I'd post pics of mine, but I have no experience with rigging geezer boats.

Here is a back and front view of my 'GEEZER' boat, just gotta love it...

I have been pullin 2 off each side and 1 on each side straight out of the back, but next time I go, I'm gonna pull 3 off each side mostly straight behind the boat and to an angle toward the outside and I think that will make netting one a little easier.
I pulled off the front, 3 on each side for a long time, then got the Ipilot.. To me there are a couple tricks to front pullin... I'll share if you want.
share um
Spit it out!!
Main trick is with MK foot control, and stick steer pullin off the front..Quote:

MK TM, tighten up the screw in the front to make steering harder so when you take your foot off it won't just turn on it's own..
Get your boat running straight with the TM, then steer the boat with your stick, you will be amazed at how easy it is..
Golly EZ. You'd think that the inventor, manufacturere and purveryer of whatchamacallits, doohickeys, and thingamabobs would have a few more accessories bolted to that thang.

They ain't got stick steers...Guess Rees could train his dog....G3T already has MinnerTroller trained pretty good though.

I had to add floatation to keep it from sinking in 8 seconds, now I got it to where it will stay afloat for at least 10.
I raise my motor out of the water anyway so it wouldnt help in my case. Bet it really works well in Gene's case. Yall need to remember I am pulling with a 55 pound TM so I have to get every advantage I can. By raising the motor to where only the skeg is in the water I gained .2 MPH and could cut the TM back some. If I raise it completely out of the water and it is a little windy it is a pain in the butt.:mad:
That's just what I needed. Thanks a lot E Z.Quote:
