Boat Problems

Good luck and hopefully the Sea foam will dissolve any gum in the motor.

Hopefully that's all that's wrong with it. If not then you can alway check the spark plugs for a spark to see if they are firing. That's easy to do. Just take them out of the spark plug hole and hold them up against some metal on the engine to ground them. Do that with something that can insulate your hand so you don't get shocked. Then have someone turn the motor over a few times and check to see that the spark plug is giving you sparks. Do that with each cylinder and that should ensure that each spark plug is firing ok.

It's either no spark or no fuel. If you have sparks and your getting fuel to the cylinder then it should be ok.

The thermocline on those pits runs around 18 to 20ft deep in the summer time.

So look for the fish to be deep around 18 to 20 ft deep this time of the years. Some crappie will suspend down around 12 to 15 ft out away from the edges. You should be able to troll some crank baits in at 12ft and find some suspended crappie this time of the year.

I found bass at 18 ft depths on Bluegrass Last summer.

Thanks Moose , I appreciate the feedback. I'll let you know how everything turns out. Im going to mess with it tomorrow: putting in a new fuel line assembly and dumping the sea foam. Just put in new plugs. Hopefully I'll be fishing by sunday!
