Crankin Reel Question
The 7.1:1 also has a lot less torque than a lower gear ratio will.

How Much To Rebuild Trim Motor
Depends on whether or not you take it off yourself. I have an 87 Mariner 150. When mine went out I took it off and took it to a local Electric motor shop. He rebuilt it for 75 dollars and I had it back in about a week.

Oil For Small Obs
I like synthetic as it burns cleaner. Just make sure either way it is tcw3 rated.

Props
Sorry if this has been asked before but I searched and can't find it. I recently bought a boat with a 45 horse mariner. It came with two four blade props. One has 12p on it and one has 13p. Can anyone tell me what these numbers mean. Thanks in advance.

red eye split rings
They are designed like that to keep your line off of the sharp edges when tying your line to the split ring.

What to do with old reels?
If the parts are usable in another reel I usually hang on to them and if I just don't want them anymore I give them away.

Saeguar Red Label VS. Inviz & AbrazX?
I have been using it for about 4 months now. It is great and the only breakoffs I have had have been my fault. Handles really well.

berkley lightning shock rods
I have been using one for several months now. I have the 7 foot MH action. So far it has held up very good. It is lightweight and sensitive. For the price you can't beat it. Plus it holds up well to abuse on the boat deck.

engin failure
I got an 87 Mariner 45 Horse. It has an external oiler that has never had a drop of oil put through it. Always took the extra minute and mixed the oil. Heard two many horror stories of them failing at peak times. I change the fuel line every two years as well as the impeller. Never had problem one. However I must admit that I want one of the new Mercury's with the built in oil reservoir but as long as this one runs fine I can't justify getting anything new.

Wally-world Clearance
Here in Memphis they had Bandit and Norman Crankbaits on clearance. Bought several 100's, 200's, 300's as well as DD14 and DD22's for 3 bucks each.

How do you organize your crankbaits?
I go by depths that way I don't have 3 of the same color right next to each other and then have to wonder what is what.

Tracker PT 175 TXW vs Lowe ST170
Given the option I would go with the Lowe. I think they are much better built and ride much smoother.
