It's strange to hear all the engine problems. I prefished the weekend before out there and same issue. Boat ran fantastic all morning then around, it wouldn't idle. It'll start, barely, then idle really rough, then die. Went home, changed plugs, and the gas hose from bulb to motor(thought ethanol could be breaking it down.) Replaced with ethanol resistant hose. Backed it in the lake, same issue. Needless to say, its @ Sevice Marine now...
Used my partners boat this weekend. Had 14.10, barely missed out on a check. We lost 2 that would have moved us up. We had two , 14-1/8th" dinks weighed in. Update- As of now, I've been informed the air compressor has crapped out. Told em to go ahead and change out fuel filters as well.

So is this a gas problem from a gas station or something? It sure seems strange there were so many engine problems. I have a hard time believing it is just coincidence.

Just got the official word....it is NOT BLOWN...just a compressor trying to go out. No damage past the compressor itself. Gonna be a lot cheaper on me now. Glad we shut it down and got off the water. I got real lucky.

Was my first BassChamps tournament so we had no idea what to expect. I'd been out to CC 3 times for practice before the off limits and never could put it together. The day of the tournament we found them pretty good on a single stretch of docks that we just kept going over but I lost 4 in the 2-3 lbs range using a Gamakatsu skip gap hook. Switched to offset round bend and had no more problems but by then we were only getting unders to bite once the sun came out. End the day with partner having a 4 pounder come off at the boat. Long story short, we found them, got them to bite, but couldn't get them in the boat.
