Dick's right with checking other things out, my case was I had real bad outer edge wear, I was told bent axle, this & that, so we started measuring around and found that the axle was an 11/2 inches across the corner. Turned out my uncle who also has a lot of trailer experience found the problem turned out the bushings in the springs dry rotted and fell out. 4 new bushings and the same tires are on 3 years later.

Happy Birthday Hank!! With lots more healthy ones to come PAP.

If you have a depth probe and a good gps. with a very detailed map chip, then why is so important to have a top of the line fish finder. As long as it has 4000 watts of power and a 50/200 transducer, I know people like color these days, but you can buy a very powerful grey scale with 480/480 pixel screen Humming bird in the $425.00 range and if you don't have a probe, which in my opinion is more important than a high end finder you'd have a nice amount to put towards a probe. Maybe I'm all wet with my theory?

It's also a method that the Linder boys showed in a lot of their programs, and it's used a lot on smaller boats (14-16ft) aluminum boats with 9-15hp, so throwing a trolling bag out would with one spin you around in circles and just about flip you over and with 2 to straiten things out would stall you. Even with the smallest bags, so back troll into the current on a river works very well. I had a 18ft. center console with 2 live wells in the back, Dad and I would fill the live wells and back troll the black for walleyes, DYNOMITE!!!!!

Thanks ERABBIT, as I opened up the post and read it, I was just about to come unglued!! Who's complaining? all I said is "it hurt" just like the price of gas, we all still drive around. $70 buys a good steak dinner or a gallon of maple syrup, or a dealerships oil change..... or....a whole year's worth of fishing.... sounds fairly cheap if you look at it that way. PA. non-res. $63.00 (?) but some folks thought differently non-res fishing season 40,122=$2,808,540...non-res.7-day 48,413=$726,195...which they claim is down from previous years and lowering the price would be an act to try to boost the economy. Another great source of income is the salmon river which generated $3million in 90 days mostly by out of staters. When you have $500.00 in fishing gear to catch a half dead fish what's another $70 to be legal and go about your business and have fun. My dad once told me ANY word ending in "ING" is going to cost you $$$$$.

x2 PAP.

Hey, that's great us out of "staters" get a break, it hurt when it went to $70.00. That's another 5 gallons of gas. One more trip out to Stony!!

your LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should come out of your brain freeze icehut and warm up a little,I have a 30 year old 22ft boat that has power assist steering that is as tight as the day it was made, with only 440hrs on it how could it possibly have any play in it. If you ever get the chance to drive a boat that doesn't have a million miles in reverse on it you might think differently.

I second that, lineman49 their isn't much to say about the Ejunk 7 all the hype about how Lowrance was going to have a fish finder gps that would be affordable to the weekend fisherman was exactly that HYPE, if you can find one person that can honestly say "I never had any problem with mine I'd like to meet you". Tim turned me on to Garmin and from what I read they got it going on, and the price is with in reason. JMO.

Well said SK, When I used to complain, "Dad there aint no fish here, if there is they got lock jaw", that's when he told me, "If we catch fish all the time every time it would be called catching not fishing"
