  1. I have a 2008 - 90 merc and It has a label printed right on it for 25-40. On the 9.9 yam it says 10-30..
  2. Parts can come from NA made from Steel from China, rubber from India, and assembled in Mexico. World market place normally to the lowest bidder
  3. Canada bought GM stock to prop up the company. This is done based on Capital exposure. When the stock is worthless companies are forced into bankruptcy by Canada owning stock it added stability. Once GM was stable Canada sold the stock in small amounts over time. Canada owns no stock. Since they do not have any stock they lose the rights of a shareholder to have any say. The loans of cash was in addition to this.
  4. There is a business case for the closing. You just can't compete in Canada in manufacturing. Tossing more money after bad is not going to help. GM can close the plant as they said.. but I think they still own Canada a bit https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/loans-canada-account-finance-auto-sector-bailout-2009-gm-chrysler-1.4722529 Don't let them take one piece of hardware to move it to Mexico until they paid back our Money. As for the loss of jobs. I have known a number of companies getting rid of employee's and not a word from government but when its the auto sector its different? Ask someone in Alberta how the Feds are helping them https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/100000-jobless-energy-workers-struggle-for-a-place-in-the-new-economy Job losses are going to be the new norm for a few years to come until Canada starts acting like a country and standing up for the middle class. This is not a USA / Mexico / Canada / China issue. It's we just need fair policy and environment to compete. This weird notion that the high tech sector will save us all ended in 2001 when they figured off-shoring was cheaper than workers in Canada. Until our leaders realize that you can only hire so many new government workers before you run out of money expect more of the same.
  5. All about the clarity of the water . Copper, dipsy and boards get it away from the boat. Ontario still has clarity issues where lake Huron you can see your spoons 30' down
  6. Fishhawk is great on Lake 0 with some of the currents but you can always tell by the rigger cable if your going too slow or fast. Paddle wheel on the back also does not count for currents. You can have a top water speed of 5 mph but below only 2 - mph 50- feet down. GPS is the most accurate but its a combination of information. Fish don't care how fast \slow your gong its all about the action of the bait and the mood their in.
  7. unfortunately insurance will not payout without a body.
  8. I put a external fuel filter/water separator on my boat this year. Only run high test and a little sea foam. One more filter is good. No problems so far
  9. Its October always rough.. The Friday the 13th mini-crash was a stock market crash that occurred on Friday, October 13, 1989. The crash - referred to by some as "Black Friday" In finance, Black Monday refers to Monday, October 19,1987, when stock markets around the world crashed. The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as theStock Market Crash of 1929 or the Great Crash, is the stock market crash that occurred in late October, 1929. It started on October 24 ("Black Thursday") and continued until October 29, 1929("Black Tuesday"), when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed.
  10. nice going. takes a lot to go out and try something new.
  11. Sad event. Reminder to always put on your pfd. RIP
  12. Love the video.. Not to promote a brand but the Garmin auto mapping is out of this world. If your on the lake so much you could create your own.
  13. They say to always look for the fine print in anything you buy. https://www8.garmin.com/maps/onthewater/newchartguarantee/ Notice in the small print at the bottom only ¹Limit 1 free update per device or card. New Chart Guarantee valid within 12 months of purchase. I purchased the EchoMap Chirp in Early April read the instructions follow the updates.. Now less that 3 months on there is a new Map update please pay $77.00 .. No details that I can find on what is in the update. At least with other Navionics you could get 1st year free update and it would list whats in the update. Not worth the money to pay for an update just sort of ticks me off as a customer.
  14. basic ignorance .. Canada can't build refineries. Don't build it here not good for the environment.. Send oil (job's) to US refine it send it back to Canada .. oh that's better.
  15. Safe travels.. look forward to the report!!
  16. Pick me up on the way Marty. Road trip !!!
  17. They will just move it to china. With Ontario in such a noncompetitive environment moving here is tough. Once it leaves nothing is moving back. tariffs only hurts the end consumer. Governments get more money and industry just passes on the cost. If US has 20% tariff and Canada puts a 20% tariff this is a equal business environment. No winner
