Screw lock problems
I make my own and have never had one break. I'd be looking at the jig mfg to see what they say.

Throw them and see how your rod responds.

powder coat baking temp and time
With my $2 garage sale toaster oven, I have found that 15-20 minutes set on 350° is good. White and chartreuse no more than 15.

Buying a boat title question
You are correct. Select a price for each and have it written on the title for that item.

How do you use your high-end sonar?
I use the down scan to look in deep submerged trees for schooling crappie in the fall and winter. I also record banks as I drive past them then pull of and look at the recording vis the simulator. That way I can have 2d, down, side and the chart all visible while I am sitting still. I look at stuff and determine if or not I want to mark a wpt.

Fillet knives
I use the cordless Rapala with the lithium battery. It is the best one I have ever had. It has never run down when cleaning a double limit of white bass or crappie. Pricey but good.

Extended Motor Warranty
I used to sell extended warranties and I loved guys who bought them. If It were me and I'd had problems with the motor, I'd jump all over an extended warranty. On the flip side, if I had a motor that had been trouble free I'd keep on keepin' on and put the money back to cover other expenses.

Seat replacements
Check the BPS web site. They probably carry them or something close to them.

Anybody have a trailer storage box?
I bought an electric jack that was supposed to be powered by an auxiliary battery. I rewired it and put a 7 pin connector on it. I just plug it into the truck when I want to jack the trailer. There surely is a way to also power a winch via the truck.

mold question
Tim I make a lot of my own molds. I use Bondo and silicone. I've never used POP as I am pretty careless and clumsy. If you are wanting stick molds there have been some on sale at www.tackleunderground.com and Bears baits. Look in the for sale sections. Also check out Lurecraft and Bait Junkies. They have lots of molds.

What is this seemingly worthless kickstand on my outboard for?
That is just another semi worthless part that some companies add to the motors. I had several with them and never used a one that I can remember.

HDS 9 Side Imaging Question
Personally, I find that 50' or less gives the best images.

Tube dipping
That would be Bo Jon. Cancer got him. Try searching on www.tackleunderground.com.

Float N Fly Help
When I did it I used from 5-12' of line below the float, adjusting up or down as needed to get bit. I pretty much would shake the rod causing the float to make little bobbing moves and bring it back slowly.

Knot for YZH
I use the 16/20 (Pitzen) knot for all lines. It is easy to tie, even with gloves on and very strong.
