Hydro Tec, box up the dressed powerhead, ship to them, they can dyno test it after rebuild and have it ready to install, can also modify with phase kit for more hp.

Good luck, Nelson

Good to hear you are still gettin' out to fish.

Hey Mike!
When I was up there last year there were security people walking around at night.
Ya might call up there and see if they still do that.
Have a good, safe, fun trip.
Good to bring yer valuables inside at night tho,(ya never know).

I used to race outboard runabouts and hydros,(ex national champion, world record holder and high points champion). After one of the drivers died from drowning we were required to have a saftey lanyard with a break-away section so if the boat took you down you could could hopefully get back up to the...

NelsonG

I'm very sorry to hear of the accident, my condolences.
Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Let's try to be careful,

NelsonG

Thanks for the tips!
I will look into those.
Any other ideas?
Thanks alot,
Nelson

I am looking for an RV park that is wife and dog friendly and has a safe and easily accessable beach area. (Gotta have somethin' for the wife to do while I go fishin'). A good launch ramp with room for motorhomes to turn and launch or tractor launching would be ok. Full hook ups for the motorhome an...

NelsonG

Hey Mike,
Give me a call at the shop. I have a pretty good selection of the popular colors.

Kenji, If you have a brass, or lead hammer, you can reinstall the nut untill it is flush with the end of the shaft threads. Then as you are putting upwards pressure on the wheel by pulling on it , or pushing up with your knees, give it a good straight hit on the end of the shaft. If you have a buddy...

NelsonG

Good story!
Congrats on the boat.
Nice clear pictures, What camera do you use?
I always enjoy your stories and pictures.
Nice to see families doin' the quality time thing!
You just can't beat a day on the water,

I think w-d 40 containing fish oil is a rumor. I believe it is a petroleum product.
I spray my hooks and lead with Bang to protect them from oxidation and rust. Makes yer box smell good!
just another idea,
Nelson

NelsonG

Hey Sam!
I had to run into town to take care of a few things this morning.
Other times I have been fishing a bit.
trying to get out once in a while to make up for all the fishing I've been missing the last 15 years.
Safest to call first!
Hope you are doin' well, see you soon,
Nelson

I have heard that the larval stage of these things are very tiny and can survive out of water for a few days, maybe longer if wet and stuck in trailer bunk carpets. Hey Joe W, if you pass thru Prunedale on your way to Justo, stop by my outboard shop and check out the bass tackle department! or just ...

NelsonG

Hey Mike,
Happy New Year!
I also had heard about the Mussels, but don't know if the lake is closed. Have you heard anything about a closure?
Waitin' for good fish reports,
Nelson
P.S. I have more rod, reels, and baits in stock at the shop now!

NelsonG

Way to go Tom and Sam!
Congratulations on yer win!

NelsonG

Mike,
I don't quite remember, but I think those use a long vane low pressure high volume pump.

NelsonG

Mike,
The exact replacement gearcase was no longer available for Mark P.'s motor.
Mercury provided me with a superseded Torquemaster style gearcase with nose and conventionaly located water pickups. I think it also is a 1.75:1 gear ratio.

Call Jerry at Buck's Outboard. 916-428-3917
He may have some vintage parts, or his buddy George may have what you need.
They have both been around the old Mercs for quite a while.
Good luck,
Nelson

NelsonG

Are ya sposed' ta leave it on the board or take it off?
ROTFLMO also!
You guys are just too much! , really enjoy the entertainment!

Constant alarm is normaly due to an overheat condition. If at idle speeds, it may have a weak impeller or thermostats may be stuck or blocked. You should look into the cooling system, to positively eliminate the chance of overheating and powerhead damage. With your oil tank low, you will need to als...

Welcome to the forum. I am using the 702X with a Stradic 2500 and would recommend it! It does have a bit more backbone to it and is designed for a little bigger bait. I also have a G.L. ,but choose to use the Lami.(more power). Give a few models a try if possible. Set first ask questions later. Take...

NelsonG

The first thing I think you should do is to take it to a Shop that can check the motors' output to make sure that all adjustments and parameters are correct. Once you know that it is running it's best then you can work on the set up. Do not expect all props of the same diameter and pitch, even by th...

NelsonG

Hey Mike . Glad you spoke up,it was irritating me, to hear RUMORS like that, knowing that you and Juan would not cheat for a win. For you guys who don't know these two, they really know their stuff out on these waters. They have put in alot of time on the Delta and have learned what it takes. I was ...

NelsonG

I'm thinking about getting a GPS to help me from getting lost in the Delta.(afraid to go around too many corners)
Which seems to be the most popular model, whether hand held or Finder type?
I really need something user friendly.
What have you guys been happy with?
Thanks, Nelson

NelsonG

I have been using 30 lb. Power pro with no leader for heavy cover and skipping,
20 lb. Powerpro with a short fluoro. leader. for my drop shot rod.
That has eliminated 99% of my line twist problems that were regular!
Nelson

NelsonG

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the report!
Glad I could help.
Hope I can get out there and stick a few!

If your'e looking for lead to melt, check the local tire and wheel shops. They usually throw the used weights into 5 gal. buckets, and if you buy tires from the place they sometimes will give it away. 100 lbs. a bucket? Plumbing shops also sometimes have scrap. Then theres also metal scrap yards. Ne...

I haven't been fishing much in the last ten years, so now it's time to do it again.( I even started selling tackle at my outboard shop now) I've been to Russo's twice now and thought it was a pretty neat set up. I'll be back! Also went to KVC up at Clear Lake, that was also great. I haven't been to ...

NelsonG

Hello All,
New to the board here.
I enjoy reading the various posts of information, tips and tactics.
Hope to see some of you out on the water!

I once had a customer from the Lake San Antonio area that had an Allison that would "only go 96 mph", he came to me complaining that it wasn't running properly. When I was done with it he said it would run 104! I did not offer to test drive it for him! I haven't seen him in a while, could ...
