    Intermittent Problem - need ideas!

    First let me say thanks to Macojoe for setting me up with Bigshrimpin and the spare power packs he sent me. :clap: The six-gallon tank solved the issue. As it turn out, you guys were right...tons of water in my tank and the motor was starving for fuel. I figured, (of course, we are all geniuses...

    Intermittent Problem - need ideas!

    I will try the 6 gallon tank with fresh fuel and a new hose/bulb and get back with my results. By the way, if there a way to test the bulb?

    Dorado

    We had a break in the weather (it's been 6'-10' lately) last Saturday and I was out fishing by 6am. Ran out about 6 miles to the gulfstream and trolled two lines running north out of Miami parallel to the weed line. By 10am I was going home with enough dolphin for my immediate family. Thinking...
