[quote]I only got two years(8k) out of one of mine, so definitely keep an eye on them. but you really shouldnt be putting any grease in them from what I have heard. also make sure you use the lucas grease if you do[/quote] I only use that Lucas grease. keep a spare tube and the grease gun loaded...

[quote]They say 6 years, mine lasted 6 years and two months before I blew one out, by then I just bought new axles and replaced everything.[/quote] Did you ever do anything to them in that 6 years? Any warning sign or next you know you were changing the hub on the side of the road? My boat ri...

Whats the longest you've gone without pumping grease in vortex hubs? I have the non-break version with the screw on cap. It just seems odd not to put in new grease but it does say maintenance free to 100,000 miles. I've pumped new grease a few times, and its always clean good looking grease start...

Visited the inlaws and pulled my Uncle J and 25 hp Gator Tail over from Houston. Boat is running good now that Delta figured out I had a machined defect in my carb restricting fuel. I need to put a trolling motor on this boat now that it looks like it'll work out. Thursday evening - Tchefuncte ...

Dis dem? I though I remembered them after watching some of these spank and cast videos. [link=(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKP7QqDhYhY)]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKP7QqDhYhY[/link] [link=(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K71ImkAWII)]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K71ImkAWII[/link]...

[quote]With the 25hp and those mods you should be seeing better rpms and speeds than that. The limiter is set at 4750 rpms so I don’t know why you are getting such low rpms. If that’s the stock prop your performance should be better than that. Are going WOT with about 1/2 to 1/3 of prop still in the...

Uncle J 18x48 open layout mod v pointed bow with a GTR 25 hp XD with Delta mods level 2-3. Upper Texas Coast on the ICW has some places with 25hp restriction so it looks just like a stock 25 with a BPS Q exhuast. I have 10 hours on it all with just me and 50 lbs of gear. This is with the standa...

thanks to all for the info. I'm not as worried about top-end speed unless what drives that translates to getting in and out of shallow boggy areas. Or i need to look for a 25hp mud motor with high low-end torque...

Anybody every run a 25hp surface drive or long tail on a 17x50 .125 flat bottom aluminum? How much better would a surface drive push the boat than a long tail? Here is what I'm trying to do. Looking to sell a 15 yr old 18' CC fiberglass tunnel hull with 150 hp outboard to get aluminum flat ...

is that 600lb rating the tongue weight? How big of a boat and trailer do you think one person could move with one of those?...

Understood.....thanks....

What makes a mud boat then? Jet drive, inboard, etc? A SwampShark? I just assumed any flat bottomed aluminum with an air cooled motor was a mud boat...

Is this considered mud boat or surface drive? [img]http://prodigyboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_5687.JPG[/img] [img]http://gatortraxboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/jbarnes1best.jpg[/img] Anybody ever change out their motor by season? Seems like if you kept it all tiller woul...

pardon my ignorance, but I thought you put a surface drive outboard on a mud boat? Anybody ever done interchangeable motors on their duck boat? I'm thinking about getting a gator trax type custom build and putting a jack plate on there with a 40-50 hp tiller water cooled and swapping out with a ...

any waterfowl hunting in Bayou La Croix Preserve?...

I've done three ways in order of best to worst: 1. Debone and cut up into about half inch to inch pieces. Add to chili when you put in your chili plate ground meat after cooking down the trinity. I cooked in cast iron dutch oven and let my chili simmer for a good while with the lid on. You ge...

from looking at your other posts I'm guessing Chambers County? Anahuac NWR gave me an asswhooping Saturday when I picked a pond far off the road never having scouted the refuge. Thought it would be a solid ground walk out so I took a big bag of dekes and a bucket and never made it the 700 yds ...

I didn't know Majek made it out of Texas. Makes sense for shallow water...
