So the better question AaronJ, I know your not going to go without this summer, what's the flavor for the 2019 season? - - -...

    Strictly Sonar: Lowrance/Bird/Garmin

    Well, as a life long Lowrance user, I completely made the switch on the new boat to birds. I have a ton of learning to do still and have only gotten to use the Helix 10 SI G2N that was factory rigged on the dash. The new G3N's that were recently rigged have only been fired up in the garage...

    Towtector

    I took my enclosed trailer to tiff trucks in Minot and had them spray the hitch and front v of the frame with line-x. Kinda did it as preventative maintenance. After a few trips out to Cooke sledding I could see it was taking a beating. With the line-x, after two trips, still looks like new. We...

    Towtector

    I've looked at the Tier 4 Towtector and think it's probably the best hitch mounted system out due to the fact that it combines brushes and a rubber backing. I think this helps alleviate complaints from those that have owned rubber flaps and brush flaps. I have had two sets of Rock Tamers and I...

    opti-max oil

    Quicksliver also has a DFI oil, it isn't any cheaper than the black bottled mercury DFI oil, comes down to more what you can find. They say you can use any TCW3 oil in a pinch however I personally wouldn't use anything but the Mercury or QuickSilver DFI oil in an Opti. After owning 2 trouble...

    Prop Help

    I'm going to divulge here a bit, setting up boats to run and run well works well with my Type A personality, lol. Your right Riggen, you can't run every prop at the same height, there's a lot of factors both on the boat and the prop that will make a different. However, note that not all...

    Prop Help

    Not the case at all, motor height is more a function or set-back / hull configuration, prop diameter and tip cupping. A three blade tempest will run as high as any of the 4 blades that are used on our style of boats.

    Prop Help

    Here, let me fix this for you! Seriously through, there is no downside to getting your boat operating in the RPM band where it's supposed to. If it'll run at the top of the RPM range when light, it will perform decent when loaded, you'll lug the engine less putting less wear and tear on it...

    Boat battery recommendation?

    Tried a set if Trojan 27s in the enclosed snowmobile trailer this season. So far so good, time will tell if I get 5+ years out them. Definitely a noticeable difference over the interstates I had been using. The sled trailer is brutal on batteries. Trying to get decent reserve capacity when the...

    Prop Help

    New rig is a 2018 Yar-Craft 219TFX W/350 Verado, previous rigs were a 2013 Yar-Craft 186 FSX W/200Opti, 2011 Skeeter WX1900 W/200HPDI, and a 2002 Yar-Craft 1895 Storm SC W/ a 2006 225Opti. Lots of prop & engine height testing on those first three. Hopefully I learned a thing or two and the 219...

    Prop Help

    My thought would be to get it through break-in and get around 10-15 hours on it. Then see what it does with what will be your lightest load you'd ever run. At that point, you can start dialing it in via prop pitch and engine height. If you don't have a jackplate, a good starting point is to get...

    Erie bound

    Aaron, there are some fellow Yar-Craft folks that guide in that area. Jay Couch is one that I know of for sure. Nice guy and you'd feel right home in his rigs. He delivered my last boat up this way. An Erie trip is always in the back of my mind, been thinking about doing one for about 3-years...

    Shock collar

    PAIN, If your not getting any response, typically the collar is not tight enough, the prongs are too short, or the stimulation level needs to be turned up. However, with that said, it is a correction tool to go along with obedience training. If the dog doesn't understand why he/she is being...

    Shock collar

    I have a sportdog underground fence enclosing 6 acres and it works excellent. Just make sure you throw the wire that comes in the kit in the trash and order some 12Ga direct bury tracer wire. That'll save you a bunch of headache. Also, I still maintain I'd take a good beeper collar over a GPS...

    Shock collar

    Dogta 2500t&b has worked flawlessly for me. I ran it’s predecessor, the 2000 T&B for 12 seasons before retiring it. It has a 0-100 retrostat for levels of correction, two correction modes, three beeper/locator modes and two different tones for the beeper. When working tight tall cover like...

    Sb 2315 - final house vote delayed!!

    This is exactly the same as I have received. We obviously live in the same district. Although I'm not sure my district senator and I see eye to eye, we've had some good debate back and forth and I appreciate the fact he has taken the time to both respond and listen. Fegley has provided zero...

    Dog food ?

    Been feeding my hounds the Rachel Ray stuff and it has agree'd with both of them. First ingredient is a protien which I feel is important versus that of a grain or corn which can be used as a filler. I tried science diet but it must've been a bit too hot for my Brittney's, it went through them...

    Used Pickup Help

    $15k was mentioned in the first post. FYI. Although they might be out of the price range, the ford 6.4 diesels can be a bargain. They were and still are the strongest stock diesel in a pick-up made. They were horrendous on fuel mileage and needed a only a few things to be bullet proof. Basically...
