  1. try not so much hose pressure on your ear muffs, remember you boat sitting in the water has NO positive water perssure forcing water into the impeller pump, then you can eliminate that causing that trouble then go from there, for sure you got something bad going on....id bet the high hose perssure is causing it, but i am not a marine mechanic but frank is try calling him... calumet marine...708-862-2407

  2. mike the only credit ill take is for launching the boat i was asleep for most of the time, the only thing i did was get the fish in the net, christiana did most of the fish whacking on saturday, on sunday when we put in the dock at my moms, christian insisted and asked me three times for a rod and after all the nagging i gave her one, a few mins later she had this prego sheephead, and yup you guessed she yells, "john get the whacking stick"!!!!

  5. hey i got a boat and to get to try new stuff before anybody else for free and then get to keep it?? one thing dont look a gift horse in the mouth, or if it sounds too good to be true?? man i love this country MIKE, count me in!!!! and i see i am the 1st to chime in!!!

  6. nice vessel, as far as a tow vehicle, get the biggest thing your vallet can manage, especially if your going to tow a long way or alot. i cant see that a F150 or the like would pull that easy without putting alot of stress on the powerplant and the rest of the mechanicial systems, also you may consider the towing package suspention and an additional transmission oil cooler

  7. so here is the senario, i am ready to put the boat back on the trailer and pull it out to go home, but the motor wont trim up. so unless i get it up (the lower unit) i can't pull it up the ramp with out grinding my skeg/prop what can i do without calling a mechanic to come out and lift my lower unit. here is what i think i can do PLEASE let me know if there is i better way, this is just theory as it has not ever happened to me, but if it does i will know what to do. here goes. remove the two rear nutz on the rams and loosten them, (how hard is this to do?? do i need any special tools??) then thru the ram eyes thread some rope and secure the rams from flailing around, then get some big guy is several little kids who are strong enough to pick up the lower unit and rope this up as if it were in the trimmed up position, i also have a transom saver that supports the lower unit while trailering. WILL THIS WORK?? AND WILL TAKING OFF JUST TWO RAM NUTZ WORK?? ok GUYS LETS HEAR YOU THOUGHTS, OPINIONS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS!!!! thx JOHN

  8. Power doesn't smoke speakers, distortion smokes speakers.

    You can run 50w into 35w speakers as long as its clean power.

    (50w probably only has about 35-40w of clean power before distortion)

    This will get deep, I probably already said too much!

    Dv8oR, i was trying to keep it simple so rich could understand, as you know after about turning your volume up beond 3/4, you get that dreaded DISTORTION!! AAaaRRrrGGgg the scourge of loud music lover and all things that ROCK!! i hope you would agree that CAZ's lund should be rocking as all boats big and small must!!! even if the fishing stinks ones fishing time should be spent in the company of freinds with good food and COOL drinks!!!!!
