Are there any bad a$$ mods for these Eskimo augers mine is a 51 shark 8. If not there should be
Anyone have a leaky gas cap problem or know how to fix it? I have a Mako 43 8" auger
mako 43 going strong yet after 4 years? yup. what a reliable auger, cept for the poor design on the old gas tanks.but looking at pulling the trigger on the new HC40 8''. what do you guys think about the new high compression propane model?
Have you checked the gasket in the cap? I read once the gasket gets tweaked or twisted and can cause this. Others have just changed theirs out.
I think its a great idea to use propane,and its not $500 like the Jijjy.Unless you like to wait a year to get some user reviews,I think its it the best deal on the market right now.The gas augers never impressed me with the leaking and the potential of gas smell transfer to your lures.I know it was my first addition to my arsenal this year,before that it was all hand augers.Buy them early i think the HC40 are going to be a hot seller this year.yea for 450$ that dont sound to bad. maybe a little heavy, i might lose some CC's but im not worried about speed. so you have bought one already? if so, what is the weight comparison ?
pending on how old your auger is, it might be your tank it self.. i had to replace mine with the "strapped" tank instead of the crappy screw in. now i have that with the ventless cap.
Can't get anything other then the Chinese Made ones now. I have 2 sets as well and I just touch them up after every other day of use. Keep one sharp and then when you take off a pair put the others on. Just make sure you touch them up when you do.
one of the new sets I put on my 10" blade
Is that for all their blades? I bought two sets last winter because I drilled in dirty ice, I sharpen them all myself and they seemed to hold up after sharpening.But now that you mention it, one of the new sets I put on my 10" blade seemed to not be as quick at cutting like a previous set. Sharpened it up and it cut better.
Have you seen any Swedish blades around ? They seem to hold an edge better/longer.
Just got a new Mako the other day. Went from using the stingray. 275 to my door.
