Unbelievably make the boat ride softer. Wish I bought mine sooner. 19gls SeaNymph.

It sounds like your proficient with an outboard if you can break one down. Put the rings in and let her eat. If you still have the same problems you’ll know it’s not the compression that was the issue.

My two cents? I’d focus on the other end first. 90psi in both I think is not bad being equal in both cylinders. If you had 130 in one and 90 in the other than it might be the issue. I’d go after basics if you haven’t. Spark plugs, wires, fuel. Then carbs. Take them off and put a rebuild kit in cleaning etc. put new plugs in, check spark, fresh fuel, good primer bulb. The easy stuff. Reeds too as mentioned but generally shows signs of fuel spitting out of carbs because of lack of vacuum with the crank case pulling fuel in. Others on here might chime in as well. Hope you get her running.

Thanks Shake, yea it’s definitely a job that’s not high on project lists.

Would anyone know a reference of a shop in Roc / Wayne that’s able to do a bottom paint / epoxy on a boat. Seems from what I’m hearing everyone is booked till May-June. Shoot me a pm if you know a place. Thanks.

You could also try hooking behind the dorsal. And by all means make sure you pick him up when done………… Ive seen guys try to leave them out for the next day as a bouy marker. Bad mojo.

Hey Guff, we’ve tried it, does it work? Yea, is it a pain in the butt to set up, monitor, fix , get the freakin thing caught in your motors…….yep.

I remember the ole ballon trick for staying with the school…….

Damn, I’m out…….

2.03. Let’s get this going…..

BBob, I’m not saying you don’t need technology to catch them, but I sure as heck don’t miss lugging my anchors up and down, let the rope out, wind switched, do it all over again…….. back in the day. Today if you caught your limit of perch it’s a great feeling, back in the day I needed three days rest……

You the man!

Bo send me some specs……..

CK, I’ve tried them on the Finger lakes haven’t had much success. Come with smaller than I thought hook set up. And for what it’s worth, they don’t act like a flat fish, they rather spin like a spin glo. still experimenting with them though as they have there place I think.
