Lowrance speed issue
I cant say for sure but I bet they are pulling out of the water. The 3d is where I have mine and it does come out of the water. I do this to keep from knocking it off at speed plus they wont read at speed either. On the 83/200 Is that an aluminum or glass boat? if its glass boat I'd epoxy it to the inside of the boat. I do not know if you can do that to aluminum boats. Almost all glass bass boats have the 83/200 in the bilge are of the boat. In the OM look at page 20. It will show you locations and pros/cons of each location. You will also need to level the 3d transducer to how the boat sits in the water. It will clear up your picture.

Lowrance speed issue
Where is your structure scan and your 83/200 transducer located? Are they being pulled out of the water when you start going up on plane?

My answer to clean routing of transducer cable on MK Fortrex....
Thats pretty close to how i ran mine but the way you did it is cleaner.

Shallow jigs
For standard fishing I typically go 3/8. But as Catt mentioned it really depends on the situation. If you get into punching,grass, or heavy brush that 3/8 can quickly change to 3/4-1 oz if needed.

Keitech Swing Impact FAT alternative?

Prop barely spinning after hitting stump
If that's only a prop issue its an easy fix for a prop guy. Typically the rework that area and then balance the prop. If he is a good prop guy the prop will usually come back better then new.

Hydraulic Steering BayStar vs. SeaStar
I've only used SeaStar but I have had my seals go bad. Like slonezp said. If its leaking reseal it. Thats what I did to mine, it was a couple hundred in labor and fluid compared to the grand it would have been. Works like a champ now. If you are only running a 115 and its rated for a 150 why upgrade.

Your favorite Jig for $3.50 or less?
That is Sweet Craw. Its one of my hottest selling colors. It is a green pumpkin and whisky mix. The head is a 3/8 Dredge Brush jig.

FYI: karu vibrashock and sieberts fogy
I have fished a Fogy a ton and used different trailers on them for different effects of the bait. The blade can and at times will hit the head. Especially when it hits cover and bounces over it. This torques the head when it moves and may hit the head. Which in turn may chip the paint. One of the biggest benefits of the football head I have found is how it comes over cover. The football head acts like a skid plate on a truck going over obstacles. It moves over it instead of rolling to the side and increasing the chance of hanging. The negative of losing a little paint drastically outweighs losing the lure on a side roll.

Lake Erie, St. Clair or Somewhere Else?
I fish St Clair at least once a year for a week straight. Its a great lake for smallies, Walleye, Pike, and Musky. If your into White bass you can literally catch hundreds of them a day in mid may. The biggest risk was stated above. Wind. If it gets windy you will get beat up or not be able to fish. I have never fished Erie. West winds are the best to fish the lake on the US side for the main areas most guys fish. Last year was one of the windiest years I have ever been there. It was 10-20mph every day.
