What's up everyone! Orlando guy checking in here, just wanted to say hello... Any of you fish the winter park/ Maitland chain often? Been looking for some tips or fishing reports on the chain and haven't really found much worth reading, could use all the help I can get. I've been fishing a pretty long time but just got a boat and its a whole new world.

You know I should probably detail this a tiny bit. I want a badass boat just as much as the next guy, but here's what I would really consider if I were OP. Get something for a few thousand that isn't quite what you want, it still gets you on the water and gets you to the fish. Instead of paying money on a boat note start stacking your cash. You can put away a surprising amount if you're dedicated. If you're handy buy things to fix up and resell for more money, look for steals that you can make a few bucks and put it ALL in to your boat fund. Find ways to make cash money and save every penny of it. Just my opinion. Good luck OP.

Don't finance toys.

I'm down man! I'm gonna be going most days this week let me know!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!

Hey everybody! Been lurking here for quite a while and figured I should register and say hello!! This forum is awesome and hopefully one day I'll know enough to contribute. P.s I'm in Orlando if any of you are looking for fishing buddies.

It does have a bypass I'll give that a shot thank you!

I've read multiple different opinions so I'd like to at least try to bleed it properly before I make that assumption.

Just today I missed a bass 2 times on a spinnerbait told my buddy to toss his senko to the same hole and he caught the fish first cast to the spot. I'd have to agree with the advice given!

No it was just really low when I looked down in there. It's actually not too bad on mine I was able to get a small funnel on top and only spill a little lol. The first to spill out actually had no foam at all.. I checked it earlier and if I put it all the way up and let go it still droops down a bit. I'm not sure how far it would go down if I left it overnight but I don't have room in the garage to try unfortunately. I personally still think it has a little bit of air inside the cylinders.

Yes I cycled through it up and down with the fill screw out and the level when in the up position is all the way to the threads. I did this multiple times throughout the day

Hi Guys, Been lurking a really long time here on Bassresource and this is my first post! Anyhow I was hoping some of you guys may be able to help me figure out what's going on with my power tilt/trim. I believe I need to bleed the cylinders (rams) because recently it stopped staying all the way up when raised. I noticed today the hoses were leaking pretty bad on the bottom of the pump so I tightened those up and checked the oil which was pretty low. I went ahead and filled it, then cycled the system up and down several times to bleed it. This system has the reservoir inside the boat with lines to the rams. It has two rams one on each side of the outboard. It's a 35 hp I believe an '86. Please let me know if there are any details I can fill in to help find a solution.
