If you happen to be like me who has a hard time telling Steelies and Atlantic's apart this Trifold is a big help. http://www.seagrant.sunysb.edu/articles/t/salmon-and-trout-of-lake-ontario-a-visual-identification-guide-new-york-coastlines-spring-summer-2012

Not sure they have manuals , but some useful stuff there . http://www.mercstuff.com/

It's crazy what batteries cost now but , I would never have just one . I have two connect to a switch one runs my main engine and all the accessories the other runs the kicker . If someone (me) leaves the lights on and the battery goes dead i just flip the switch and run on the kicker batt . Summer is to short to miss a day of fishing for a dead batt . Good Luck !!

found this : Best Answer - Chosen by VotersThe 165 is a GM 250 CID inline 6 block. These haven't been produced since about 1980. The modern equivalent is the GM 4.3L V 6, used by Merc, Volvo, and OMC, the basic 2 bbl carbed model producing 175-185 hp. Too bad they changed, in my opinion the old inline 250 was the best small marine inboard engine ever made.

Two Penn 620 Fathom-Master Down riggers with 4' booms and swivel bases . Cable is one season old . These are in Excellent condition . New they are $395.00 each . $300 for the pair cash/paypal/firm.

I would think if you set the motor on a block thick enough to get the maximum bit with the clamps and then use the holes on the engine bracket to bolt the motor to the transom you would be fine . Most kickers have holes on the brackets so you can drill into the transom and bolt them too. Also makes it harder for someone to steal your motor . or ...... http://www.marinetechproducts.com/pages ... orMount450 Good Luck !

Hi ! I always pull my batteries charge them and store them in the basement for the winter. I have 4 seasons on them now . Was wondering if they would go for a 5 th summer ? How long should they last ? ( dual starting batt ) Thanks JT

Hi ! I was wondering if anybody used a snubber on their downrigger weight . Scotty sells them for their riggers and seem popular out west. I use 12# balls and was curious how well they would hold up . http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... P7g_B3C3Sk JT

I'm not a big fan of brackets with moving parts especially if you trailer your boat . I have the Panther , works great . https://www.adventuremarine.net/product ... &do=detail http://www.marinetechproducts.com/pages ... boardMotor Good Luck !
