I have a 1973 Lowe 1648 with a 25 etec 2017. It has tilt and trim switch on throttle at console. I fish year round in central Illnois by myself most of the time. My concern is getting back in the boat should I fall overboard. So want to make switch on rear like on bigger motors, can mount to...

Stumpalump you are entitled to your opinions. however I think ,In my opinion and only my opinion which I am entitled to. you are a moron .Just sayin. Have a wonderful day and may a big black bird poop on your head.

Anyone know of an easy way to find a boat leak in about 4 hours fishing 4-5 gallons water. The bilge pump takes care of it but would like to fix if I can find it.

To each his own, I have 4 -12volt batteries a 76 lb in the back locked forward with a button up front for on/off and a 65 lb foot controlled in the front on a 15' aluminum with a 25 hp johnson long shaft electric start, two depth finders. My reasoning is i can fish bigger water or I can fish...

Chris, be sure and check the eyes on your rods. Sometimes the braid will chew thru the eyes on a less expensive rod. And never never never try and pull a snag out with barehand . voice of experience on both lol
