  1. Great going.. I think that might be only the second time this year I have seen Erie calm
  2. Great going steve, I was out there last week with ya, It was funny, I was out there before you came out, then I see you coming and it was like a duck with ducklings.. all the boats lineing up behind you trolling along Winds in the right direction and I am busy
  3. There could be a few but outside the mouths but right now is like chocolate milk with lots of junk getting washed down.
  4. cool and sad.. WWI how things would have been different if they had only killed hitler
  5. I went too Home Depot and got a over size cork for mine, Works great!! Yes I get a few laughs when people see the cork but I find the livewell is great for keeping stuff cool and dry
  6. Great post, No issue with not telling, If your outfitter wanted lots of business he can post here if he/she prefers too keep it quiet thats a business choice. No one owns the lake so I would keep it quiet
  7. WOW man now thats lots of information thanks. I think I am going too try a suggestion of just putting in a hose into the tank and "suck" directly. If this does not work the issue is with the engine. The engine worked fine from end of May too July 1st then all this,
  8. Yeap Roy, thought of that too. Took the entire assembly appart and used an Air hose to clean everything. Same issue. The Boat is going back into the shop on Wed, I will tell them if they think its the Tank to replace it all and If its not see if I can return it. Bpro is not sure what the issue is either,
  9. Hey All: Well my new 2008 engine is giving me grief, well it could be the engine. Its a 40-hp 4st merc. When I say its brand new its a 2008 model put on this year. Now made in china but I don't think its the cause Basically when I go too WOT I stall out, not enough too stop the engine but it sputters then when I go back too mid range it works fine. I can go all the way upto WOT for a few seconds then putters. Its not bad fuel as I thought it might be too and replaced it with all fresh fuel. I think it has something too do with the fuel running out. Where in the chain that occurs is my issue. AND THE UPDATE **** I changed and cleared everthing I could think off.. Again Fresh fuel, Cleared all the lines with an Air Hose, Cleared the intake screen.. Everthing I could think of. Still no fix.. Of to Bass Pro where I purchased et.. $200.00 later I am told it was gas filters apparently there are 2 and they needed changing. After only running for say 60 hours ok., I give maybe bad fuel something got in there.. So I pay the cash and walk out happy the boat is fixed. Prior to going out again, I empty all the gas vacume out the tank, clear all the screens with air, do it all again just too make sure. First try out Same thing, Here is a video what its doing The Engine will run at WOT if I take my time getting there and I mean really taking my time run at full for a bit then slowly and I mean slowly click the trim until I am up too full speed... Please help!! Really makes me want my 25Hp back
  10. Story of my life, bought it then 6 months later Truck sales plundge, gas prices up.. Truck has more payments left than its worth. Stuck, Stuck, and Stuck on well.
  11. Most sail boats and larger boats have a grounding rod that pushes the hit into the water. I have been out in all sorts of storms on a sail boat where going to "shore" is not really an option. ~ I think I must have been a few min ahead of you at bronte, that was a great storm. When I hear the thunder I leave the water no matter how far away it seems as it can travel fast. Mother Nature can be a mean BiT$CH when she wants to be don't temp it
  12. As a dodge dakota owner .. by a ford, GM, Toyota, horse, buggy anything else.
  13. yummmy PERCH thanks for the vid Terry
  14. She was a good boat, I remember fishing beside you for Perch. With Muskybill Kids today, think there own room is a right!! haha I did not get my own room til my older sister eventually moved out. Oh well I feel for ya
  15. Wow, I was out fishing at bronte and watch that storm roll in (I was off the water just as the rain started) Could have been worse ... SNOW!!
  16. I did lots of investigation on the Garmin and was not impressed. I would stick to a company that knows there stuff.
  17. I think I was the king of not getting on a plane when loaded down. Some of the thing like others have noted. Propsize. can make a differene but watch the RPM's. trim is everything,. trim all the way down and bring her up as you push power. I found a back fin helped me and the worst part I have to get people to move more too the centre of the boat even with the new 40 hp to get on a plane faster Good luck
  18. If you see Noah go by can you please let me know.. http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cf...b1=6&Sub2=5
  19. very nice, now that you have it you will wonder how you did without it
  20. Welcome Yan. For a your first time salmon fishing, better too cast spoons, flatfish, wigglers. Best time too do this is late Aug into mid Sept. It gets busy out there so arrive early Fishing in with baits is also fun but requires a little more skil riggigng, hookset etcl. You can use the hook up section here too see if you can join someone going to teach you the finer points. Stay safe and post results
