boat. Thank fo the help guys, still looking for a little bit more direction on wether to go with the regular old krylon spray paint or another option. I've had alot of experince spray painting other things camo, just nothing this big! __________________ My dog snores. 12

There is a drain plug on the bowl of each carb. Change your element in your fuel/water separator. Prime the fuel lines with fresh, water free fuel. Open the drains on all carbs, begin pumping fresh clean fuel into the carbs. When you get fresh gas from each drain, the water is gone from the carbs. Re-tighten the drain screws. That should clear the carbs of water. It may take a few minutes of running the engine to completely clear all of the...

Second vote for the battery. When mine is low, my starter won't spin fast enough to throw the gear up to engage the flywheel. If your battery is fine, remove the gear on top of the starter and look at the splines inside of it. They can be dirty or worn so that they have a spot that makes it difficult to slide across. I used to have that problem until I cleaned it and sprayed it with lube (temporary) and then eventually replaced the gear....

Maybe you could just attach some natural cut grass etc to the top of your blind to break up the manufactured line cut. Just a thought. Good Luck. __________________ Wipe your mouth, there's still a tiny bit of Bullsh!t around your lips.

The issue we had was the grass was pointing inside the boat and when you were walking around the boat, moving gear, trailering it, etc. it...

Most folks around here use a 9.9hp. So the 18 should be plenty. Most kickers are for trolling. So being able to control your speed is the key factor. I am speaking of fishing though! __________________ Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse.
