I ran Kevlar for a few years. FYI. It is prone to nicks any being much thinner messes up your depths on your downrigger counter.
anyone know where I can buy some of these "Hot Balls"????
I heard they catch a mountain of fish...best part is, they are cooked once they reach the boat.
I couldn't locate the problem until the swim ladder was removed and we discovered that there was a wire crimped behind the bolts attaching it, creating a leak. So, we were creating an electric current from the boat most of the season and still had no problem whacking them.
I had the same thought. Also might be the grounding wire for the fuel tanks (if Aluminum tanks).Searun, this crimped wire you mentioned... Did it have a green colored insulation, and was it wired into all of the other metal in the boat, especially the metal thru-hulls, etc that comes in contact with seawater? If so, you may have removed your Bonding Conductor, a critital piece of the vessel grounding system connected to your negative post on your battery.
