Wow! I wanna thank you all I have really learned a lot about crabbing! Now I should spend a week out there crabbing and learning to ropes first hand... I could trade week showing someone how to grow corn... Who's up first? Single file please...

I was going to refrain from this thread, but I too want to say thanks for the map. EXCELLENT WORK! Ditto the idea for wannabees! What a great way to help others join in the fun! I hope that doesn't bog the system down too much.... How about a place for them(or us) to sign up to be contacted...

I like the ball on the tractor idea... I have a Kubota that has a ball mounted on my 3 pt hitch. I use it extensively. The tractor has more than enough power and has a ultra tight turning ability. The ball is offset back about 4 inches and I can even "jacknife" the trailer with no ill effects to...

OK...OK... Adding TyBoo and Rigby to my list... Whos got the ugliest crab pic? Does the ugliest crab taste the best? Or do really good crustys all come from Maine? Next question... Who's house we meeting at for dinner? :D Those are great pics all, and now I need a recipe. Whaddya all call a...

Now we're talkin' Keep them coming!

Note to self: Party with Fishtales at least once before you die!

A question I posed to a C Dory customer of ours just yesterday... Why doesn't anyone ever post pictures of crabs, lobsters, or shellfish? While I consider myself to be an avid (notice I didn't say accomplished) fisherman, I seldom eat what I catch. Indiana has mostly a "catch and release"...

Typically, the engine companies like to prop the engines to run towards the high end with a "light load". This will tend to make it run low-middle with a heavy load. If you prop the boat to run too low at W.O.T. then you'll be running the engine overloaded, even at mid throttle settings. This...

Keep in touch on this one... Let us know how you make out... You might also give this website a try: http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi There is an Evinrude forum there, and several top notch techs that post. Good Luck!

I can help with this... I(my company) shrink wrap a couple hundred boats every fall. The main advantage is UV protection and protection from moisture(weather). Since your covers are not used the wrap also preserves your canvas(sunbrella) materials. The shrink wrap, if done properly will vent...

Do you have the only 90 Etec in your area? Are the others having problems? If they don't need a higher temp T-stat, then you don't either. Assuming the water temp they are in is close to what you are in. Remember; fuel and oil are separate on this engine, save a very minor amount of oil...

That's good. You may want to remove the steering cable from the engine and clean out the tube.(shotgun brush run through it with solvent works best) Make sure you get the cable ram end clean also. Next fully extend the cable end to regrease the ram end. Reassemble the cable to the engine, be...

I am a brand new C Dory dealer... I don't have one rigged with an Etec yet. My first 22 cruiser will have a 90 Etec though. The motor is already here, the boat should be by Nov 1st...

Sounds like you're on the right track to get it fixed... Keep talking to BRP! When you stop contacting them, they assume you got it taken care of! Water temp is not the issue. The thermostat keeps the water temp constant, no matter what the coolant(water) temp. It's the sole purpose of having a...

I hate to bear bad news, but.... The only job of your steering is to steer. If the cable is binding, then it is bad... even if you can free it up... Would you continue to run an oil pump that worked "most" of the time? As a "better" repair shop would say... prevent it from breaking by...

What engine is Dusty running? A: Evinrude claims it's oil to be rated down to 32 degree F Are you getting info directly from Evinrude? Or from your dealer? B: Engine temp has a direct bearing on running performance, especially at low speeds. Sound like the temp issue resolved some of your...

KUDOS! go out to Da Nag! Note to self... Party with Da Nag at least once before you die... You DA MAN !

( My two cents ) I'd be happy fishing a mudpuddle from a soggy log if I could do it with friends and family... I hope some CCs show up to our CD rendevous along with some ACBs and even a few Bayliners! It's the people you spend time with that's important! ( soapbox aside... for now )

Has to be true... Nothing "made-up" can be that funny!

I have seen many engines come and go over the years. Only one stands out in my mind as truly being superior to the rest. Evinrude's E-Tec. Reliability has been excellent, and no maintenance for 3 years is a huge plus. Even winterization can be done if 5 minutes right at the ramp. Since weight...
