  1. Thanks for sharing. Now if only shows on TV were like that.
  2. Thanks Lew I just emailed them in North Bay this morning to see what they want me to do. I guess I have to take it to the Purolator depot here in Hamilton. Sounds good. I must say Humminbird have been good with me on the phone trying to solve the Problem.
  3. Id say 50-1 also, I know when I had my 1961 10HP Evinrude they didn't have 50 to 1 oil, we used 1 Quart of 30 sae regular to 5 GALLONS of gas.
  4. Your right Dave, sure makes you wonder. I hope there going to pay the shipping. Your probably right Terry, just makes you mad you buy a new machine and they have to take it apart and monkey with it, plus I have to ship it out to North Bay
  5. I talk to Humminbird service this morning and they want me to send my unit in. Now I have to ship it to North Bay, thats the closest service depot in Ont. They told me they mite have to put something inside. Man, if I would have known
  6. Very good, should I ask, is that what you do for a living? That stuff should be on TV . Make a good commercial for product.
  7. Happy Birthday Roy, don't forget to blow all those candles out in one breath, at least that's what they told me.
  8. I've been there a few times HT. That's who told me about the tinfoil. I went back and they were stumped. They also said they could order Ferrite cores if needed.
  9. Thats exactly what mine does, same noise.
  10. I tried that Bill, pulled the trans cable and the noise is still there. My GPS on the unit the antenna is internal Thanks Bill Soon as I pull the antenna the noise goes away, dead quite Thanks Dave
  11. If I had a party, you would be the first on my list.
  12. Noise is still there. I bought some ferrite cores in Burlington place called Sayal. tried them on the cable and power lines and nothing, still noise. On my FF & GPS combo I disconnected my trans cable and the noise is still there, it's got to be the GPS. I hooked up a different VHF radio on a battery away from my boat and antenna, 30'away from my boat as I walked near the boat with the antenna in hand about 8' away the noise came on the radio. I've been searching the net and this seems to be quite a problem with no answers. I'm not giving up, as dave524 give Radio World a call and I'm going to call Humminbird. Thanks guys for your help
  13. You guys would be a HIT at a Beach Boy's Concert. 1st prize for sure I guess I better clean my closet out, my wife has been on me for years. So you guys think my shirts are funny. You hurt my feelings I love those shirts, only to go back to the days. 50's & 60's
  14. Plus something to think about in my post about Static on VHF radio.
  15. I had damage to the screen on my portable handheld GPS from something sharp in my survival suit pocket. I took most of the scratches out with my Dremal polishing tool with compound cream. Be careful, go light. Just a thought.
  16. Trying to keep the wires hid is the big problem Home Town, The FF and radio will only go under the dash and windshield to keep them dry and out of the way. Thanks anyway Thanks Lew, I went to a electronics place and they told me to wrap the cables with tin foil, one roll later and still noise I'll try and move everything to the back and see what happens. Thanks I've been looking for Ferrite Core Noise suppressors, got any idea were I can get them Terry. I think I have one place left to try. Thanks Terry I called the marina and he said the noise was from the GPS Combo and to give Humminbird a call, I did and he said go get a PC11 noise suppressor and try that. The machine I bought is Humminbird 587ci Combo with the Fish"N"Chip It's a new machine. Thanks Fisherman What we do to catch a stupid fish Thanks guys Got my work cut out tomorrow
  17. Brian, I thought they changed the name to Crackers
  18. With a nice cooler of Perch like that, Who would ever want to eat a Lake erie hog Walleye. Nice cooler of Perch and to top it off having the kids out to enjoy.
  19. Just bought a GPS-Depth-finder combo. since I hooked it up I've had static on the VHF sometimes you have to turn the squelch all the way sometimes, then you don't get anything. I've tried just about everything, when I think I've got it, the noise comes back. I moved the power wire, tried separate battery, different Ant. The noise goes away when I turn off the finder. Anyone run into this problem or have any ideas to solve the static, besides turning the radio off. I don't have any hair left
  20. I used to go there with my dad about 50 years ago. I can remember us fishing for lake Trout off one of the Islands with minnows for trout. He called his secret spot the twin Birches. Those trees are probably gone now Years later I used to snowmobile across the lake and through the bush to Kimble Lake, was great ice fishing for lake Trout. But I think it's a fish sanctuary now. Kawagama used to be called Hollow Lake by some of the locals back then. I think the lodge we stayed at was called Hollow Lake Lodge.
  21. Weekend at Bernies Twins Grumpy Old Men Something About Mary And Me Watching Spiel catching A Sheephead
  22. I bought the 43 Kilometers Motorola's and I'm lucky to get 1 mile , if that's any help.
  23. I use what is the cheapest, I just filled for a $1.09 Lt. on the Rezz.. If my gas sits longer than 3 weeks I use Stabilizer. Why would anyone buy a motor that burns the most expensive gas?
  24. Big Gull is good early June or last week of May for Walleye. Thats my go-to lake every year for a week. Kirk Kove. After that you have to fish deep for Walleye. There is Bass, Pike, and a few Muskie there, but we don't target them. I love the Lake early 85% crown land. no boaters or personal water crafters to bug you, summer could be a different story. Lots of structure, watch the rocks.
