Fishingmark I wondered about that cover on the exhaust manifold but neglected to pull up the Browns point diagram. Thanks to a fellow c-brat I'm on track again!! :thup

Localboy. I also noticed that the external anodes carrode at a much slower rate than the internals. My internals were 50% gone at 360 hrs. The externals simply need a yearly brushing to remove the fuzz but I was amazed to see the condition of the internals. My official Suzuki motor manual says...

Whilst pondering this internal anode omission from the Suzuki manual, I checked the manual for my Yamaha auxiliary 9.9. It mentions internal anodes being present but suggests seeking professional assistance for their replacement. They were admittedly a little spooky removing them from the Suzuki...

OH YA, another 19!! I just love 19s!! I pretty much did the same! Basically bought at first sight & have been in love since!! Congratulations, you certainly won't regret your choice of a 19! It's a great little boat! I fish...don't camp..perfect! Enjoy my friend. Don't hesitate to post your...

My 19 is on a King trailer. Model #,KB3100S. Single axle.

Hmmmm, more anode talk! I've got to get busy! Now,about that flushing. I've read somewhere about using dilute muriatic acid to clean out waterways with the salt eliminator/rabbit ear flush system. Any thoughts on that out there?

Thank you Peter, you are truly a wonderful human being!! I did indeed find my motor on the Browns Marine site you brought to my attention. Not only do I see two internal anodes,skillfully hidden & unmentioned in the motor manual,but also found that my motor is a 2004 by the serial numbers. I was...

Jazzmanic, I am my mechanic! Hmmm again. Back to being in a quandary.

Fishingmark.Thank you for your reply.. I feel better now. Happy fishing!

Over the years I've seen numerous threads mentioning replacement of internal anodes & each time I get concerned and scour my engine manual for any mention of such. Nothing!! Only things mentioned are two external anodes & bonding wires. Am I missing something somewhere. My engine is a 2003...

I think pulling the deck flooring out to wash out the fish slime, blood and guts is far too much hassle just to have a flat spot to stand & keep your blue suede shoes dry. I just bought rubber boots. But then I don't have standing water in the boat

I too got fired up on coonstripe when I bought the boat. I have some commercial friends who fish crab, salmon & coonstripe here in Crescent City who do ok but with long strings & lots of pots I built 2 12x12 x24" pots then lost my marbles & built 2 30" conical pots out of rubber wrapped rebar...

Hi Ray. On my 19, my Suzuki 70 trolls slow enough to fish. I use a Yamaha 9.9 hi-thrust as an auxiliary get home motor. If you have a long way home, hi-thrust is wonderful. When I needed it, I didn't care if it matched my main or even if it was pink!!

Thanks Joe. Giad to hear some snow is accumulating. We're finally getting some much needed rain on the north coast. The Smith just got blown out on the last storm, first time in quite awhile. Steelhead starting to show also. we had a very poor ocean salmon season in C.City this year & now...

Joe. How much snow up there at Almanor? Went to school at Lassen college and lived upstairs in the Westwood fire dept for a couple of years in the early 70s. Cold country for sure.

On a number of occasions I've lusted for a couple of Garelick folding seats for the boat. BUT, each time I look, after forgetting about them, I'm utterly outraged & disgusted with the asking price of these simple seats. Add in shipping & an immigrant family of 5 could live for 3 months!! But...

I-phone works great. Use it all the time as backup to my other backup. Velcro on dash & phone & plugged in to acc. Port. Also have the hike & bike navionics app on our phones. Wife always uses it when on horseback in the redwood outback trails. Invaluable!!!

The only thing I've found that crab don't like is a big piece of beef fat. My primary bait is, everything on a tuna except the fins. Second is rockfish carcasses. Shoot, if those crab get the chance they will eat you. They even eat each other if there's nothing else. What kind of bait is the...

I've tried several times to get the spots off my windows. I finally had success with bar keepers friend(dry). Oh ya... Elbo grease too! Turned out like new. About time to repeat the process tho.

The only thing I've seen crab turn up their noses at was a slab of beef fat I tried once. My primary crab bait is all the albacore remnants except fins. Next is hanging rock fish carcassas. Hell, left to their own devises, they will eat each other so I don't think you can go wrong. They will...
