Thanks all. I understand the difficulty of publishing because of the varied amounts carried by us users and small differences from boat to boat. But that will be enough for him. He is working with the guys at Riverside here in Nashville and they know their stuff.

Dark grey trailer white fenders and pivot tongue. Steps and pole if pole will still allow rear hatch on Jeep to open. So I will need to find out where the pole bolts up to check that? 2005 Puma.

Woops, should read do it yourself!

OK I will pull the plugs tonight and see what they look like before “investing” in a new set!

[BTune]

That is it! Thanks guys this one looks like a no brainer deal that you would think someone could make a few $$$ on. I am ordering my roller today.

Cumberland is down for repairs! Nothing to do with dry weather. The dam is in bad shape and will need major (as in many millions) which will take several years to complete. Center Hill is also undergoing major issues with leaks and has been drawn down for repairs. There have been meeting held by the Corps about a possible breach and they even had maps showing the potential flood damage downstream (read Nashville!) Since Tennessee sits on limestone all our old dams are subject to the same problems. It will cost billions to get them all fixed but is necessary to prevent possible major flood problems.

Not a lot to add here but I fish them mostly with a St Croix LT 4C70MF rod that I built. This is the St Croix Senko special. Senkos will do most any plastics method and can be fished with almost any tackle, spin for the 4″ size, on a jig head, flipped with or without a worm weight, carolina rigged, you get the idea. My favorite is a 5″ with a 3/16 ounce weight on 12-14 pound for a search bait in place of a carolina rig. Point is select the rod for the conditions. And I suggest you try the 4″ slims for a tough bite.

I got my Boat from Riverside and they were most helpful. Our Puma is an 05 and it is still just like new (well almost I did have a little run in with a milk jug). The new boats 2008 looked good (I was there to check out the new Cougar FTD). Bass Cat will take care of their owners, they will do what they say. If you have not I highly recommend a trip to Mt Home.

Actually I really like the new FTD. Maybe next year?

OK that is 44 pounds. Thanks, all were low. One of those things we all need to check for both good pulling and safety! You really cannot see when a tire is low unless it has 11 pounds!

It was not driven with the pressure that low. Been sitting in the basement all winter! I checked it again and it was down about 10 so I will check the stem for leak, but probably has a puncture. Great thing is that is why I got a spare and an air pump!! Since most gas stations no longer have “free” air (or any air!) having everything at home for tire maintenance is the way to go.

[BTune]

Thanks I will try that tomorrow. It will not do anything in my basement!

[BTune]

Thanks guys. I turned the 332C on and hit the exit button. That did it. Wonder what caused this issue, memory full?? Even caught a few with the winds at over 30 mph!!

[BTune]

Thanks I will put a charger on it. But looking back I can see where it was getting weak indicating less than 12 volts etc. The new battery cranked right up and held all day. Now if the fish had come out of hiding!! probably caught 20 or more and the largest was 14.75 (limit is 15″). Dont know about you guys but when something like this happens before a T it just throws me off! I replaced it with pretty much the same battery (BPS) 1000 MCA but I will keep an eye on this one after a couple of years. Thank again!!

I swapped them on my 05 Puma and have a pointer. As you replace the latches you MAY need to use the latch bolt (or whatever the bar that holds the lid down is called) from the old assembly as some are shaped a little differently, sort of a Z shape. And if you do be sure to check them as they could be cracked if overtightened. I did mine last year and they have worked fine. And yes they can get so hot you will not want to grab them for long!
