Yea I'll second the blown out drive while the kicker saved the day!! Wasn't fun at the time, but I can talk about jokingly today.

That's the type bracket I have also for my kicker, but I have the out drive. So I made the kicker on the port side. I don't have an autopilot yet so I think I'd have to move my bracket to the other side where I have my ducers mounted, for the cables to reach for my human auto pilotLOL.

So another words yo have 3 left?

How or what did you do to make the hole that low on the transom water proof. I see now you have a wash down so your in line with the scuppers. I have the excact same swim platform. Did you mount the kicker in the middle so you don't get the lean to one side? How do you steer the boat then, I don't know of any arms that work vertical??

Yea that is a great price and the best of the best!! I'm not looking for that elaborate of a machine, I have no place for a second handle, that it would be easy to operate. To buy this and strip it from the controller would be senseless. When there's someone looking for such an outfit. great price guys!! Your getting a lot of bang for your buck here!!

When you say remote controls, what do the remotes control? The trim. What type of start up is it, meaning pull start or does it have a starter on it, any idea how many hrs are on the motor. As much as it goes against my grain I have to admit they build excellent motors, even the overhead valve motors made in the states, aren't as good as those oriental motors. All my uncles and my brother was in buisnes for themselves and they all tried the US. Made motors, side by side they all ended up with the Honda's. How does the motor work?. One more question how much does it weigh, I run my Evinrude off my swim platform. I doubled up on all the brackets, I can walk around on it as I do and its pretty damn stable. I made a swim platform bracket like the Adventure marine platform bracket. I was pleased with the outcome!! I'm also going to have my auxiliary steer arm EZ steer for steering. Does the motor have the tiller arm on it yet!! Sorry for all the questions but I'm very interested. I still have to remember it's 11 years old. PAP!!

That's exactly what I did. I put the back light for the deck upside down lights the back up plus the rods in the holders also. On each side shining on my boards that I put that DOT reflective tape and 2 foreward for driving lights, 2 million candle power. Good luck on your light prodject!! Send som pics.

Can you still buy these lures? I hear the Erie guys love em, just I thought there was pissing match between manufactuers

I put 2 4"X 4" led lights on my bar that shines down into the back its like day time. I used lights from tractor supply basically they are outdoor lights for farm eguipment, so they will take the punishment of the lake condition. I don't have any pics but the work sweet and hardly draw any juice from the batteries. I also added driving lights, all are on a differant switch, those lights are like 4 wheel off road lights. Again I don't have any pics. Sorry. Basically the same ordeal as the above poster.

That's just it BoB, it's not that simple on mine, I have to unbolt my P/S bracket, which who ever thought of that set up should have to do it twice a day everyday. Then you need to take a part of the floor up remove the water hose from the P/S cooler, now stand on you head to reach the drain. This year I'm going to put a fitting in the block which accepts a 3/8 OD, hose and I'm going to put a clamp on there and the valve in the end of the hose that I can reach from the port side, to eliminate have to go through all this. I thought I always wanted a I/O but I'm pretty convinced there will be at least 350hp behind me whether it 1 or 2 power plants, should I ever have the chance in this lifetime?? We are never satisfied all I ever had as a younger lad was outboards, very limited problems, since my ego I'm the man, I need to hear that brute HP and the male enhanced sound of V8 power, my boat has more miles on the trailer than the water since I made this decision!!! Had I known that the 4 stroke world was going to evolve into that great machines they are, I would have waited it out. But after Mother Nature had me sitting at the dock more than fishing my dreams of big waters for eyes and big silvers. It doesn't take much to please me, I'm not made of money and I certainly respect those that are more fortunate than I to have all the bells and whistles. With the money I have in tackle, spoons, sonars you name it, I could go on a charter every other week for the whole season. Maybe even more??

Yea, guys I didn't really know what to do about this, should I say something, should I just keep it to myself, not to be a prick, but I took some heat on subjects such as. I know people have used this theory for years, and I get if you still continue going this rout. I have a 18ft run about that I take the kids tubing or skiing, it has a 3.0 in it 2 drain plugs and your done, honestly guys I thought this was a bullet proof way to rid the cooling system of water at those hard to get at areas. I used to just drain the whole system and blow all the water out. It's been since I joined this site and most guys were using this methood. I'm going back to the old school ways.

Thanks fishtails, My dad always said an education in life always comes with a price tag. Boy was he ever correct. . Before I tested my pink icicle after I tested the icicle

I agree Jim, I have my beagle running around the kids, every year we winterize our oun trailers, and never had issues with the pink. The water in the campground is so chlorinated you can't even make a good pot of coffee in the morning. We bring water or buy at Wally World when we stock up on goodies. Meanwhile rebuilding my motor took a lot of my time up. I need to fix a cannon mag 20, make plates up to mount my rod tree I bought off reeldeal, this winter and like I said my one rigger is much slower than the other, so we will see once we get inside this bad girl. I hope it's pretty straight foreword.

That's a pretty good price. I wonder if that would push my 22ft cuddy has 350 merc in it. I'm currently using a 15hp Evinrude 2 stroker. We troll around 2.3-2.5 in 2-3 footers, then fire up the big guy.

You must be able to drain your motor better than I, I thought this was a sure fire way to rid the water i can't get to with out pulling the whole side apart on my starboard side, the power steering cooler hose that run to the lower unit pump and my water pump hose, I drained the water pump?? I'm going to put a fitting in the block and run a 3/8 hose and a valve in the end of my hose and blow the water out of my power steering cooler and pull my water pump hose, and just drain the block anymore. The reasons they don't recommend putting it in the block is for reasons such as mine. Then their not at fault!!!
