    Increasing my small boat rod spread

    Deepest water would be 90 ft but the deepest we would actually troll would be about 60 ft deep. Most times we are in water that is anywhere from 15-25 feet deep. When we can we get out to some deeper water where our target is usually 30-60 feet. I wish we could have more space but we work with...

    1980 Gamefisher

    This is correct. Since it's an 80 model it's an eska. I'm curious as to if there's a manual floating around online I saw the reproductions on eBay and I have found that Sears parts direct still have the part numbers but no longer sell them. I'd like any info on it. When I saw it running...

    Hey ya'll. Just picked up a gamefisher 7.5 model number 217-585932 (1980 model). I am new when it comes to gas outboards but have a little experience with small motors but not much with 2 stroke motors. The outboard itself seems to run well. It is incredibly clean. I am just not sure about...
