LOL, like posted above I thought mother nature had it in for me. So I said I'm not making any plans ahead of time or mentioning I'm going north, so she doesn't have any time to brew up a blow for 3 days straight. That doesn't work either. My uncle goes up and tells me they had beautiful weather all the time. I go up to be greeted by 4fters out of the North. Hmm, watching our local weather and making plans from that doesn't work either because once you get beyond Syracuse it's a whole different world!!!. I can't use my luck either, because if it weren't bad luck I wouldn't have any. (That's not true) but it sounds good. At least I'm not alone.

Holy F'un fishing 305 gallons thats over a $Grand to cap her off . Thats way out of my budget!! But getting back to Fishnut's question, I have a 22ft cuddy and I used a 20" shaft 15hp Evinrude 2 stroke and that worked flawlessly for me. I mounted it to my swim platform using a bracket I made from the numbers given by Adventure Marine Brackets. I added 2 more support brackets from another boat I had bought for the motor and lower unit. Since last year my older Evinrude crapped out on me. I purchased a 2014 15hp 4 stroke electric start Merc. So I knew it had a pretty good charge rate for my batteries. I haven't used it yet to actually see how well or not so well it performs on the job. All I know is its so quiet I don't know if it's running or not. I do know that the prop is much bigger than the Evinrude. So I'm hoping it's much better than my old Evinrude. Which I have no doubt it will be. In 4 weeks I will have the merc. paid off just in fuel costs for a weeks worth of fishing using the kicker vs the main. You won't be sorry you did put a kicker on.. At first getting all the goodies together you might second guess yourself but at the end of the day you still have 3/4 tank of fuel on the main and a gallon left in the 3 gallon can you will be very satisfied!!!. Just some food for thought.

It seems like everything comes together at 2800 rpm 23-25 mph trimed to the best it can be with just a slight bob at the bow. My Sea Ray had a 305 and I put a 350 in it and geared the lower unit to the hp and torque curve of what the cam and other goodies that come into play. I was rather pleased with the fuel to mileage I was getting, until the trolling came into play. That blew me away as to how much the old girl really took a liking to OPEC. So I made a decision to add a kicker and again I was blown away that I could troll for 8hrs on 3 gallons of fuel. So now the V8 gets used for to and fro, and I can go for days with out refueling. The only cost for me to adding a kicker was the Steer arm and the kicker straps to attach the arm. I made my I/O bracket, the quick disconnect is simple a air hose fitting. I’ve never looked back since I’ve gone to a kicker. I know I’m a little off direct subject, but I beat the $500.00 costs to a weeks worth of fishing. PAP.

Hang in there I bought a pile of scorpion spoons, they should be in the mailbox any day now!!!Pap.

The static electric comes from the plug wire not the plugs, if your spark plug wire is actually wire instead of the carbon type which I doubt a company would do this knowing the finicky electronics that are on board any more are very sensitive to such. The voltage spikes are when your unit is sending over 15.9 volts to the battery for some odd reason. The units have a protective mode in them and that is to shut down before unit is messed up from high voltage. Maybe the voltage is unregulated to a dangerous to electronics but not to a battery, which can handle 16 volts for a short time before becoming a (cooked) battery. Hope this helps.??

If you go out to the last red & green bouy in BRB, work your way over towards the north shore head towards the Perch River gotta stay away from shore pretty good and stay away from the mud flat soon you'll see a Weeping Willow tree from the tree to the bridge you should hammer the snot out of them if it's still the way it used to be. No one ventures up there got to watch your depth in that area up to the tree then just stay in the channel. If not that adventurous, stay in muskellounge bay lots of pick handles other area has trophy size pike.
