Thanks going to drain all fuel out of boat and add dry gas and switch to only non ethanol after doing some online research on effects of ethanol and just how fast it absorbs water .Then clean injectors and throttle body all ready upgraded fuel line and bulb as well and installed water separator /filter unit.O and apparently i need to ck plugs to make sure they are indexed properly .

help with etec outboard Bought a used boat last fall and love it only issue is my 2007 115 etec has a cold start issue runs perfect most of the time but on a cold start it takes 3 to 5 tries before it will stay running it just starts and stalls when warmed up it starts and runs fine.Have checked online and there is a lot of talk of this issue but no real answers to it that i can find .Batterys and fuel system all good if anybody has dealt with this issue or is a evenrude tech any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

PM ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK YOU THROUGH A FEW THINGS TO CK I HAVE HAD OUTBOARDS ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE BEEN A MASTER TOYOTA TECH FOR 30YEARS THE MOTOR SHOULD START EVEN WITH A CRACKED BLOCK !
-
i love my ICOM HAND HELD 5 WATT FLOATS AND WATER PROOF UNDER 200 BUCKS CK THEM OUT AND ORDER ONLINE

what leads him to think the block is cracked my past experience with dealers is most of there techs really are not that good not saying that about them all but for the most part it seems to be the case .does he have any proof to back up diag !

if boat is glass use a glass putty like core bond to fill if aluminum use a liquid steal two part epoxy then lightly sand and clean with acetone then use roll on bed liner like rhino liner .You can buy it at like vip or online and pick the color you want it works great i refinished the hole top deck of a 30 ft boat this way that had holes and gell coat cracks every were and came out very nice.

Hard baits with rattles as well

You need higher pitched prop and there is a small tab above prop that can be turned to adjust some steering torque you will need to adjust and test and readjust until you get desired results .Also in the end you may need to install adjustable trim tabs to fully resolve issue as i did on a deep v boat that had the same issue .GOOD LUCK DEALERS SUCK !

stay away from dream weaver very weak main line due to crimps holding flys in place damage mainline and can break by hand my diabolical meat rigs look very well built .

I just use a foot of 20 lb mono and quick release that cannot fall off do not use a pinch pad release or you will loose your torpedo .

just park in henderson public launch area it says no overnight parking but nobody has ever bothered me about it .

Dont forget lake o special fishing regs
-
I dont feel i spook many fish with a small diameter braid as a main line then small swivel and a 8 ft leader then a duel lock snap at the spoon .But if you want do a wined on floro leader of what ever length you want but you still need a good swivel about 8 feet in front of spoon for line twist if swivel is to far away it will affect spoon action.

I tried a budys copper rig and caught a king but did not like it at all like fishing with leadcore just no fun torpedos run deep with next to no resistance and then you can remove and fight the fish as well as the are directional .I realize a lot of guys use copper but not for everybody !GOOD LUCK AND TIGHT LINES

I really like torpedo divers but a tadpole might be a better choice behind a board .

I would strongly suggest trim tabs that are adjustable well under way you will find them very helpful due to changing weight loads and sea conditions that you will have and help with roll due to a v hull with a torque steer issue that you have .
