Latest $8 upgrade. 1/4“ stainless wafer head self tapping screws and binder clips. Works pretty good.

Looks good!

I was checking out the brackets that hold your Talons. Are those a special type of bracket, or do all Talons have that style? They are really nice looking. Very nice looking boat too!

 

[Idriller]

They actually have two styles but they basically look alike I believe. One bolts onto the side of your jack plate and the other bolts onto between the motor and transom. Mine bolt onto the side of the jack plate.

Idriller,
I was reading about the trouble you had with one of your vortex hubs slinging grease. What was the cause? I just installed the vortex hubs on the two front wheels and have not had a change to run a long haul yet. I am getting ready to make a run to Michigan about 1200 miles for some small mouth on Lake St. Clare.

The starboard rear hub was slinging grease out of the back of the hub. Couldn’t really see it until you launched the boat. Grease would be all over the backside of the brake rotor and the inward side of the rim and tire. Shop never really stated what the problem was but they replaced both hubs on that axle. I’m assuming it was seal related. No problems since then and it has several hundred miles on it.

Well I am back and after 3500 miles 0 problems with the trailer or boat. The first run was about 8 hours before we stopped got out and touched the hubs and they were not even warm, WOW !

Idriller,
I really like the fender covers how thick are they?

 

[Larry Williams]

Glad you had a trouible free trip! Did you get to catch some fish?

 

[jerry shack]

Yes I did, I fished 8 lakes and 2 dams. We caught small mouth, large mouth, pike, walleye, rock bass. The bigger fish can from Lake St. Clare. That lake beat me up super rough.
