    Default Finally got the boat right


    Got the new TM battery put it and it's running like a top. Then even after I had the mechanic overhaul the carbs , change the lower unit oil n new impeller, the boat would get out of the hole at all. You could rev it up without a load but in gear it just wouldn't go. It'd get up to plane but it took a couple minutes. Did a little reading and it was one of two things. Bad compression or a fouled plug. Got home today and cranked it up , then pulled one plug wire off at a time. Zappppp on the first one and the motor started cutting out. Same thing on number two. Number three didn't zapped me and no change it the motor . I had another plug on hand and after changing out plugs, this time when I pulled the wire off , it zapped me. Then when I put it in gear under a load, it reved up like it's supposed to.

    Trying new places early. Couple places a bass bud of mine has caught monster crappie on a spinnerbait, while bass fishing. He caught a 3 1/2 pounder last spring in one of these spots. That weight was on a scale, not guessed. Said he caught over a half dozen big crappie in this one place in under 45 minutes, all on a bass spinnerbaits.
