To all of you c.c members who suggested I take my broken trolling motor to Robby's for repair,I want to say "thank you".He was fast and reasonably priced. Crappie ciller I want you to know that as you requested, I dutifully waited to take my motor in until yours was repaired. In fact, Robby remembers you! He said he had never seen anyone manage to get as much monofilament wrapped around the shaft of their trolling motor as you did.

Now that's funny! Were you trying to change out a reel faster ciller? I guess it beats a wad of braid in there. Glad he fixed you up R an!

Reaper you need to know chiller is learning to use his trolling motor instead of dropping his anchor in the middle of wood...lol...maybe I should of taken more care and time to explain that its not good on that piece of equipment to use as a line removal tool. I am sure he understands that now...my bad......Ranger

Well shoot! Is it too late to claim that Robby got me mixed up with someone else?

Crappie ciller you seem like a man who enjoys a little humor. I hope you didn't mind me having a little fun. I'm not sure if Robby remembers you or not.

I thought it was a good one Racquet and am as always just happy to be included! It would have been even better had you pulled it on Ranger of course. Don't worry about watching your back for my revenge. Just relax for now as it will take me a long time to plot the perfect post. Not to worry Ann, oops an.

George you know me I just couldn't leave it alone. All in fun my brother.......Ranger

You know the irony of that was that though I have not yet fouled my own prop I did strip a spool of 6pm Vicious with Ledge's trolling motor. I was actually trying to get even after the massive weight of the thing almost pulled me over the side the first time I set it in the water! We were over a hot pile in winds that were picking up at the time so Ledge and Larry had to make like it was no biggie while I unwrapped and we drifted away. I'm sure it's just coincidence that I haven't heard much from those guys since as I was otherwise the perfect companion. As the wind shoved us away I thought to myself " see there Ranger, anchors are our friends after all."

i have a transom mount 54lbs. thrust variable speed motor guide that when I put it in the water this year it works for about 10 seconds then quits. Several minutes later it will work again for about 10 seconds then quit. Is it worth trying to get it fixed or should I just tie a rope to it and use it as an anchor. If I'm looking at $100+ to fix it then it's now trash and my fishing season has ended before it really began as this was my main motor. My budget is almost nill for another 4 years till I get that stupid car paid off my wife just had to have last year even though I said we couldn't afford it. I know my best bet would be to just quit fishing until I can afford it again but I'm fairly certain my marriage will not last much longer if I don't get back on the water. /end rant
