...when I went out to run it the horn kept going off and the no oil light would come on. Called Waypoint and I have to take it back to them tomorrow. On top of that I only caught 3 undersized trout on that one drift.

Seems like you are having a string of bad luck with the boat. Hopefully you get it all resolved quickly and get back to fishin!

Gotta say, your fishing luck is much better than your boating luck. Trust you're back in action soon.

Hey Tom, sounds like it might be a rigging or computer programing issue.
Have Sean look at it.

Took it back in this morning. There was an air bubble in the oil line. Sensor wasn't getting oil on it so therefore it would sound the alarm and go to safe mode. . Got it taken care of this morning. That's the good news. The bad news is that ShallowSport helped me get the boat in the water and we fished after that and didn't catch a thing. Maybe four or five undersized fish. The only keeper I hooked I acted like an amateur and lost it. But it's good having my own boat and having it run. It runs so much better than the 140 Suzuki. It just jumps up on plane with with no problems. Jeff at Waypoint contacted Dargel and matched the prop to the motor and my boat. Works great

Glad to hear the boat has been repowered. Curious what speed your getting now.
Jeff at Waypoint is good people.

Don't have the speedometer but it goes a lot better than that 140 Suzuki.]
