Crappie are hot, my motor is not.
Well, This is the time of year I love the best for chasing crappie. I was doing pretty good using DK’s single pole technique and now my boat motor is failing me. 2007 Optimax has always run great. Now it will run ok for about 15 minutes then dies and won’t stay running....won’t even idle. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and it will start perfect and will run at an idle long enough to get it on the trailer. Fuels good, no trash in the filters or in the fuel pump chambers. It’s sure got me scratching my head.
