Memphis area bass fishing
Steve the owner of the closest one to Covington pike was owned by Mr. Mason my grand father worked for him at Mason Esso gas station on Jackson ave near Hi Boy hamburgers . We fished there a lot when I was knee high. We caught a lot of fish back then with a cane pole back in the early sixties be for my Grand father passed away in 1964. I have no Ideal when he sold the place. I'm talking about the one on the left on Austinpeay hwy. There wasn't any subdivisons past stage rd back then

Motorguide X3 and VRS?
I just put a MG 55# thrust X3 it will work fine at the ten o'clock position .I didn't like the cable being out side the boat so I change it to the four o'clock position but it works good any way you put it.

After sitting behind the boat today something caught my eye. The motor is at least 1/2 in off center and is cockeyed to the left. Who ever put this motor on the boat did a very bad job. So I just have to deal with it until after September. I will take it to a good Marine shop and let them get it right. Life goes on at least I got to spend some good quality time with my grand sons the past two days. Dan

It's a 1990 model . I have been raised in a boat. I have had my own boat since 1979 . Three outboards , Two inboards out drives and a Jet boat with a 460 cubic inch in it. So this boat thing is not new to me but this problem is.

I called a marine dealer this morning. They said the skeg must be strait .Also where my top right motor mount bolt is concaved in that it must be squared if not it will affect the steering . So the solution is striating skeg and add flat bar to upper right motor mount bolt on inside transom .

Reel depressed.
I was going to a tournament and got about two miles down the road and realized I didn't have my glasses on. Went back home got glasses got to the ramp to get live well check and register for the Tournament truck was over heating. My partner put me in the water and parked the truck. We were fishing and trolling motor started locking up. We only caught one bass. Went to put boat on trailer and Go to weigh in. Truck wouldn't start. Battery dead !!!!!! What a day.

My boat has always pulled to the right but easy to turn left until I changed out my prop from a 19 pitch to a 21 pitch. Now its still pulls right but very hard to steer left at full speed
