    I'm switching from from brakes to disk brakes. I'm losing the battle of corrosion. My brakes are surge brakes. Does anyone know how to bleed the brakes. Do I pull the emergency actuater to do this. THanks

    Full Moon and Fishing Tidal Waters

    What is the story with the full moon and fishing. Went out this weekend in the bay for stripers/fluke/ or whatever would bite, the fishing wasn't too good. The current was running very hard it normally does during a full moon. Is the full moon a good or bad time to fish? I've heard both good and...

    2002 Mercury 200 HP EFI Saltwater EFI

    Anyone with any comments? Good or Bad.<br />I was a previous Yamaha owner (carburated) and was reluctant to switch. But to be honest, I really like this engine. It starts so easy and is fast. Sucks on gas though. I hope it is as reliable as my previous Yamahas.

    Circle Hooks...Opinions Please

    I fish saltwater and now use circle hooks almost exclusively. I agree that they greatly limit the amount of gut-hooked fish, but at times I think they detract from the fishing experience because you're not really supposed to set the hook. Lifting the rod and reeling in isn't as much fun.

    I just purchased a radar and need some help/advice in mounting the radome. My boat has a soft T-top. Is anyone aware of a power tower that clamps onto the t-top or does a piece have to be welded on. :)

    2002 Trophy Center Consoles

    Read some of the hoopla about Bayliner. I had a chance to look at the new Trophy Center consoles at the New York boat show, specifically, the 2103. For the money, the Trophy 2103 with the Pro pack looks like a very well laid out fishing boat and a good value in comparison to other boats in this...

    2002 200 hp EFI Mercury Saltwater

    I just purchased a new boat. I was forced to go with the 200 hp EFI Mercury Saltwater outboard. I've owned only Yamahas 115 Saltwater and 40 Hp. They were both great engines. Any concerns about the Mercury EFI. Should I have gone with the Optimax?
