    Question for E-Tec Expert

    I was told by BRP Tech Support that a 4 blade prop is not recomended for a 90 HP E-Tec. His words "You don't want to use a 4 blade on that motor." I ask "Why not?", he says, "You just don't!" This is not a good answer for me. Does anyone have a better answer?

    Best Prop for the Money

    In my previous post I asked about Powertech Props. Walleyehed wrote "There are better performing props for the same or less money." I'm wondering what everyone's opinion (especially Walleyehed, because I truly consider him a prop specialist) is on what the best performing prop is for the...

    Helm Alignment

    I have a 2005 16' Mr Pike. When the boat is tracking straight in the water the helm needs to be rotated about 90 degrees clockwise. I can't seem to get the helm off the shaft. Any ideas?

    E-Tec - Lund

    I suppose the only real reason for this post is to be able to vent. I ‘m not even sure I’m posting on the right forum. <br /> All that being said, I’ll begin with a little history.<br />I have a 1993 16’ Lund Explorer powered by a 30 HP Johnson, which I bought in July of 2001. Love the...

    Lake of the Ozarks

    I'm starting to plan a fall fishing trip (last week in October) to Lake of the Ozarks. Can anyone tell me how the bass fishing is at this time of year. Also can anyone recomend a nice resort on the northeast end (closest to Illinois border). Thanks in advance!

    Trailer level-boat level?

    When choosing a draw bar with the proper offset, should the main beam of the trailer be level, or should the gunwale (proper spelling?) of the boat be level. Assuming of course that the tow vehicle and trailer are parked on level ground.

    Proper Anchoring

    It has always been my understanding that the bow of a boat will point into the wind. At what point should the anchor rhode be first secured to the boat? Should it be the bow eye or the forward cleat? <br />I have a 16' (75" beam) Lund Explorer. What is the proper anchor for this boat?

    Lowrance X102C Speed Sensor

    Fishing Footwear

    This is kind of a dumb question. As long as the water is not solid, I fish. Over and above Goretex lined shoes, what do all you other northern residents do to keep your feet warm, when out on the water?
