Michael Barry was the speaker at the Club last Wed. I used to wait on his Dad at the Tavern back in the day. Great folks with big hearts. Saw him at the show.

I so want to deep drop for Swordies. He is a great guy who shared some mojo. Aussie rigged with flax. They do slap their meals if even dead.

His rig and presentation is indeed well thought out.

Anybody heard from Brian and the 21?

Cheers,
GFS

Save your money, use the boat or leave it empty and I switched to bombadier fuel line from the silver when I switched and no issues. Honest not a hicup, you do have to use the boat often which is hard for northern guys so leave it empty, no option

I agree...the same happened to me. I even did a post. What I found out was I needed to change fuel filter every 10 hours or so until all the loose junk got out.

Last week I went out and bang around about 7 miles off shore(snotty seas) and coming in the motor started acting up. By the time I got to the dock it was barely running.

Changed the filter. Started up coughed a few times and now running good.

Drained the filter and yep, water and junk. The rough seas broke loose more of the sediment loosened up by e10.

So I guess use it or loose it

If you're getting ethanol deterioration, change ALL your fuel lines.
