    crack in my hull!

    I have a 16' 1989 Valco bayrunner that I have had for a year and a half. Despite its clipper bow, it does bang some when running in short chop, but after all, I bought a solid welded hull instead of a riveted one so as not to have worries like that. Well, last week my brother and i are out i...

    Which way to the ramp?

    So my brother and I head out of the Shilshole launch in Seattle the other day in search of salmon, and while we are gearing up the boat at the dock, here comes a guy towing an old 70's 'glass runabout with a shiny new downrigger on it. After about ten abortive attempts at backing the boat down...

    Crawdad trap ideas/plans?

    I'm trying to figure out how to build a better crawdad trap than the one I've got, and amazingly enough, this is not something I could find by just entering it into google. So I thought I'd ask here..<br /><br />I have one of those cylinder traps with the inverted cone entrances at each end, but...

    Constitution dismantled, forced psychological testing-Conserative?

    Forced psychological testing of all US children? Dismantling of the constitution by so-called "patriot act II"? Do you folks who support Bush really want this stuff? Why? Do you really think that "freedom" and "democracy" are served by having our legislators voting on 3000 page bills that they...

    9.9 Yamaha test specs-HELP! HELP!

    I am having a world of grief right now with my '91 yam 9.9 kicker. It was refusing to idle a while back and I went through the carb, but found nothing amiss, and when I put it back on, it was fine. Now, two or three trolling trips later, I am having problems again. Today, while out on buoy 10...

    Pro 60 power tilt bleeding down??

    So I've had this boat for about four months now, a 16' Bayrunner with a 1999 yamaha Pro 60 and a 1991 4 stroke 9.9. I've noticed that frequently the power tilt on the 60 will not stay tilted up, and it drifts down slowly. When it drifts too low it changes the steering, and if it is too high it...

    HELP! 1991 yamaha 9.9 won't idle/low speed!

    I've had this boat for almost three months (16' aluminum valco), and the 9.9 kicker has worked without missing a beat. Today, after having to use the kicker at full throttle for a bit when the big motor wouldn't go (low oil reservoir alarm..Oops!), later in the day, I had a heck of a time...
