some do 6000 litres some do more

uggg. people are the worst. Wonder how much water these bombers pick up...sounds like a time for google...

Doesn't seem to matter where one goes these days Lew, stupidity runs rampant. I saw another video about a month ago, same thing, different lake, airplane and boat.

no check before turn?

unreel

Hard to believe some people some guys are so stupid.

Same here. My 9 yr old Merc has performed flawlessly. Buddy's always comment about how effortlessly it starts even when stone cold...it's like instant on when you turn the key, you never even hear the starter. Didn't want it initially, but the deal on the package was too good to pass up. I had also had 25hp Merc for 20 years, which I then passed on to my brother who has still has it after another 20 years...still runs like a top, never been in the shop once. On the other hand, I once had a Merc 65hp 2 stroke triple....that literally blew up on me...to the point that folks on the lake called the fire department... I also had a 9.9 Yammy as a kicker on an I/O boat. Ran fine once it started...but it was always reluctant to fire up. Needed a new starter after 5 years. You never know...

I've been there too, but those were the Mercs of old and I too called them "black anchors," back in the day, but times have changed. My Yamaha and Honda friends have stated on a number of occasions how well my "Merc" performs and how quiet it is compared to theirs. Trust me, when I was shopping out my boat, I didn't want the Merc but my dealer said "trust me," so I did and as I have previously stated, no regrets.

Hahaha, I swore after going out wit a guy who had a Merc that left us rowing a few times, never again.

Your age is showing Fisherman. My 2006 Merc has been a dream.

Just fish lice by the looks of it. I have seen them lots on speckled trout...and yeah, I was expecting a pic of Justin as well

I remember you catching that hog. 😁

You'll get no complaints from me Phil. Dandy fish indeed! Anyone wanting to jump in with more Daddy/Daughter fishing pictures, please do so.

Don't mean to step on your thread, can't help with the lake but I have the same problem with my youngest daughter and some of the fish she catches.

Dam Ron that is a fat bow. Congrats

So I just talked to them and they are a Mercury dealer for sure but they were not aware that it wasn't listed anywhere on their website so he will inform the boss and get that rectified.

Hahahaha, Thanks Barry, but ya I have 3 children at 30 plus years of age. This is the daughter, (Madison, middle child) who is going to Wolfe Lake. This was last year, maybe two years ago on the the lower Grand River, Dunnville. She won't hold the big Cat's she catches.

I didn't think you were old enough Spiel to have a daughter with a family.

I still have the site on my favorite bar as I used it looking for dealers.. and I went down the list of dealers...

I would lean more t the Yamaha product, seems like black anchors are a cause of heahaches.

If you click on visit website for Bay Marine on that link they don't show it as a a merc dealer like Crowman posted. Someone screwed up.

Maybe I'm missing something, but are Deer Haven and Bay Marine Authorized Mercury Dealers ?

Personally I think shutting down a couple of weeks earlier (mid August) would be prudent.

Yes, makes perfect sense. Shut down the clown show during the Salmon run, but allow more opportunities for Steelhead and Browns later in the autumn.
