Gloria, the next time you use David, be sure and have a couple of Mr. Pibbs ready for him. He loves Mr. Pibb!!! LOL. He loves boats too!  And, he told me had to cut back on sodas, only drinks water now. He had a huge cup full of ice water. He said I live in the boondocks. I had told him I live in the country, now he believes me. LOL

Was steared right on motor maintenance. David came Sat and fixed me up good. And... he is a genius for sure. My 2006 Nitro has been talked about by everyone I could find over the years trying to find out why I have a horrible port side lean taking off. When on plane I am fine. David and I talked about it thru the day and he figured it out. My darn motor is mounted crooked, just a tiny tiny bit, but it is so obvious to see now that he found it. I am so glad to know what the problem is. David is gonna fix it when he gets time. I will be so glad to take off and not have to do some creative driving trying to stay somewhat level. Ha!
Ok. I vacuumed and shampooed the carpet. Scrubbed my seats with vinyl cleaner and added protectant. Washed and shined up the boat. Organized all my tackle. Rods and tackle in boat. Snacks and drinks ready to add to the ice chest in the morning. Needless to say, I am so tired I am about to drop but... I am more than ready to hit the water. Will be on the lake in the morning.   Gloria, No where above did you mention that you had the oatmeal cookie's ready, Ha Ha , good Luck,

Well good luck with the fishing, making me tired thinking about going through my stuff to get my boat back ready for the spring fishing and I know this must be done soon.
Also just sold mu 1197 and put a new 1198 on so now having to find all the adjustments again to get it like I want it. Then I still am in the middle of putting all my jigs in some new boxes I got so I could separate them by weight and color. I am not looking forward to this, but has to be very soon, LOL!
Glad you got someone to find your motor troubles and can fix it!  Wish I had that new unit you have.

Yep! I love COOKIES, especially nice to have when you are fishing.  Lakeman and I went together to get in the boat with Ernest on Cedar Creek one day and I brought my famous homemade Oatmeal Cookies. We all enjoyed eating Cookies.

David saw my post and called me about my Lowrance unit not having sonar, see how great he is! Told me something to check for. However... I cannot hear the darn thing clicking or not since it is thru hull.
But... I'm back in business now. I had wanted to try a reset on my Lowrance unit but had forgotten the key combination. Finally had time today to get the book and look up my notes. Gonna put the info in my phone so I will always have it with me. I did the reset and my sonar is back working again. Now if I can get another day to get back to the lake.
