    Prop Help

    Looking for some information about the prop on my new to me boat. It is a three bladed stainless steel prop on a Evinrude 175 Ficht motor. Boat is a 1999 Lund 1800 Pro V SE. The stamping on the prop is Raker 479E4. It's possible the last figure is an A not a 4 as it's not real clear. I've...

    Onix 10 SI

    Going to look at a boat tomorrow that has an Onix 10 SI on it. Anyone know anything about these Humminbird units? Are they any good?

    ATV Mechanic

    Fired up the old 2001 Bombardier (Can Am) Traxter yesterday and it doesn't want to run right. Dies out when you push the choke in so I'm assuming it will need carb work. Had SeaFoam and Stabil in it over the winter with non-ethanol gas but it still starts hard and won't idle. Anyone have a...

    Kicker motor speed control

    Planning on buying a Tohatsu 9.8 kicker motor this spring and looked on the internet for speed controls for it. All I found was ControlKing and TrollMaster units. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two brands? ControlKing is about $250 and TrollMaster is about $280. Is...

    Boat towing question

    I'm looking to upgrade to a newer small SUV/Wagon and have found a 2018 Subaru Outback that seems to fit the bill. I hadn't intended to use it to tow my boat but after doing some research I see it has a tow rating of 2700# with a tongue weight of 200#. Engine HP is rated at 175 which I'm...

    Boat mechanic

    I've got a 1976 Mercury 9.8 hp kicker that probably needs a lower crankcase seal. An recommendations of mechanics in the BisMan area? I'm afraid it will cost more to fix than the motor is worth.

    Kicker motor remote throttle control

    I just bought a nice little older 9.8 hp Mercury model 110 tiller kicker motor and was wondering if there is any kind of remote control throttle control that could be added to it? I believe it's a 1978 model. I know they make kits to tie the kicker to the main motor for steering but I haven't...

    Landing net

    I think I'm going to break down and buy a better landing net and could use some recommendations. My old net is in good shape and I really like the rubber net compared to the string net I replaced with it but the handle is just too short for when I fish by myself especially with bottom bouncers...

    Montana trip

    Does anyone know if Montana is a no trespass state? I'm interested in old North Dakota and Montana history and plan to hit the road this spring to look for and photograph old military forts and ruins and I'm sure many of the old ruins are on private land now and I don't want to trespass. I've...

    Silverado 6.0 Engine for towing

    I have a 2005 Silverado 2500HD SB with the 6.0 but it is a gutless wonder. I bought a 26' 5th wheel camper that weighs about 8250# loaded and plan to tow my 16' Lund Tyee (about 1700#) behind it with the Chevy but there is no way that rig will be able to handle that job. I've talked to people...

    Boat took a crap

    My old boat gave up the ghost out on Sak the other day. Moritz says it's a scored piston and they don't work on old Evinrudes any more. Does anyone know someone who will work on old motors? It's a 1987 90 hp. My boat is a 1991 Lund Tyee II 1650 so if I have to look for another motor what...

    Canada geese

    Has anyone else noticed that there are fewer batches of Canada geese goslings this year? I go past a couple of small ponds/dams every day and in past years there were usually 2 or 3 families paddling around by the end of April or in May. See a few adults on the water now but not one batch of...

    Moving Fish

    Friend told me Game and Fish was netting fish out of Wentz Lake by Napoleon today because they think it will winter kill. Wonder where they plan to take them and if they do that with other lakes too. Wentz always was just a big slough like Alkaline and I wondered why they bothered to stock it...

    Look what I found this afternoon!

    Walked up to the edge of a creek bank late this afternoon and spotted this guy napping in the weeds about 10 feet from the water. He just laid there nice and quiet about 60 or 70 yards away from me for about 10 minutes while I got my camera out and snapped away. Finally got up and hopped up to...

    Parking in Minot

    Leaving next week for a trip out west for about ten days and I plan to take the train out of Minot for the experience. The problem is parking for my vehicle while i'm gone. It sounds like they are doing construction on the long term parking lot at the train depot so I don't know if there will...

    Help rigging my rod/reel combos

    I could use some advice on how to use the various combos I've accumulated. I've been to several fishing seminars at sports shows but they generally talk about different equipment than I have so I end up confused. Which of my rigs should I use for jigging, crankbaits, bottom bouncers, jigging...

    K-Drill

    Does anyone know anything about these augers? A friend asked me to post this as he said their you tube videos look good but he can't find anyone who has one. Guess they run off a cordless drill.
