    that looks like one of the main motor mounts that attaches to the hull. if the other one breaks due to stress you can loose your motor or injure someone.

      

    Its probably hard to tell from the pics but the broken area does not connect to the transom mounts and really doesn’t create major safety concerns.

    I have a lates 90s 2 stroke 25hp Mercury Sea Pro tiller steer outboard and managed to ding the shallow water drive when backing up the boat  in the dark. it was a $45 part but it also looks like one of the collars that supports it on the tilt bracket was broken. 

    It is probs less than 3/4” I thought about slapping on some JB weld marine, but thats probably a bad idea. First pic is the what it should look like, last 3 show the break.

    I know squat about welding. Could this be welded to repair it and could anyone suggest someone to do so in Tucson/Vail/Sonoita?

    Thanks for reading.

    *SPF*

    2014 Bowtech Insanity CPXL Left hand bow, bare bow $200

    Bought it as Bull Basin in Tucson sever years ago.

    Bow is 35" ATA and has 70# limbs. Currently set at 27.5" but cams are adjustable from 26.5-31"

    Camo Riser, black limbs. Limbs show some marks from being placed in a press but they are superficial/no cracks. String is from 2019 and I have the previous set as well.

    Bow is in Tucson.

    Will throw in a stokerized stabliizer, Trophy Taker Pronghorn rest, peep and machined aluminum  .19 pin site with at least 5 pins (old school made in Tucson one, think they were called "Sonoran") for another $100 if you want a complete set up.

    Here are some specs: http://compoundbowchoice.com/brands/bowtech/insanity-cpxl/review/

    I have no direct experience but I have a friend in Washington who is an avid flyfisherman said they are not worth the trouble.

    He is an active catch and release guy and said every fish he hooked he had to stress out to get back in with the system and it left him thinking it was more of a fish killer than anything else.

    SD later this week with the family...not going to get any fishing in, but any specific recommendations on where to see the big catches being brought in?

    Any of the landings first thing 5:30-7am, Seaforth or Fishermans. I was on the Polaris Supreme out of Seaforth.

    Thinking of going ASAP. 

    If you don’t have cow gear don’t be afraid to rent. I had a Mak 15 on full drag with 80# flouro leader Phenix Access 720HX full bendo and throbbing on the rail for close to and hour when the leader snapped, not at the knot. We had deep color at one point and the deck hand said the fish was 180-200#. I was undergunned. My hands hurt.

    Was in San Diego this last week, yellow fin was going good..

    The fleet is on Bluefin tuna right now, yellow fin probs won't appear for a few months.

    The bluefin fishing is good right now, and legit trophies are within 1.5 day fishing range. I just got back from a 3 day. None of the fish in the first pic are under 45# and several are well over 100#

    I looked at several firms in Tucson in 2006...and was not happy with the options.

    Things may have improved since then.

    Had it done in Dec 2006 in PHX Barnett Delaney Perkins...it was over $3k at that time and not the cheapest option but I figured your eyeballs are not something to go econo on. 15 years later I am only wearing glasses to read at night, still see great.
