    not to make fun of your buddy but P.T. Barnum once said "theres a sucker born every minute" Prices are always set by what people are willing to pay. That one makes me laugh because thats exactly what I paid to launch my boat this year...unlimited, for the entire calendar year lol.

    You know what? I’m gonna do this and video it. I’ll at least take it apart as far as I did. I don’t think I want to go beyond taking apart the worm gear etc. I’ll post the video to YouTube and see where we get

    Big time hatch up here in PAB turned the smallies right off for a day, the couple we caught were puking them up by the bunches

    Haha...I’m almost considering it at this point. I’m not sure if it’s worth it for me to send off to fix at this point. My overall fishing as a whole has changed so much over the past few years especially as I finally got confident with the baitcaster I’m having less and less use for spinning reels.

    I think he mentions his transducer location in this video.

    One thing is you definitely don’t want to put it somewhere where the water specifically will be disturbed. That’s why they also mention the prop area because of the prop wash. Lots of guys like em on the far outside edge so that they can sharp shoot over them. also confirmed, I was easily reading bottom going 40mph yesterday.

    Search it, I just did a big write up on it

    That’s what I’m wondering! It would make sense but it’s mind blowing that it’s not listed in the schematic. Its also very possible that it’s a broken piece off of somewhere else? i reached out to th kustoms and I will try reach out to rockys. I may just also send this reel in with a curado that I own that has some internal issues that need to be cleaned up. Still cheaper than buying new especially these days.
  9. AKRISONER
    I’m literally wondering that, but the fact that the reel doesn’t seem to want to go together again is throwing me off big time!
  10. AKRISONER
    I thought so too, but I realized that’s the drag clicker...I had that piece out It was really really tiny, a whole different ordeal as I was taking it apart 7466 fell on the floor lol I can confirm that 7467 is less than half the size of this spring. see now I’m tripping out because you guys don’t see any springs either. This schematic you provided is great though!

    Hopefully fixed now? Using an iPhone to post images from up north. Pain in the ass.

    Hey guys, was doing a clean up and grease of an old used stradic that I picked up on the cheap. I started breaking it down, took the spool off and just did some cleaning in and around the gearing without taking anything apart further than simply exposing the gearing. Re-assembled the reel and sure enough I came out with an extra spring somehow that managed to roll away from my row of parts. now I can’t bloody figure out where the heck it belongs to. I’ve stared at the schemantic for hours and can’t seem to figure out where in the heck the spring is even on the parts list. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/shimano-st2500fh-stradic-spinning-reel-parts-c-200301_200302_205226.html I then watched Two 45 minute videos of a guys disassembling the stradic 4000 of the same year and then another 2500 of a different model of hopes of seeing the part. The one of the 4000 unfortunately the guy doesn’t take a lot of the pieces fully apart. I’m rattled...did I just blow a perfectly good reel? I tried reassembling without the spring and something is definitely wrong. I can’t get the drag assembly to tighten up, yet with it simply on the shaft it seems to space it out to far! I’m lost. If any of you reel gurus or guys that are good with drawings can take a look and throw your ideas at me I’d greatly appreciate it. Heck maybe even one of you guys owns one of these all time classic jdm spinning reels! thanks in advance!

    Seems like the boat has already repaid you in its value! your tm issues definitely sound like a battery problem. You might be able to save some weight just running two group 27’s. Canadian tire group 27 AGM’s is just what I put in my boat and I am really happy with them so far. I’m in a heavier boat too and fish windy as heck Georgian bay. I fished 12 hours on saturday and didn’t have a single issue!
  14. AKRISONER
    Holy crap that thing is an absolute sow unreal!
  15. AKRISONER
    That’s a 50 for sure. I look at my PB 46 and this looks wayyyy longer. I’m still waiting for the day I run into one of these giants. Only caught lots of smaller ones in the spring and one ok one actually trying to fish for them. It’s something I need to spend more time doing. i thought with the spring we’ve had being so warm and the opener being a week late the fish would be already holding to more summerish patterns but low and behold they are still stacked up right up in the sand still in any of the pockets I find them. We shall see what this heatwave does this week. congrats!

    I’m gonna also chime in and tell you that my 88 suzuki still goes, my 94 Johnson is dead with electrical issues that couldn’t be fixed without buying a new control module every year the thing kept frying itself. The 98 Yamaha runs like a top. The 2002 Mercury is running but it’s had electrical problems as well that we were able to fix.

    I’m gonna pm you about this jacking up the boat procedure. I’ve watched a couple of videos but it scares the hell outta me
  18. AKRISONER
    I might just have to do this boat jacking up thing to re-gel some of that fiberglass. Hell it doesn’t even have to look good you can’t see it unless you literally swim underneath the boat and look at the very very back.
  19. AKRISONER
    A change in chemicals used in the fiberglass or gel coat to meet some kind of environmental standard....or did they realize there was some kinda crazy carcinogenic compound they were using to do the fiberglass? I’ve been reading horror stories, specifically about Phoenix boats and it really surprised me. What gives?
  20. AKRISONER
    Gotta pay to play. Agreed that if you wanna run the boat 100kmh you hope your boat is well manufactured and been taken care of. Maybe I also just got lucky with my rig that the hull was made by skeeter and has been bulletproof so far. I already know though the bunks have put a few bad spots into the hull, i can see them when I swim beneath my boat. Tough to work on a boat though without being able to jack it up somehow.
  21. AKRISONER
    That 15-20 minute boat ride out to your fishing spot doesn’t get even close to recharging the juice you’ve used running graphs, livewells, sump pump, and turning your motor over. I think this is why a lot of people have problems with batteries dying after 2-3 years, their battery is almost permanently in a state of discharge.

    Don’t worry about ipilot link...minkotta did such a poor job developing their lakemaster canada card that it’s basically not worth it to have to use lakemaster. Just get regular ipilot and run navionics. If you want to get real fancy you can get yourself a zero lines card and start making your own charts (I love this) using autochart live. The ipilot will give you spotlock and bearing lock. The only real thing you’ll miss out on is using link to allow you to stick to particular depth lines. But I’ve found the lakemaster card required to do that to be totally garbage. It’s actually sad how bad it is. I think a group 31 with a 55 will easily push your boat around all day. There’s a reason the stock is so low, it’s because it’s such a good cost effective set up! as far as chargers go, you definitely get what you pay for. Don’t mess with bass pro brand or any other junk. Best bang for your buck though (imo) is a noco genius. Cheaper than minkotta with the same quality and a beautiful waterproof compact design.

    Ya no one would do mine without one and I tried. Hence no insurance on my rig. A total scam and pita. They list blue book on my boat at $1,000 and expected me to spend more than that just to get insurance in the first place. What a joke. anyone know if general liability insurance provided by OFAH would help me with actual liability so that I could fish larger organized tournaments?
  24. AKRISONER
    By the way I’m not saying it was...but there was a huge amount of counterfeit power pro being sold all over the place in recent years. You’d see guys selling it all over the internet and Kijiji. obviouslt you won’t have that problem if you pay the full $24 at crappy can
  25. AKRISONER
    Terrova ipilot 55lb...best motor for what you are looking for for sure!
