    I think most will agree once you fish with down temp and speed you won't want to be without it .On lake O every time I turn I have to adjust speed and every time the wind blows down temp changes . All the units today work well and if money isn't an object I would buy the the Fish Hawk . I myself am a weekend warrior and found a Depth Raider refurb on Ebay for $330. This will be my 4th season on the coated cable and see no real sign of wear.(you can reverse ends of the cable to extend it's life ) I have Scotty electric riggers and bought their antenna adapter that works great with the stop beads on the coated cable. Good Luck !!

    I am curious . Why would you run without a thermostat ? Seems like in the Spring and Fall when the Lake water is cold your engine would never warm up to a good running temp and could do more harm then good. Unlike a car with a closed cooling system your are always pumping cold water into the engine . I guess I thought motors ran better when warm . (always ready to learn )

    Speaking of running on a float down the chute . Anyone use a Church Tackle TX-007 Stern Planer ? Seems like it could work pretty well for running your copper long off the stern to make room for landing fish.

    Hows the engine Coupler? Might be a good time to replace it if it has a lot of hours on it ,

    Not sure how it compares to the Okuma Clarion but I bought a Okuma Convector High Speed from Tunas Reel Trouble ($99.) and mounted on a Okuma Classic Pro GLT copper rod and love it (400'copper). What ever reel you buy I would be sure to get something with 6:1 retrieve . When running copper there is so much line out it's nice to be able to get it in quickly if you need to clear tackle . http://stores.tunasreeltroubles.com/brands/OKUMA.html

    Hi ! I just received my new Carbontex drag washers for my Tekota 800 Cooper setup. The instructions say you can use them dry or with grease . Was wondering if anybody is using these and what method would be best . (dry or greased ) Thanks and Merry Christmas to All !

    I wonder if you could build a couple of boxes 6"wide by 24" long (or longer ) that fit in the corners. You could build them so they could mount to the floor , the splash well and the gunnels. The long side of the box would run parallel and flush to the top of the gunnels . You could add some shelves/storage in the boxes sort of like a book shelve to store tackle and down-rigger weights. You could mount your riggers and rod holders to the top . Mounting them to the floor ,well and gunnel would strengthen the transom /gunnels and leave the back of the boat open for you . Good Luck !

    Are the bellows cracked ? Did you replace the seals on the lower unit and pressure test it after you fixed it ? http://www.sterndrive.cc/

    I would think you would want to prop the boat so at WOT your RPMs would be the manufacturers recommended 4400-4800. The best way to stay on plane at lower speeds would be Trim Tab's or adding a fin to the outdrive . I added a SE 300 sport hydrofoil to mine , helped with hole shot and staying on plane at lower rpm's .

    here are a couple pic of my fuel line with the collapsed lining.

    Merc had problems with their older gray fuel lines where the inside of the fuel line separates and starts to brake apart clogging the fuel flow . If you cut the line near one of the fittings or bulb you will see the separation , if that is your problem. (if not just reconnect the line ) My Merc has a fuel filer under the cover , you might see little pieces of the line in the filter . I have a 2002 15hp that had the bad line . Good Luck
