It has been a while since I have visited the Fast Bass bulletin board, and now I am not able to access it. Can anyone help me out to get back into this bulletin board. Thank you, Butch Leslie

I took my inner bearings and races to a bearing dealer and he measured and matched them free of charge. I replaced them on both axles and bought a spare set and carry the spare set with me along with tools to change them on the road if necessary. I also have a spare seal. Seems like there is...

My battery is just setting in the tray with no strap, it has never moved while running. Butch Leslie

Check your PM.

No power pole, but I did buy a telescoping push pole from Academy and stick it into the mud and tie up to it. Lots cheaper and lighter. Butch Leslie

Great idea Bruce, I wouldn't have thought of that. When you and Andred put your heads together you are unstopable. Butch

Bruce, I hope someone comes in with your answer before you send the gauge back to Gaffrig. Butch

I use the NGK BPZHN10 in my 280 'cause this is what Mercury changed to from the Champion. Others may work just fine. Butch Leslie

Not sure yet. I am servicing the lower unit with new water pump, than taking it out again and then I will decide. Butch Leslie

I use a car product and it works pretty darn good. I first use the clay magic, it removes anythinging on the fiberglass and makes it as slick as when it came out of the mold. The procuct that I like best for wax is nu finish, the once a year car polish. It is so slick when done that when I...

Hello Bruce, Just maybe, since there is less resin in a comp, this makes the price a little lower. Mine is a comp and it does not have cleats, nor does it have any lights in the interior. The only accessories are 1 bilge and 2 livewell pumps, tachometer, fuel gauge, trim gauge, water pressure...

Been reading the adverse affects of E-10 ethanol in gasoline on outboards, and was wondering if this ethanol will do any damage to the fuel tanks that Allison uses. Mine is made by Moler and it has a tag on it stating the material is crosslink poly. Can anyone shed some light on this. Butch...

What pitch high 5 and hull and motor combo do you have? I use to fish with a guy that had a ranger bass boat with a 175 Mercury with a high 5, don't know what pitch, but that thing was a bear on hole shot. Butch Leslie

The job is done and it is perfect. I pulled the 4 studs out of the old taillight and used JB weld to secure them in the new lense. Let the JB weld set up over night and installed it today. A real bargain at $24.95 and $4.50 for the JB weld. Butch Leslie

Well, my wife backed into a tree and broke the left drivers side taillight lense. I went on the internet to see if I could find one at a fiar price, and the price range was from $250 and up. Found a websight that had slightly scuffed new OEM one's for $24.95, left side only, I was in luck, and...

Mine is an XB2002 and is 17 years old. When I go to launch it I am often asked if it is brand new. Butch Leslie

I usually just use a metal drift to tap it out. Mine is stainless and never had a problem. The plastic one may require a wood drift to tap it out.The plastic strips may come off. I use weatherstrip adheasive to glue them back in place. Butch Leslie

This is my thoughts on reducing the price at the pumps. Have the government to build their own refineries, both here and in Mexico. We still buy the crude at the current high prices and refine it and sell it at the cost to buy and refine it, no profit. The government makes no profit. As a result...

I ran mine through the 2 Allison gromets, and I put a little siclicone on the hoses and they slide back and forth just fine. No wear on the hoses. Butch Leslie

So often we find the problem and don't post it, but I am. I started checking connections at the ECU first, and they were just fine, a couple of cannon plugs. I then went to the pump and removed one wire. I cleaned the lug and the stud on the pump, put on some dielectric compound and bolted the...
