• Woe Is The Life Of Chasing Crappie/pics

    Today was the good and the bad. The good was the fishing. Another fine catch of Slabs. Around 70 today. I took a few white perch home for dinner. My new motor has been not holding place when trim is raised. I took a moment to adjust the setting and had a strange odor in my nose. Like something burning. Thought nothing of it and towed home. I went to look at the trim adjustment again and had that odor come back to me. As I walked around the boat I found the odor. Right side wheel bearings were gone. At least I was home. I always replace the bearings and seals in the spring. By gone I mean no bearings left at all. How I got home I don't know.

      Very vivid pics, try some marine synthetic grease with the new bearings, never failed me yet in Florida heat & that's of course what bearings do... GET HOT!
