Hammerin' 'em

Shocked at the blue. Ive never had luck on anything blue.

Holydiver the only time I check it to my GPS is my first trip out in the spring. Go in shallow as u can to get out of strong currents set the fh down to about 5 feet and make sure it matches ur gps. I've never had to recalibrate mine.

I am no professional by any means but I very rarely ever got skunked and haven't been skunked since I got a fish hawk. My best advice to u is if u have to change plugs every 20 hrs then do it. I have a 1979 75 stinger it is loud! I've never had an issue with it interfering with the fh tho. Try changing the location of the fh that would probably help. I was out this past Sunday and last Sunday and I had to do a surface speed of 5.5-6.2 going west to get my ball speed at 2.6-3.1 heading east surface speed was 1.9-2.2 for down speed to get 2.8-3.4 slowest I could get the boat. As for leads on my riggers I run about 35-40' back then put the line to my rigger. For my dipsey I run 10foot of lead then hook on my dipsey then another lead to lure 8-10' of fluorocarbon. Lead core I run a 15' fluorocarbon lead.

Thanks guys for the info. I did see the danger marine videos very informative. I found a guy out of port bay that will do the seals pump and impeller. Rather leave the motor work to the pros.

Looking for a trustworthy reliable person to do seals on my 1979 75hp stinger. Had a guy lined up from the fall said he'd do it in the spring. I called him in February he said to call back the end of March. Been trying to reach him now for 3 weeks with no luck. Most marina's won't touch it bc it's too old they say. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thought of doing it myself just don't know if I have the right tools. Any input on doing it myself would be great also. Thanks!
