I have not used this product. Are you doing it for more speed? If so, a smooth/slick surface can create a vaccum between the bottom of your boat and the water and actually slow you down.

I saw it at the Cincinnati Boat Show this year and I was very impressed with it. I never knew Larson made fishing boats. I read their brochure cover to cover and it looks like a very nice boat....

I have a Humminbird 596HD-DI and I was having the same problem. I was able to fix it. My boat is aluminum and one day while fooling around in the garage I found that if touched the trolling motor and...

If not a seal, make sure that the system was bled correctly and that there is no air in it.

I fished Cave Run this past Sunday and caught one decent large mouth in the lake off of a stump and another up the river (Bangor Ramp) off of a rock cliff. Both came from around 10 feet of water. It...

We stay in the Econolodge in Lebanan, TN. It is cheap, clean and actually not bad. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and it is within about a 15-20 minute drive from a ramp up by the...

I found it here.

I would suggest trying this place. They have always been able to get me parts for my 1999 Minn Kota Maxxum 50SC. See the link below.

I never asked about the hook. I guess that was dumb of me. They feel sharp and look like a quality hook, but I am not certain of the brand. The Buzzbaits have red hooks. I got a chance th throw them...

Yes, you can bend it and tune it how you want it to be tuned. It isn't a snap back frame like the terminator lures. I asked them what the benefit was and they said that it gave more vibration than...

For all of you spinnerbait and buzzbait lovers out there, I just ordered 3 new buzzbaits and 5 new spinnerbaits from Red River Bait Co on line and they are awesome! They use a tunable titanium wire...

On my little 6hp, that spot is actually out of the water. There is a mixture of water and exhaust that comes out. It isn't as convenient as a pee hole, but if you stick your head over the transom,...

I am not certain about the 70hp, but I have a 1975 Evinrude (same as Johnson) 6hp outboard and it does not have a pee hole. The water comes out of the mid section on the back just above the lower...

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice. Both Humminbird and Lowrance have new units that are only down imaging and not side imaging and they are set at a reasonable price. I have always had Lowrance, but it looks...

Has anybody used one of the new DI (down imaging) units from Humminbird or Lowrance? I am thinking about buying one and interested in a review. They are so new that I can't find any reviews. Thanks...

I am from Ohio and fish the Old Hickory Steam Plant every winter. There is a small ramp just above the plant and one below the plan about 2 miles down river.

To get to the small ramp just above...

I bought an 12V electric oil pump from Bass Pro and it works great! See the link below.

These are both great ideas, but if you use either king board or just a plastic cutting board instead of plywood, it will last forever. We made a rod locker organizer for a Nitro with this method and...

I used Herculiner on my wheel wells and is has done a remarkable job. I am contemplating painting the whole trailer with it. Just grind off all of the rust, treat it with a rust converter, which you...

Scrap the iboat.com idea. It doesn't look like they make one for your model. All I could find for your model was a semi custom cover and that is always iffy. Mine was truly a custom fit cover. Good...

Look at iboats.com. They sell custom covers in a variety of fabrics and colors for a ton of different boats at a very reasonable price. I got a custom made cover for my skeeter for under $300 and the...

I've been researching your problem on the internet and have found numerous postings from you on several sites. It sounds like you have had the most response from the Bass Boat Central board. I have a...

One More Cast,

It looks like you do very nice work. I have a Skeeter SX 17 and I am looking to have carpet replaced in the not so distant future. This is not a common boat, as it is aluminum and...

I read recently that Saugers were being caught right now below the Dam. I don't know if this is true or not, but it is what I read on the Old Hickory Lake web page.

Fished Old Hickory Steamplant Saturday 1/23/10. Lake was high and muddy and lot's of floating debris. The water in the discharge was cloudy, but not muddy like the rest of the lake. Temps were 48 in...

By the way, white curly tail grubs/jigs work great for the Skipjack and White Bass. We tie them on in a series of three about a foot apart from each other. Wal-Mart sells a curly tail jig that is a...

I fish the Gallatin Steam Plant several times every winter. It is generally good for Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Skipjack and Striper. I plan on fishing it the weekend of 1/22. If you go before...

You should be able to convert that engine with a tiller directly from Mercury. Ask a dealer about it, but I bet it is doable.

Will the Kingston Steam Plant be fishable this winter?

Is this engine and EFI or is it carburated? If it is an EFI, it doesn't have a choke. I run Yamahas, but even my carburated yamaha did not have a choke. It had a fuel atomizer that atomized the fuel...

I don't think you can. The mounting brackets are totally different as are the heads of the units. The foot controlled units have gears in the head to steer it.

Last year I had my truck cleaned out at the ramp just below Fort Loudoun Dam. It's just rediculous that nothing is safe anymore. I feel your pain!

I would suggest checking with www.iboats.com. They make custom covers for most boats and at a great price. I paid a little under $300 and the cover is a custom cover for my skeeter. All of the...

I just did min a month ago and used the advice of a dealer. Go to Wal-Mart and get a product called Purple Power. You will find it in the automotive section. Spray this on your carpet and then use a...

I have a Skeeter SX 17. This is an aluminum boat that G3 made for Skeeter in 1999 and 2000. This boat is identical to the G3 Eagle 175. It has been a great boat and I have had it on all of the big...

How fast does it go?

I would suggest that you hit the steam plant on the upper end of Old Hickory. It is great in the winter for a variety of fish. Good luck!

We fished Gallatin Steam Plant this past weekend. We caught no stripers and did not see any being caught. We did have a blast catching the skipjack and white bass. Between my buddy and I, we caught...

I am not a mechanic, however I have replaced impellers in Yamaha, Evinrude, Force and Mercury and they were all basically the same. Each one has its own little trick, but they were all easy. The...

Thanks!

With this cold snap, is there any activity at the Gallatin Steam Plant? Does anybody know what the water temps are like on Old Hickory Lake right now?

Garmin makes good equipment, but I am partial to Lowrance for marine applications. If you want a hand held unit, you may want to consider a Lowrance Ifinder H2O. This is a nice unit and works well...

It sounds like a prop issue to me.

Anybody have a Striper report for these two steam plants? Is the bait easy to find? Thanks for your help!

I'm looking to fish the Gallatin TN Steam Plant March 7th, 8th and 9th. Does anybody have a report about the fishing here this winter? I will be fishing for Striper and Bass. Are the Skipjack...

The address and phone number for the Comfort inn is:
354 Sumner Hall Dr. Gallatin, TN 37066, 615-230-8300.

If you don't mind a hotel, the Comfort Inn in Gallatin, TN is good and only a couple of minutes fron the ramp at Flippers off of Odems Bend Road. Bob Pitel in the owner and he will give you a good...

My buddy was there last week for 5 days. He said the fishing was tough, but they did catch a few. The bait that was producing the best was a Bandit 300 series crankbait in the yellow spring crawl...

Is anybody catching Stripers below Fort Loudoun or Melton Hill Dams yet?
