NGK model IZFR6J gapped at 0.32-0.33” is the spec. Be prepared for some sticker shock if this is your first time buying, they run $15-$20 each

Correction, I grabbed the ProXS spark plug model. The ones on my boat are IZFR5G. That’s the recommended one for all standard Optimaxes. Sorry about that.

I didn’t see the 8 lber. That’s an absolute stud.

They made it tough on me with the quick turn around after the delay but I’ll have them out tonight

It’s hit and miss. Typically pretty strong in events with more historical data like the last 2 will have. I’ve tweaked it a couple times this season to account for some things I noticed. I haven’t kept up with the scoring total but I’ll add that up tomorrow and let you know.

Currently it would have 8058 points, sitting in 41st place out of 255 in the LJM Outdoors group. Completely bombed at Toledo Bend (587 points) in the first event of the season where some of the factors that it looks at didn’t have any/enough information. Since then it has averaged 1067 points per tournament with a high of 1255 at Harris and low of 863 at Smith.

@@LJMOutdoors1 thanks for the response! Love your channel and effort

If memory serves(it usually doesn’t) inside the cowling on the port side of the motor. My model has 2 relays which are often the culprit on trim issues. Do you have movement in one direction or neither?

@@LJMOutdoors1 thanks! I was able to open it up. I get intermittent movement. Sometimes both work and other times neither work. I think it almost all or nothing. Last summer the tilt motor sounded weaker but always worked. This season is when it completely stops working but 10 minutes later works again.

@chadsmith3663 I would have to look at mine, but I believe there are 2 connectors where the trim motor meets the controls inside the cowling. I would unhook and connect those directly to power and verify your trim motor is working properly. You should be able to connect directly to power and see it working Up or down and then swap polarity admins it will go the other way. Based on what you’re describing, solenoid does sound likely, I would just verify the trim motor works before I started chasing those parts since it’s an easy test.

Man I’ve been bad at that. I’m rolling with 68 pounds. 17 a day would be really good for Smith.

@@LJMOutdoors1 Greetings from the BIG SKY. I went with 74 pounds even, myself.

🔥🔥

@@LucasBassFishing Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. I called 62-4.

I’m up in Canada fishing so I’m a little out of the loop, but I haven’t heard anything that would have me change so I’m rolling as is.

I’m not familiar with that specific motor, my best guess would be you got a bit of water in your trim switch on the motor and it made enough of a connection to activate. Either that or you somehow got enough water inside the motor and into the trim relay to short it. I would definitely lean toward the trim switch on the motor though.

Tilt systems are self bleeding so you don’t need to leave the screw out. You may need to add a little more fluid after you cycle it a few times though.

What happens if I take that fill cap off and fluid is gushing out? Did the last guy over fill this thing or is there another problem? It was showing signs of a leak around the actuator shaft seal.

@saramahood3219 Probably just a difference in level of the ground boat when it was filled last. The more the nose is tilted down, the more you will be able to put in (to a point). I would t be overly concerned about that, some came out of mine when I opened it up too. If you have a leak, you could also have some air in the system that needs purged too.

If I am I hope you have a really good tournament Jim!

There are no technical issues, this is just the quality you get when a guy like me starts a channel. Good luck to you, dear

Planning to get it recorded and put out as soon as I get home from work today

Yeah with a pond the size of that one I wasn’t going to pony up for a Texas Hunter or anything like that. We just moved to a place with a much bigger one so we’ll see. I’ll probably run that one until it craps out and then upgrade.

69 . 12

We were close, I went with 70 even.

I don’t know that I’ll get it out. Was planning to put it out yesterday and wife got sick. For what it’s worth, I’m rolling with Walters, Benton, Lester, Cox, and Davis Jr for this one.

Check that, uploading right now. Should be available in 30 minutes or so

You never caught a bluegill with a firecracker Richard? Lol

Didn’t think about it until I had already recorded. I’ll have my good cameras back for future videos. Thanks for watching!

I think we see big weights. Good conditions plus I think FFS pushes the weights up a bit. I’m going 102 pounds.
