When do you change your outboards lower unit lube: Beginning of Season or End of Season?
If you don't use your boat in the winter and only change the lube once per year, do it in the fall so that if there is any problem you'll have time to get it fixed before spring.

Any Mold Makers?
I have several molds that I have made mostly from Bondo fiberglass resin.

All glass divided pouring cup
That is really nice and very fancy. My divided cup just has a piece of flashing glued in with JB Weld.

White bumps on bass tail?!
Yes they are parasites. This is very common for summer pond bass. If you are eating the fish don't worry as they are 100% protein.

Baitcast reel around $100
There are always good buys on here in the flea market. Right now there is a Shimano Curado and a Citica.

Spot or Not?
The body is that of a lmb not a spot. A better pic would make identifying a lot easier. Having the fish lying flat is the best way for us to tell anything.

Rod handle length
I found a rod maker who lengthened the grip by 2 inches and balanced the rod to use with a Curado reel. I really like it now.

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.
