Old carb played out. Bought new one and put it on.
Starts and runs good as well as idle with no gas leaking
out of breather. When engine is shut down, gas drips from
the carb breather. Could this...

Update on mtr. It's a 3.5 tahatsu & not 2.5. Bought a water pump
kit. Dropped the lower unit and the water pump impeller was toast.
The hardest part of the whole thing was lining the lower unit...

Hadn't thought about that, but will give that a try. I wasn't getting
a real good seal, but it's always worked in the past. Thanks for the
suggestion. RD

Thanks Scrapper for your info. I've already ordered a Water pump kit, but
will also check out your advise first jut to see. RD

Engine is 2007 with not that many hrs. Been dormant for last 3 years
due to my health. Son & I decided we are going fishing now. The little
motor would not start, we cleaned carb and it now runs,...

There are lots of post on this subject. I use 5 rod holders. Two are at the very back on each side straight out.
One on side at steering wheel and the other directly across from it on side(straight...

You could probably buy it a little cheaper. I have a 2.5 Tahashu bought
new in 08 for $800.00. I made a mount for it to troll long line. It sits
beside my 150 Johnson,I have fished this way for...

I run cranks most all time. If things get slow I will sometimes
take the rear hooks off a crank and tie a two ft line with a hairy
tail jig on it. This method catches fish for me, but they are not...

I have about 15 or 20 poles. I long line 100% of the time,
and all poles are equipped with spinning reels of all different
makes and models. All are open bails.
My experience long lining is that...

I don't live near your lake, but would help you if I did. Try the Tenn board, I'm
sure there are some guys near you that would be glad to help you.

I've pulled cranks for years. Never trolled with the electric troll mtr. I made a bracket
and placed a 3.5 hp OB beside my 150.I set the 3.5 in such an angle that I can steer
the boat at the wheel...

Nice catch.. I haven't been able to fish JPP much this year but enjoy the trolling. How
deep does that lure you're using go? Good to see bigger crappie this year.

Nice find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have one of the older Garcia and used
them also in my younger days. Good reels. think mine is a 300.

I have fished the same lake since around 1983 or 1984, which makes everything
a plus. I can't remember ever getting completely skunked. I, however do not fish
in the winter. Always long line...

I got the Walmart 29. It comes with a 2 yr full replacement warr. (just keep receipt). The
27 series little cheaper but less warranty.

I went 5/31 and all crappie were 10'' plus. That is a good sign. I was trolling cranks.

Guess I just got lucky. I just eyeballed them on length. Will start using
tape from now on just to be sure.

Just got back from lake caught a few crappie and one bass.
When I was getting ready to load TWRA pulled up. They measured all
my fish which were all legal size limit, but did not check me for my...

I love my Tohatsu as well as my Mercury and Johnson. I bought the Tahatsu new in 08.

Didn't know exact place to post this, but I am getting ready to
clean my spinning reels I use only for crappie. My question is
what brand or type of greese or lube are you guys using on
your reels?

99% of my trolling is crank baits only.

It doesn't bother me

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time out there Saturday. I've fished
that lake 30 yrs and as we all know if it can happen it will happen on a lake.
My fishing buddy fell overboard out there a...

have Johnson 150gt v6. Boat has no tach. Was wondering if an auto
tach would work. The auto tach can be set for 4,6 &8cyl. Then my
next question would be how to wire it.

Nice fish, and good to see Priest giving up those pretty crappie.

I went thru this on my 150 Johnson. I believe I bought new telflex cables
and threw the old cables away. Pay the price keep them greased and forget it.

I run 4 poles. The two in the back or 5 1/2 to 6'. The two in the center sides of the boat are
approx. 7 ft. All are med action rods of different makes.I own a lot of rods, but none over
7ft.

Have 150 v6 Johnson 1990 model. Bought it about two yrs ago. The VRO is unplugged and
I have been mixing the oil and gas. Would you hook up the VRO, or just keep mixing the
fuel and oil? I've...

My lake is on the choppy side at times, so what I have learned I should get at
least one Marine battery for cranking and forget the trolling motor batteries.
Walmart wants $75.00 for the Everstart...

If two of those batteries operate the trolling mtr alone, it just
makes sense that I use only one (the marine). I suppose Walmart
is as good as the others.
