    Is a small screen going to drive me nuts? Seems like that's the major price difference. As the screens get bigger so do the price tags. I know they also have more features, but I see big price jumps that seem to go along with screen size.

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    OD is 1 1/2" ID is a bit fluid. There is about an 1/8" lip/ledge with a screen in the middle. As long as it fits in the housing and doesn't cover up much of the screen I think all is well. ID measured out at 1 5/16", but think the "ledge" around the outside of screen could support a 1 1/4" ID...

    Nasty Lube

    Knew had a leak in the lower unit, but only ran this guy about an hour last year before getting my Fastwin. Quick question and pardon me if this is the wrong forum, but it's not motor specific. I drained the grease and man what a yucky mess. Milky and kinda clinging to everything. Is it OK to...

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    The 2" was just a ballpark figure. I did measure the opening with calipers and these are the closest in size. I just wonder which type would be better, flat or X?

    Ah, I see. Just thought maybe there would be a way for anglers who have mapped a lake to pass the info along to others fishing the same lake. Like on a thumb drive or something.

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    Would these be a better choice? They are the same dimension but says takes less pressure to make them seal. That it has two lips so it's less likely to leak: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/x-rings/od~1-505/

    McCulloch Leaking Filter Bowl

    Would this work? Seems to be the correct size. Don't see where it says is specifically works with gasoline. Also wondering how thick it is. Maybe I missed that spec? https://www.mcmaster.com/products/o-rings/square-profile-chemical-resistant-viton-fluoroelastomer-o-rings/od~1-505/

    How do maps work? Can I get a map for my lake off a database somewhere? It's not that big, but it is one of the largest area lakes not counting Michigan. Never been on the big lake in anything smaller than a cabin cruiser. Not sure if want to fish that one with my little tinny.

    Never had one. Don't know anything about them. Don't know if need one. One thing I do know is don't want to spend a fortune on one. Some guidance from you old pros would be appreciated. Plan to mainly fish in a small lake and a nearby river. Would it really do me a lot of good? If get one with...

    Help IDing a Johnson

    Was hoping it was a 9.9. Current owner seems clueless. I don't really want a 5.5. Especially one that looks to be a bit neglected. Offered $75, but doubt if will pursue it.

    Help IDing a Johnson

    Boo! That's what I was thinking. The 9.9 has a busted upper thrust bushing and they don't make 'em anymore. Used ones are stupidly expensive.

    Help IDing a Johnson

    Sorry, this is just something on the local FB MP I saw. No additional pics. I was mostly curious as to whether or not could use parts from this on my 76 rude 9.9. Been looking for a Johnnyrude parts motor all winter. Found one, but sold before I could grab it.

    Worm Bed Anyone?

    Dug it out deeper. Wasn't easy. Added 18" of gravel. A waste of time. Pretty sad. The worms now live in a condo next to a swimming pool. Guess I'm gonna have to move this thing someplace else.

    Worm Bed Anyone?

    Picked up 200 or so crawlers last night after the big rain. Was surprised to see any since the ground was hard not much more than a week ago. A lot of scrawny ones, but some big guys too. Now I got something to restock the bed with after I re-do it. What's good to put in there besides shredded...

    Worm Bed Anyone?

    Well you sure called that one airshot. I dug into the bed today and wow, what a mucky mess. Surprisingly there were pretty many nightcrawlers, but thiink the red worms all died. I'm going to do what you suggested and dig the hole deeper and add gravel underneath.

    Which Side Left???

    Well the cop was impressed with it and called it good. I thought it was sort of half-ass, but he asked if the BMV sent it to me! So all is good. Took a month and 6 forms, but just one trip to the license branch away from getting it titled and registered.

    Bad Upholstery a Deal Killer?

    Gotcha. I'm beginning to think you guys may have saved my ass on this one. The cheap price really got me thinking. It even has a title! What a rare and wonderful plus! LOL
