    2019 Mercury 20HP EFI 4 stroke, hard initial start.

    Electric start. Motor is very stubborn to start initially. Once it starts and I run it. It’ll start right up for the rest of the day. Any ideas where to start. Primer bulb seems to be fine, plugs are good, fuel filter good.

    Shingles

    Not a big fan of all these vaccines and flu shots especially after the Covid fiasco. But if you haven’t got the shingles vaccine you should get it. Stuff ain’t no joke. Last week I had unbearable pain in my abdomen and back. So much so I went the ER. Turns out it was shingles. The doc was able...

    About to pull the trigger on a pair of eco worthy 12.8 volt 100AH to power 24 volt T-Motor. Any input or experience on these particular batteries used for T-motor power. appreciated. I have an eco worthy 12.8 50ah that I’m using for my electronics that seems OK so far but the draw on the battery...

    OK I’ve had enough.

    I’m done with the snow and cold. Another 5 inch dump of snow this morning. I’ve got work to do on my alumacraft and my crestliner and no room in the garage to get it done. Bring on some of the global warming!

    Took advantage of a nice day.

    Dragged the new to me alumacraft 1542 out to a lake. Bought it a few months ago but never put it in the water till today. Just a little leak check before I put in a floor. It’s a newer boat and really good shape but I still wanted to check. Ran it out in the lake with a T-motor. Not a drop...

I think it would be beneficial to a lot of members here looking to save $ on used parts and also to members looking to sell good usable parts. Something where...

    Tin boat prices

    Time to upgrade my junker 14 foot aluminum reservoir electric only boat. It’s seen better days. Been looking at used 16 foot flat bottom jon boats, nothing fancy just plain Jane basic boat, signs of wear and tear acceptable , most include a trailer of various states of quality. I can’t find...

    Pa escaped prisoner

    Not sure if this is national news, but an illegal alien escaped prison, was up on a murder charge. This guy has been running 13 days and now has a gun. A homeowner shot at him but apparantly missed. The perimeter is about 17 miles from my home. A wee bit unnerving. Story here...

    Win for me today!

    Fishing was slow this morning but was a winner nonetheless. Felt some dead weight on my jig and pulled it in. Was a shimano Clarus casting rod paired with a shimano curado DC. This thing couldn’t have went overboard long ago. The reel is the latest one. Looks like it was its first day out when...

    Crazy sighting.

    We are sitting on the deck tonight and my daughter in law says look at that up in the sky. We look and there is a series of lights that are definitely out in space, single file in a perfect straight line moving along at a good clip across the sky. We figured about 40 or more. We are all...

    Motor swap, back and forth.

    I’ve got a crestliner set up with a 2020 20HP mercury motor to run on a local HP restricted lake. I want to set myself up with a 50 HP to swap out maybe a couple times a year for lakes with no restriction and so with a passenger I can move along. My thoughts are I’ll stick with mercury of same...

    What the bunk.

    I go to take out today and see my one bunk hanging down. Was a bit hairy with the wind and an audience driving the boat on without gouging it. Got her tied on for the ride home. New hardware is in order all the way around and a stash of big zip ties in the truck.

    Disappointed!

    Turned on the tube and thought GREAT ! they are running some old Monty Pythons Flying Circus. Turns out to be the real Royals 🤮. No John Clease or Eric Idle this morning. Right now I think the king is behind a curtain getting some kind of oil put on his head. Will he appear with a full head of...

    Thoughts on potential automated pitch calling in MLB

    I’m not a big fan of the idea. I like the human element of the game. I like the no shift, pitch clock, limited pick off attempts and other new rules put in to place this year. Automated pitch calling would be a bit much for my liking. That said C.B. Bucknor called a Phillies Rangers game last...

    Realmuto Tossed from spring trading game😀

    https://www.foxnews.com/sports/phillies-jt-realmuto-ejected-spring-training-game-bizarre-sequences-umpire.amp Funny, Kimbrel apparantly already had a ball in his hand so JT pulled his glove down having no idea what the ump was doing behind him. Spring training nonetheless

    Registered at my local lake today,, Bit of a rant😮

    There is a 814 acre reservoir up the road from me. Electric motors only and a ten day quarantine before you can splash a boat due to fears of zebra muscles. What they do is have about 100 trailer spots in a lot at the launch. Cost 100$ a year to keep your boat there for the season. Also have a...

    XFL, Anyone watching?

    Caught parts of a couple of the games. Interesting league for sure. I like some of the rules they have in place. Not going out of my way to watch. But entertaining when not much else is going on.
