Re: tips on running through weeds Hit it runnin and pull up on the tiller hard, if you start to stop raise the motor out while wide open and slam it back into the weeds.
If the weeds ball up on the prop take it out of the water and rev it up. _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |
