    Boat question.

    So I bought a 1988 Lund Baron with an Inboard 4.3. V-6 Very nice well kept boat and the seller has a mechanic shop and I was assured the boat has low hours and no issues. First trip out I idled around for a while and watched the gauges all normal, Throttle up on plane and went about 1/2...

    Barn Wood Projects

    Glad you are making use out of it. A friendly FWIW though is some serious discussions about a safety plan should be included in your project . Hard to tell the structure condition by the pictures but that low corner could decide to sag, shift or fall at any time.

    Barn Wood Projects

    If you have a Hutterite or Mennonite colony near you they might clean it up and make use of it. I saw a colony tearing down a huge barn and I was amazed how efficiently they worked . The men on the roof , Older boys carrying the boards and woman and little kids pulling the nails and they had...

    How many bite?

    I was out on a flat pitching in 4 feet of sandy bottom early spring when the water was dead calm and visibility was great with my $ 20 polarized sunglasses. At times I could see 6 to 10 or more walleyes at once for about two hours there were walleyes within sight , I never caught a one of...

    Do any of you guys ever troll with cranks and bottom bouncers at the same time ? - - - Updated - - - And are planer boards worth the hassle ?

    Sonar interference

    Are your wires close together short ? I read where you can get wire interference. I have a easy access wire loom so I'd like to string them right along side the lowrance wires for a few feet. About half ways, I have a portable case so I can move it around the boat. It's easier to ask...

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    They each have their personality don't they. One thing I won't do is sit and run the starter till it's hot. I see guys doing that at the dock a lot, It shouldn't be.

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    I owe you one Eye, I probably would have never figured that one out. I let it run for about 10 minutes last night and this morning it started as soon as I touch the key and idled smooth right away. I set the idle speed down just a tad after it was warmed up good, do they load up at all when...

    spun hub?

    This is good to know , I'm surprised manufactures don't put line up marks on them at the factory. - - - Updated - - - On second thought I suppose if you nicked a stump that didn't cause damage it would throw the marks off.

    Boat insurance

    I spend as much locally as I can but I'm not willing to settle for what I feel is poor insurance coverage on my property, I'd rather just cover with liability and take my chances. I got two quotes locally and One from Bob Luellen , I am amazed at the spread between the three quotes. FWIW my...

    spun hub?

    Tachs lie and need to be kept honest with calibration. If you remember what RPM it used to idle with the muffs you could try that and see if it's changed . My old boat seemed like it idled rough and it would sometimes die when I put it in gear if I wasn't quick to give it throttle so I...

    Devils Lake Chamber Walleye Tournament

    Haha Yep. When I was in my 20s fishing out of an old deep and wide brunswick all I could dream about was to retire young and fish tournaments . I didn't calculate in all aspects of the age factor. Now I know why old farts back then used to tell me It's relaxing just to get out on the water...

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    Worked like a charm Eye, I have it in a barrel of water and pumped it in gear and it worked so good that I almost had it flooded. I'll have to check the choke/fuel enricher solenoid because I don't hear a click and it doesn't seem to matter if I push the key in or not. I'm just guessing...

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    Thanks Eye, I knew there must have been a trick . I was pumping it with the Neutral button pushed in.

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    Are all the mariner 9.9 cold blooded or just mine ? My new to me boat has one and it takes way too much cranking when it's cold . The guy I bought it from said they have an accelerator pump so I pump the bulb and I pump the throttle and it still takes a while. Once it warms up it starts...
