I know for an almost certian,and probably true fact, you can purchase a gps unit a small, hard to see unit, put it in a boat, hide it- someone elses boat that is, and go back later, hook it up to the ole computer and down load there tracks, just like the black box in some new cars to keep track of children. yep seen that done at bucksaw last year, or that's what I thought I saw. so knowing that and now knowing this (your post) I know now to fish all some one elses spots when the double D is arround. I still snicker when I see your handle. double Ds 20 dollars is my bid

You could at least let me fish out of it sometime.

Now that I can do you are welcome to fish out of it anytime. Maybe it will even plain.

YOUR PROBLEY RIGHT BUT IT WORKED FOR ME AND I DIDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING ON PLANE WITH THE BOAT LOADED DOWN IN THE OCEAN CALLED LOZ,,,,,,JARRID,,I HAD ONE OF THOSE COMPOSIT CHEEPO'S FOR A SPARE,,,,BUT REMEMBER TO CARRY A WRENCH AND A SMALL SHORT 2X4 TO USE AS WEDGE TO HOLD THE PROP WHEN YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT ON THE WATER,,,,JMO

Ya I will have to get a wrench to put in there also. I thought about the composite for a spare. Friend of mine bought one for when he is pulling tube around. Saves a few $$$. When Walt fixed my spun hub last winter he just had me put it in gear. Seemed to work fine.

To Each His Own,,,what I Did Worked For Me,,i Guess You Have To Do What Your Comfortable With...jmo

Have a clean 26P four blade Merc Trophy, late 90's circa that have kept for a spare all these years. Prop was on the engine only once to try and didn't see much time, fortunately never needed it as a backup. If anyone is in need of a spare or different prop let me know. Its the older version, since then there is a Trophy Plus.

That was the only time I had ever seen it done. Maybe tie the wrench on to the 2X4 with a few feet of string so it does not sink when my clumsey arse drops it in the lake. Will also need a small pair of needle nose for the pin that gos through it. Maybe good idea to tie them all to the 2X4. Other wise I can see a beagle kind of day happening to me.
