DIRTY DOG

does any one no of a good i/o machanic in sw mi. i have a oldre omc that needs a seal in the top of the out drive

how much backing do you let out to get a half core and 4 oz do to the depth of a full core

count me in depending on the loc. i fave a 24 ft boat and it cost a lot in gas to pull he up the road muskegon is the limet for methat about 55 mi.

i also yous this system that oakly is tooking aboat it is what the walley guys use for crawler harnsses just put the swivele on the rubber hook wind the leader on and hold it on with a rubber band no tangle and comes off really nice

i do it like some of you other guys i find out what way the current is going and head staight into it and only turn when the rods stop popin this must work this was 4 staight summers with out a skunk and at least 7 fish in the box ever day

TIARA i see you are from allegan also if you are intrested i can take you out this summer and show you how i do it i am also from allegan
