    Underwater river cams -- WALLEYES

    Been watching the underwater cam at Shiocton Wisconsin for a while. But only watch for 5 minutes a day. Very late spring this year, and the water temps jumped from 36 on Sunday, to 42 on Wednesday. This has really triggered the fish to move upstream, from Winnebago, 50 miles up to the marshes...

    Force 35 OB has no mounting Clamps?

    Re: Force 35 OB has no mounting Clamps? yes. Then you can lose that wood shim, as the motor will be held against the outside of the transom by 4 bolts. And don't drill any holes until you determine the correct mounting height. Click to enlarge

    A couple questions

    Re: A couple questions Loosen the 2 bolts on each side of the jack plate. Turn the large screw/bolt that sits vertically in the center. If you have a newer model like mine, you can access the screw from either the top or the bottom. Big motor on a 400# boat. :)

    Re: Extenal Gas Tank Click thumbnail. The tank vents during operation only. Look where the fuel line attaches. There is a small spring loaded pin next to the fuel inlet. When the hose is attached, the little pin is pressed in, and the vent is open.
