I am late to this video but you could have drilled the holes out just a hair and push the same size bolt thru the transm but before you do that smire jb weld around the holes insert bolts and drill same holes thru said umhw to match . then counter sink the holes for lock nuts .then mount transducer to the umhw n the transm with nylon lock nuts make sure your bolts are just long enough to bolt the transducer to the transom

James, I’ve been away from fishing for about 6 years. We moved to the country, and long story short, I took up gardening. Now I’ve got the fishing bug again, and I’ve also discovered KZbin in that time. In looking for anglers to follow, your name was right at the top. I’ve always enjoyed your insight, and you have a great ability to teach. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in so many ways! I’m also a brother in Christ, so my question is, how is your Bible reading going? Nothing like God’s Word to keep us grounded. I’ll be rooting for you on the trail, and in the area of personal devotion to our Lord. Blessings, brother!

Hey James. if you could do it over again, rather than having to mess with the hitch extension would you rather have a long bed that would eliminate your need for the hitch extension? i am asking because i am fixin to buy either a short bed or long bed...cant decide. thanks

I’ve been using 3M VHB double sided foam tape for decades now. Consider that as an option, I used it to attach my 12’ cherry bar rail to the granite bar when my fabricator didn’t route the correct profile on the front edge. That was in 2006, no issues at all with it. I’ve also used it all over our travel trailers.

I live in big bass heaven, Northeast Texas. About 95% of my fishing is done at night. Three tips I have, that I have proven that works at night are, you mentioned the first one. 1)- rattles 2)- scent. I like the chartreuse garlic dip-N-glow, or smelly jelly. 3)-now this one is my own secret, and that is Alcaselzer. Whether a hollow bodied frog, or a hollow crawworm. I just break off a small piece, stick it in the hollow spot of the crawworm, then insert the hook at the end of the crawworm, trapping the Alcaselzer inside. It is usually good for about 3-5 cast.

It is half a san diego jam knot . Same way i tie my san diego jam although double the line thru the eye . But i tie it pretty fast and use that same action spinning the lure around 6 times . Although the san diego jam is much tougher to cinch and clip

@@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 I generally use my swimbaits "Keitecs" as jigs on the bottom when needed for smallmouth esp. Hard to believe a tubebait isn't on the list either but the swimbait can be used to replace so many lures , very versatile.

Mate, that moon symbol in the top left corner of your ranger ride system should be a light dimmer for the screen if you tap on it you should see that your screen gets a little darker.

I love everything about the 208 except the "ride" screen system. If this rig had regurlar analog gauges, i would love it even more. Having a screen there is just asking for issues for me personally. I'd break it somehow. Plus, i wonder how that screen can handle the sun beating on it all the time?? If the aluminum holds up structural wise, this is a perfect rig. Some of the tin rigs with big HP engines are slowly tearing apart from the stress. If ranger has this perfected, then tjis is a dream boat for me.
@jameslovelace89583 ай бұрын
With the Lowrance on the console and vessel view on the engine you can have those gauges on the depth finder. I have that on mine and I love it.
@NCshooter12133 ай бұрын
@jameslovelace8958 that's true. Running vessel view on the lowrance solves that issue for sure. I can't help myself I don't trust those screen thr newer boats are coming with. I'm the type of guy that if I buy a new boat I plan to keep it 20 years. That's the only reason I think about that type of stuff. My 98 champion 203 is going strong but if something major ever happens to it the boat your showcasing would be my choice
