Nice job on the reports Nick, I too enjoyed fishing with you all week.

My last boat was a 1993 Starcraft Islander 191v. I also had problems getting speed down, and the throttle lever was very difficult to adjust "Just Right". I installed a trolling plate on the outdrive and that helped out alot especially trolling for walleye. I ordered a Hydro Troll trolling plate from cabelas. It had shear pins so that if you forgot to bring it up after trolling, the prop thrust from coming up on plane wouldn't break anything. I don't see that particular plate on cabelas web site any more, but they still have the shear pins. I would imagine someone still makes that one. I never did get the throttle lever loostened up before I moved to a biger boat with different problems. Good luck, the Islander was a great overall boat though.

Next time out on the water and the boat starts to wander, send someone up front as far as they can go. See if the wander decreases. Moving weight forward typically corrects for yaw. It sounds funny, but I added 200lbs of weight to the bow of my 25ft Wellcraft and "most" of the yaw went away. It rides a little nicer now too. It's worth a shot.

Not sure where you are located, but Wes at the Slippery Sinker in Olcott has one. I almost bought it. I had to send mine in for service but was lucky enough to borrow a friends spare for a few weeks. If its still there, he wanted $169.99. Which is cheaper than buying direct from Moor.

I think that I have one. I'll have to dig around a little. Send me a PM.

The part number was not on their web site. I had to call and talk to someone at Fish 307. 1-800-347-4307

Ray, I bought 2 earlier this spring from Fish 307. They were about $8.00 each if I remember correctly. They shipped them, and I had them in a couple of days.
