I have moved from Gerogia to NY and I'm still trying to get used to the technique here. I have always liked the idea of trolling, but never really mastered it. I always have a problem with line twist ... even after using some expensive swivels and a rudder setup.
Now I have the urge to get into...
I have a 1986 Mercrusier 2.5
I have experienced this as a reoccurring problem, I just tuned everything up and she runs out nice ( except ) ....:mad:
If I have been running with speed.... 3000 RPM to WOT and throttle down, let's say to pick up a skier... I get an idle at abt 1100 to 1200 RPMs...

I have replaced my belt every year and find that I need to adjust the tension almost every time I go out. I have set the deflection to abt 1/2". Is this right? I have also replaced the alternator pully, this helped some. I have been told that there is a revised...
