pd's bent shaft...

I dont fish as much as some, and there are times that I dont deploy the bowmount. This has to be the 4th year for this, bought it in spring of '08 and it's an '07. Silent last year.

vibration...

I had the prop off it last night, and the shaft tip is off center bout a 1/16". Really shows at the high speed. Just wondering if this has happened to others. Quiet motor the first 3 years. Wonder if it is this bearing causing the oscilation.

MK PD-55 vibration

It's making noise when running at the higher rpm's. Found the shaft is off like a 1/16. Could the bearing in that 'cap' be going? It's maybe in its' 4th year, and I dont recall ever running into anything while it was deployed. Anyone have this happen to them? Thanks, Bruce.

duckling lure

I have made a couple out of those rubber kids bathtub toys. Filled it with expanding foam. Ran a tube thru it left to right, thru that a s.s wire I attached some feet to, to make noise as I pulled it back. No feathers though. Did put a huge treble on da butt with a shrink tube to hold it up out of t...

un-sticking a Knipex

It has spent too much time in the boat and under the cover and has rusted some, sticking too. Used it anyway on a treble in a pike last night. It was tough to operate. What's the best to soak it in to get it back to working condition?? Thank you.

Fob is real simple. Uses a watch battery. I wear it on the wrist 99% of the time. With my setup, that day on Mona, I could not go back to using the fob unless I unplugged the foot pedal. Seems the cordless foot pedal, you need the CoPilot system, one can go back and forth from fob to pedal. I steer ...
