  1. Without ducks it sure wouldn't be much fun to be a duck hunter would it? I support DU, have for years. I have been on 3 committees (all successful by the way). I think the whole thing of DU vs DW is ridiculous. They are both good organizations, support one or both but don't bash them. It's for the ducks remember! I personally will support both of them this year. I figure the more organizations we support the better chance we have for helping the ducks!

     

     

    Well said my friend;)

  2. After doing some research and talking to some dealers it looks like a jet on my 40hp mercury with my boat wouldn't be much more than a strong trolling motor:eek: It looks like I will need a bigger motor to get some decent perfomance. I priced the Mercury Optimax 80hp Jet at $6885 so I need to start saving.

  3. Any of you guys have experience with an outboard jet drive on your boat? I was thinking about upgrading from my 40 hp mercury to a jet. I asked a guy on the river today if he liked his and he said it was a pain in the butt with a lot upkeep, just wondering if this is the norm or if he just had some bad luck. I don't know anyone else that has one so any info would be appreciated.

  4. I heard there were problems with cycling. Is that true?

     

     

    I just recently found out if you have cycling problems more than likely it's your fault as I wasn't using the right oil. My SBE is the best gun I have ever owned.

  5. I'm glad to hear it's working better!

    Good to have you on the forums too.

    Stick around and help us sportsmen keep those quasi-commandos like Duggan and M1014 in check ;)

     

     

    Thanks Tucker! I'm glad to be here. I spend a little time on Archery Talk but I'm glad I found this forum, I'm a huge Benelli fan. I was starting to get worried about my SBE because the fellas I hunt with were just bragging last week that I never have problems and I have them convinced on getting a Benelli. The fault lays on me for not lubing her up good.

  6. Thanks for all the help fellas. It performed flawlessly this morning, it ended up raining and was warmer than expected but I could tell a huge difference just by cycling it manually. I had a small bottle of the Outers oil in a gun cleaning kit my wife got me for my birthday this year and it seemed to do the trick. I will pick up some of the oils you guys recommended and once again thanks for the advice.
