the beam only gets one side farther away from the other side. it doesn't get your divers farther apart. the best way to keep them apart is to do as I said in another post. don't start reeling the fish in until the rod is brought to the middle and allow the fish to come over the other lines then reel the fish in. -

there is a lot more to running more than one per side. set on 3 I let the front rod out first to the desired length. I run the middle rod out 15' less than the front rod then the back rod set on 1 out 15' less than the middle rod. if I get a fish on one of the outside rods I just keep tension on the fish and walk to the middle of the boat and let the fish come over the other rods then start reeling the fish in. it you start reeling early it will get tangled in the other rods. when I let the rod back out I start by letting the diver back out as far over to the other side of the boat as I can get without getting tangles in the lines. I let it out slow. when it gets to 5 feet beyond the rods that will have to go over. like say you bring in the front rod and the middle rod is set at 120'. then I let out 125' then take the rod over the other 2 rods and set it in the holder and check the counter. if you allowed the diver to keep going while you take it over it should be close to 135. sure hope this info helps you be a better diver fishermen. I learnt to use divers by going out with a charter 2 days. I learnt more on that charter than I would have learned in yrs by myself. -

Looking for w.o.t for 1982 sportcraft 25ft
sherman brown replied to SALMONBOY35's topic in This Old Boat
something has got to be wrong. if your turning 4500 to 4800 you are turning the right rpm. does it get up on plane and stay there? what type of speedometer are you going by? if its not a gps then I wouldnt trust it to be right. I am running a 14 1/4x17 pitch on my 21' glass boat and at wot with minimal weight it runs 5000 rpms. I don't run wot that often and don't know what my top speed is. in most cases I run about 3500 on calm water and less when pulling a tube. if your going by the boat speedometer it could be bad. it works off water pressure being forced into the pitot tube and up the hose to the speedometer. they some times get a leak and it doesn't work right. -
to each there own. I like the med/light rods its just easier to see something is wrong. pick up a small fish or some trash and the rod bends back just far enough so you know it has to be checked. but you are not alone in using a heavier rod for divers.

yeah it doesn't matter your age. nobody should go out there without a working radio. he should get a meddle just for going fishing at that age. -

Sold / Closed WTB Marine VHF Radio

I done gave my old radio away on another forum. he was looking for cheep rod holders. I had a few of my old holders so I gave them to him. he's trying to get ready for erie. so I asked him if he needed a old radio. I ended up giving the holders and radio to him just to help him out. the old radio worked good. the only reason I was giving it away was I upgraded to a radio with built in gps. -
Sold / Closed WTB Marine VHF Radio

just remember the antenna is the heart of the system. if you get a good radio with and a cheap antenna you will be doing an injustice to yourself. your bettor off getting a cheaper radio and getting something better in the antenna. I had a cheap radio and cheap make do antenna. it worked ok for me until I upgraded the antenna. I kept reading and hearing that the antenna was the most important part. so I upgraded the antenna and im glad I did. my cheap radio with the new upgrade antenna was wonderful. but I did upgrade my radio with one that has gps. but the cheap radio was working great with the new antenna. my first recommended antenna is the Shakespeare 5225 xt. it cost about 125.00 on ebay. -

have you tried the traxstech retrievers yet? they are the best out there. they work just like the others but have much better rollers that retrieves the ball. they might cause the same problem as the others but you need to try them before you give up and say there's nothing you can do.

unless you moved the distributor I wouldnt think its off by much. but if the electrical ignition was installed recently it could be off it isn't a big job to get the timing right. I would guess its in the carb. was the air screws adjusted with the motor running? if not its easy to get close. the way I always set mine back when I was drag racing. turn the screws all the way in, now turn then out 1 1/2 turns, go by the tach with the motor warmed up and running. and turn them out 1/2 turn each and see if the rpm goes up. continue this until you get max rpm's. then turn them back in 1 turn. this will get you very close. the high octane gas doesn't really help unless the motor knocks. but if you want gas without alcohol then it isn't going to hurt anything. another thing that might help. go to a auto parts and ask if they have a hotter plug that replaces the plugs you have now.
