    New to Tuna fishing

    Air I was thinking about a little trolling depending on how far we have to go, Fuel wise, and probably drifting while chuncking. Did you say you took a 200 # with the TLD, how long did it take and how much drag did you have on it.

    New to Tuna fishing

    Thanks guys for the replies and input. I now remember from a while back about Air doing some tuna fishing. How far from here do we need to go and what size fish are we talking about, You mentioned 50 - 200#. I am leaning towards the TLD 25 or the Ocean Master OML 25. I think the ocean master...

    Question about years

    Mike, mine is an 84 and the tank is under the console. I dont know what kind of project you are looking to get into or where you are located but I know where you can get a cuddy cabin for about $2000 with a 150 hp Johnson fast strike. The transom needs to be replaced. By now he may take even...

    BOCEPHUS done it again

    That was the Mccain Palin rally in Richmond Va. Monday, except McCain wasnt there. I was at the rally in Va. Beach earlier that morning when McCain and Palin were there. Hank sang the same songs and it was great to see Hank, McCain and Palin all together on one stage. Turbo

    Newbie asks: Is this a good deal?

    Nice looking boat. Ditto on the transom check. If the boat had been repainted look for blisters around the bunk boards, if they did not use the right paint it may blister in this area. Either way if the boat, trailer and motor is solid, I dont see where you can go wrong for the price. I...

    Whats up Air

    I just drove through the cove that day I met up with you, so I did not get a really good look, but I like where you are now better. I dont like my neighbors too close, after all when I go out to feed the dog and cats I usually only wear my tighty whities. I know I would have the cops knocking on...

    I hate lowrance!!!

    Did some research and I dont need the gauge just the flow sensor. I can plug it into my unit and display the data on my GPS screen.

    I hate lowrance!!!

    I have allways had good luck with Lowrance and have been thinking about getting the fuel flow meter. Are you serious about getting rid of yours. How much do you want for it. Of course I will have to make sure it is compatible with mine.

    Ignition troubles

    Well Saturday the 13th I had all my parts and the fly wheel puller came in. After a few honeydo's I was able to devote all my attention to the repairs at hand. I started pulling the flywheel at 1pm and by 430pm I was running the motor on the muffs in the yard. This job went alot easier then I...

    Ignition troubles

    Well my new parts should be here today. Last night I checked some of my wires and grounds. I found a bad ground wire to #3 coil and several suspect wires from the switches to the coils. When all is said and done I hope this thing will run like a scalled dog.

    Ignition troubles

    Rechecked my readings today and one of stator coils is open and the other is real high. Looks like a stator is going to be in order. Another question, while I'm at it should I replace the trigger since I will be right there? Should I go with CDI parts or Merc. Is one better then the other...
