Re: WEEDS - Any way to prevent clogging of the water intakes?
20 years ago we had a horrible problem in Florida freshwater lakes, with Hydrilla. it was taking over the lakes, transferred by not washing down the boat an trailer. there were a lot of powerheads rebuilt because of the clogged pickups. to fish these infested lakes with just had to periodicly tilt the motor and clean the pickups. good for fishing, bad for engines. it got so bad the state sprayed to kill it. also in Florida it is against the law to disturb aquatic plant life. if you have to go in the weeds use a trolling motor, and tilt you engine up.
