It has been my experience that most outboards are over propped from the dealer.

I've never written this type of peronal information on a public forum before, but I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs...phone rings, but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife...

I gaff kings all the time unless they are really small and don't reach the legal limit. I will the grab them by the tail to release them. I can tell you, you don't want to try grabbing a big king by hand or you will end up with a hand full of hooks or teeth. Most live bait king rigs entail...

I mounted them where I did because I was worried about the cable getting in the prop. Just wish I had mounted them a liitle further forward. I troll mostly for kig mackerel and wahoo on the downriggers using live baits so I troll pretty slow - 2-3 knots. When I use aritficals I will troll...
