    Hey,

    Are they a relative of the double-breasted mattress thrasher?

    Any outboard or prop gurus?

    The above data is for a 250HP, not a 225.

    Any outboard or prop gurus?

    You're pushing a dull edge instead of a sharp edge through the water. Fill your sink at home. Push a spoon through the water, then a knife. You're dinged up leading edges are slowing down the whole works because the motor has to work harder to push them through the water. Then the flow and...

    Any outboard or prop gurus?

    Props aren't just about the "edges". The leading edge takes a scoop, the blade face "pushes" and speeds up the water that rides the face and heads for the trailing edge, and assuming cupped, the trailing edge holds the "speeded up" water for all it's worth creating the lift. GROSSLY...

    What brand is a good electric anchor

    A 22' anchor would hold the titanic and require roughly the diesel/electric motor out of a train engine to lift. I hope they have a mighty big boat. I don't think I could lift 1 link on the chain for that thing.

    Any outboard or prop gurus?

    Maybe this is a better analogy. Your dinged prop is like a wrinkled up car trying to keep up with the draft @ Daytona. Wrinkles whether it's your prop or the stock car, prevent the water/air from flowing smoothly over it. Think about how much harder those wrinkles are to push through the...

    Any outboard or prop gurus?

    Dings induce cavitation, reducing lift and efficiency. Very crudely, dinging your prop is akin to cutting off your lever or moving the fulcrum closer to you thereby shortening it's mechanical advantage. It'd not be unprecedented for a boat to lose 2-5MPH from virgin prop to just a little...

    Bearing Work

    If the spindle is a bolt on replacement, I'd be having a new one. If it's not, I'd be having a new axle. I hate fixing stuff. I REALLY hate fixing it twice.

    Which tournaments are you guys fishing?

    I view "events" and/or fundraisers as different than Tournaments like the casino or chamber events, even if there are prizes/a purse involved.

    Which tournaments are you guys fishing?

    Tourney guys should be required to have lettering no less than 2' tall with the tourney directors cell number on it for every tourney. That should be in effect from the 1st day of pre-fishing until the end of the tourney. The worst behavior happens during pre-fishing when they think nobody's...

    Which tournaments are you guys fishing?

    Unlimited would likely lead to lower overall participation. No sence of urgency to sign up and folks would plan other things or just plain forget. That coupled with the fact that tournament anglers are roughly on par with jet skiers for their annoyance factor to the rest of the lake means...

    Bearing Work

    Prior to pulling the trailer you could jack it up, wiggle each wheel and see if any are loose. Loose wheel = new bearing or new hub, whichever you're inclined to do. If you've pulled a ways and want to check then put your hand close to the hub (DO NOT JUST GRAB IT) and feel for heat. You...

    Is a GUI possible????

    The fines are doled out in the form of over/under done meat at a minimum up to and including 3rd degree burning on any/all appendages you're too close to the heat source with. Darwin and Murphy are low down mean dirty bastards. over/under done meat is a green light for the offending GUI chef...

    Bearing Work

    Did you bugger up the threads on the spindle as well? If so, just pony up for a whole new axle. If not and its just a bearing, I'd consider swapping out the whole hub. It's 1 castle nut and a bunch of new grease.

    Colt is Going Under

    Well, they quit making revolvers, screwed the pooch multiple times on bolt action rifles, never had a shotgun worth a damn, and are now subject to a bajillion competitors in the AR and 1911 market. Doggone difficult to sell entry level AR's @ $1200 anymore.
