minn kota maxxum. the front shaft and spring release is great. it takes a LOT of abuse without fail. I like the mg's also, but the spring loaded mounting of the shaft and the flex that it allows in collisions sets the units apart for me. jd

mike w, i wrote about using the roto zip to widen the hole in the front panel. I also used a pneumatic air wrench to screw the nuts on. I could not get to the front 2 nuts still. It took Soonerfans son Andy to get to those. If the holes do not line up with the existing holes you will want...

I bought some LED lights a couple months ago also from BPS. I believe they were made by Sea Sense and they are available in the rectangular and the oval model. I really like them alot as they are much brighter. I kept blowing bulbs and had all kinds of troubles with the lights on the trailer...

Harpo, sorry to hear, my thoughts and prayers are with ya. jd

that is what I was thinking wolfcount. I saw a show on tv where they were crappie fishing and using some premade chum. the show was sponsored by academy sporting goods. it was a bag with a rope on it that you submerged. they say it takes about an hour for it to start working. i know the...

crappies should be shallow right now. you will need an area next to some deeper water also. might try some cattle cubes or hog pellets in a bucket or a burlap sack suspended a day b4 you fish. I think academy outdoors sells some chum that should work also. problem with crappies is that they...

sa, try that adventurer link in the post above. this looks like a pretty good tent. i'll probably purchase one real soon and let everyone know what i think of it. I just wanted something I could stretch out in and get a good nights sleep instead of driving home with one hand on the...

thought a truck tent would work out for me as it would get you off the ground, should hold up well in the wind and rain, and most importantly my air mattress should fit perfectly. harpo, thanks for the offer as it is kind of you. I've camped alot in years past (back before I had gray hair...

Rob, i think the dvd thing is a great idea. if these do go out, you might want to put and ad or info for your guide service on there to help promote the biz. i'd like to get a copy also, just let me know how much. hope you are still wearing that OU hat. jd

wow, can't believe all the replies. me! one of my batteries is 3 months old and the other is 10 months old. don't think it is the batteries, just that pro mariner prosport 20plus thing just doesn't take care of the batteries very well at all. i won't even put it up for sale. only good...

ditto on the wind. it sure has blown the last 2 or 3 weeks with a lot of fronts coming thru. hard for a working man to enjoy fishing. jd

which guest chargers are you guys running? my first guest only lasted about a year but I could depend on it. has guest has come out with a newer line or just changed the exterior housing. can't find much info on them on their website and would have to order. jd

harpo, sorry to hear about the prop. have okc prop shop check everything out for you while you are there. they will look at the whole setup and get things checked out and also you may improve on the old prop. after fork, i'll probably be there myself if you know what i mean. take care. jd

joe, i love to crappie fish and used to fish for them and cats most of the time. I haven't fished at night for them but a good friend of mine does in the summer months. He uses a 12V Lamp with the styrofoam around it for flotation and it works just fine. Bass Pro, Academy, and Walmart have...

make sure you do not overtighten the the bolts on top of the housing - use a torque wrench. I replace at least the impeller every year. I replace the whole housing and kit every other year. probably overkill, but I feel good about it. jd

P-line or Silver Thread XCaliber. I like them because they are limp compared to others I have tried. I hate line memory. I use the silver thread excaliber exclusively now. jd

mike, i put a maxxum 65 on my lx700 and used the nuts and bolts which came with the motor. make sure you REMOVE the old motorguide T-nuts or whatever they are called. If yours had an old motorguide, like mine, the old rubber inserts are a lot larger that the 1/4" bolt for the mk. I ended...

i have the lx700 and my bearings were the type with 2 different sizes, i think they were like 1 3/8" x 1 1/16". I believe that if you pull the hub and the spline is tapered, then you probably will have this type of bearing set up. I didn't have the tools to get the rear bearings out so I just...

bj, thanx for posting as this looks pretty clever and hard to detect unless you were looking out for it. I use atm's all the time and probably wouldn't notice this xtra reader. jd

soonerfan, you are right about all the tracker/nitro boats at the lake as I was noticing that also. My face and neck got toasted also by the sun and wind. was going to go out today, but decided to stay out of the sun. I only caught one bass 4lb on a jig in about a foot of water. the lake...
