Something I noticed after my first year fishing for smallies
Scuba divers can & have taught me the most about my areas. 1 guy went LOOKING for fish with me. His survey of the vegetation and animal life was not good. I thanked him. But will never ask again. Knowing how bad the findings will be.

Aquatic Vegetation Question
You jogged my old memory. We have lost almost every Lilly in 1 corner of our bay But there are still LOADS clogging around our docks. They are fine with all the septic tank sludge in that area. City water & sewage are wiping out lots of areas. The man made beautiful Ell Grass beds of fishing.

Aquatic Vegetation Question
Web search Canada reveals that the Ell Grass Is being mowed down by the European green Crab & Slime Mold. BINGO on my dying fishing area. That fantastic green rug that provided everything to " Good Old Days ".

Aquatic Vegetation Question
We had a 12" to 18 " tall grass on the bay bottom for decades. More fish of all types provided food for ALL BIG fish. When that grass disappeared. So did almost all fish. Oh well

How fast is too fast?
Sort of very true racing proverb. I know a couple of those people. "" There are old racers. There are fast racers. There are no old fast racers. My boat engine mechanic is living proof of broken back pain. Idiot racing owner of a boat flipped the boat while Dave is diagnosing a engine miss . Owner is fine. Dave is Helicoptered to trauma hospital.

How fast is too fast?
I almost ripped the head off of a Snorkel diver in the ST. Lawrence River in the main shipping channel. Idiot pops up right in front of me. I instantly yank the wheel hard left at just under 30 mph. I am slammed against the hull side. AAAGGGHHH I am hurting a lot on my right side. I slow way down & recover. Go back where I thought I had hit him. He pops back up AGAIN. I motor over & he starts yelling I almost killed him. I yell back he has to have a floating diver in the water flag to warn boats to stay away. I call ALL the police & USCG to come & ticket him. They do as he argues with them.

Can't Get Lowrance to Read Depth When On Plane
You said it has the same pronlem if engine is speeded up in Neutral. So there is a problem with the unit itself. The installers NEVER CHECKED their work...........They need to repair or replace the problem. Get a good mechanic.

If it does not work in Neutral ? THe F F is a reject. There is NO NO NO problem with bracket, angle or anything else. Take it back to who bought & installed the F F. The F F is either a reject. Or there is a very loose connection somewhere.

How fast is too fast?

How fast is too fast?
My 30 hp in the 16' open Aluminum Is fine on plane for a 7 mile area to fish. But the fish count is so low. I will be trailering to other areas. Adjust or quit.

Speeding at WOT has nothing to do with catching more & bigger bass. Catching bass in lake Ontario has proven that for years. I C U has unlimited visiting hours.

Having realistic expectations...

Daiwa tatula LT 3000 CHX antireverse issue.
Some companies & Tech Support WILL repair a out of warranty......IF It is a known problem. Been there more than 1 time. A call is cheap to the factory. Get lucky.

Then it is a bad unit OR installation. They never did test run the boat and F F. Have them find a repair............. NOT you.

Is this a new or used boat that the dealer installed the everything on ? The above idle problem. In Neutral & Drive ? Everything looks brand new. Have the dealer make good on the problem & get your money back on that Jonny Ray bracket. I think some mechanic left a completely loose connection in your boat. Take it back . Tell them to fix it. No more money.
