I used a 84-15hp Evenrude for years to troll with, I always ran 93 no corn juice, and I only ever used Amsoil 100-1 mix. I had a really old merc. 40-1 and the salesman of Amsoil told me to mix a 5 gallon batch up at 100-1 and run my old club of a motor from Preachers camp to the dam and back if it blew up he'd buy me a BRAND NEW Merc so I did, that's 14 miles, needless to say I still have the motor, even in my 88SPL I ran Amsoil 100-1 never had carbon problems and changed plugs ever couple of years. Plus I run Sea Foam every other tank of fuel. Here's something else, I have a 22' Sea Ray Cuddy, I needed to run way more rpm's to reach trolling speed I think is beyond carbon build up. 1/4-3/8 sometimes half throttle, maybe that's why I never had this problem. I won't know until next year how the 4stroke 15hp will be, but the Sea Foam will be still used.

Take it!!! We discussed the situation via pm. It won't work for me.

Thanks for the info!! I'll have a newer 2007 15hp Merc 4 stroke to bolt on come spring, I firmly believe in Sea Foam I run every other tank of fuel. But will keep the quickclean in mind

I agree 100% with Aaron, these kids nowadays, have no interest in hunting or fishing. When I was a little pisser, we couldn't wait to go out side and play, cowboys & Indians. Had a big tractor tire filled with sand and dump trucks and bulldozers, made roads and towns. Got a little older I got my first BB gun, there wasn't 1 metal can in the garbage can that wasn't riddled full of holes, those older Daisy lever load were accurate, we then started shooting at the black walnuts that hung from the tree. At the ripe old age of 12 I took my hunters safety course, went right to the gun shop and my dad bought my first real deal licence. The fire houses were full of kids then. I took my daughters to the class I don't think there was 10 kids there. Also I trapped and the money I made I bought my first car, was my brothers college buddy. 1966 Mustang 289 4speed needed work so I remember to this day I payed $250.00 and drove it home. When I was trapping up at 4:30 peddled my bike down and back and made the bus at 7:00am. Hell these kids have no idea how much we had to do to make a buck. Now they sit the F'around on their phone and play video games. I saw this starting at my house and my wife and I put the breaks to that!! Now they are into sports at school and I take them to our gun club which I'm a member of and teach them the ways of safety first, with my old single shot. They love fishing, to me that's what matters!!.

I'm very happy for you guys, since they had tournaments on LakeO certain places haven't been the same!! The fishing has gone to $hit and then some!! Theses guys drive around the lake with a wheel barrow full of fish for hrs, parade around holding the biggest fish up in the air, I gotta quit before I get myself in a twist this early. I'm so glad they voted it down, your lake would never be the same!!!!! I know there are laker-haters, but that's a opinion everyone is entitled to their own!!!.

Thank you guys for the helpful info. The man just changed the oil which was still the break in oil, it's only seen water 3 times before he realized he needed a jet for the river. Only reason he sold it was his son wanted it out of the way for his 4 wheeler, I really stepped in $hit with this one!!! Finally I got a break on a purchase!! I will follow your advice guys, all the UTube vids show the bigger hammers, being a 4 stroke I didn't know if like the motor had to be drained. Thanks again guys!!!

WOW that's a brute!! Thank you for putting the dogs on that guy, that would have been a sad story if you wouldn't have recovered that buck!! Congrats on your efforts put forth on finding your buck. I believe your arrow hit something at 20 yards you would of had to pull a foot or better to hit way back there?? You got it and that's what matters!!

Man that is a tank!! Beautifully done!!, this coming week of in the mid 60's to maybe 70* temps sure has the mind in fishing gear!! As we see here!! LOL! Thanks for the pic. So jealous, but envy you folks that live by or near the Great Lakes. May I ask what the weapon of choice was?? Congrats to you Smoke-N-Finn.

What is the waist line size, I know large but wondering if my fat a$$ would fit, usually a XL works, great price.

New to me 2007 Merc.4 Stroke15hp. I didn't receive any paper work and I can't find anything on winterizing a 4 stroke outboard motor, is there any water to be removed, or are they self draining like the old style motors. Thanks for any help. PAP

Sweet man, love the boxes of eyes!!! Great to see the whole family enjoying themselves fishing, Congrats and mostly thanks for sharing with us!! PAP!!!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! Maybe next year, but for now congrats to all, everyone's a winner in my book!! Thanks Iron Duke, it's never a easy thing to put something like this together, let alone so quick. Yes it helps when you have a handful of gentleman/ladies!!

Looking for bandit walleye deep divers and Rapalas tail dancers. Thanks guys!!

Glow plugs would eliminate cold start problems, I'd be concerned with weight mostly, then fuel!!

Everyone has their own opinion!!!

I would make a frame out of pressure treated wood, get 2x4's rip them in half so you have 1-1/2" wide pieces and affix the PVC to your frame. Then add two more across the top to sit on. This is what I did plus I got that 1/2" 4x8 sheet if insulation it has silver paper like material on each side and its fire retardant. Cut the sheet so the pieces fit snug in between your wooden frame and use construction glue to hold the pieces you cut. This will keep the heat off your pvc. And will reduce the noise greatly!! Mine has been in place 4-5 years now. I also attached the same hold downs to keep it in place. Hope all works out for you!!! PAP.
