Congrats Cliff!!!! OK, what you need to do now is take pics (with Sue in the boat) and post them TO ME!!!! I'm very happy for the both of you Bud.

I'll see what I can do, my Honey.

I'll be there at the same time as Joey......by pure happenstance. Everyone, please drive safely...I'll be leaving here Thursday after my work...prolly be having a snooze in Mattawa. Joey, you need anything from here?

The 500 series manual you got with the unit should tell you where to install the transducer...have you read that?

It's a good price my friend and from someone who's trustworthy and well known here, I'd say you can get out and buy the new one now. Have a great day!

Thought I'd bump this to see if someone could give Mike some solid advice.

Good morning Mike. Last season I sold my 1999, 30HP Mariner because I wanted to max out the boat with a 4 stroke. (I bought a 60hp 4stroke tiller) Everyone reckoned that the 30 was worth about $2,500....it had no more than 150 hours on it. It ran great and was quite silent for a 2 stroke, electric start. That motor never let me down it's just that the boat was under powered. My neighbour needed a motor...I went to a dealer and he kindly offered me $1,000 for it. I turned it down and gave it to my neighbour for $1,000 with a set a new spare plugs, a new gas tank (he has no built-in tank) and 3 new props. He's happy as a pig in poop right now and takes it out every other day. I would say that if that 25hp Yammy is in reasonable condition, it should be worth $2,000. at least.

What a beautiful fish they are. Yanno, I've probably caught every species of North American freshwater fish and lots of saltwater but for some reason I just never got a brown. Maybe I'll pick one up before I hit the BIG gates. Congrats to you.

I was just trying to have a quiet supper here. Find another topic please and speak quietly amongst yourselves. Thank you.

I hear ya, Rob.

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to hearing some stories.

Here's an update. Yesterday I begrudgingly ordered that 18V power pack for the drill. With taxes and shipping it came to $89.00...yes, that's for ONE battery. They were sopposed to send it to the nearest Sears counter and I would pick it up next Tuesday. Well, this morning I received my whackload of weekly fliers so I'm eyeballing those with a coffee in hand. Lo and behold...a Sears flyer. I look through that and find a 19.2V 1.2" drill, two batteries, the 1 hour charger, a light all in a case. Reg. price $239.00 on sale for $119.00. I called the Sears place and cancelled the battery purchase. The kids will pick the new 19.2V drill for me on the weekend while I'm at Lakair. I guess you could say that I succumbed to the throw away society's little game.

That's very well put, John, and probably the closest thing to the truth.

I don't have one but they look and sound like a great rod. Maybe a bit pricey for me though. What would you be teaming it up with, Matt?

Well said, Lakeshore.

Seriously, why would you start a thread with the belief that it might get pulled? I would think that the best people to ask would be the folks at WFN.

Oh sure, you have Miss Fern but when you drop in to see me, you bring Wayne with you. Great report Dan. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the info, guys. I appreciate it.

I still have the old brace and bit and it works fine for me......but when you need to do a simple little thing whether it be at the back of the yard or on a ladder in a cathedral ceiling....the cordless is useful.

A few years ago, (3 I think) I bought a Craftsman 18V cordless drill. The drill, the one hour charger and the two power packs were on super special at $79.95 or something of the sort. It's been very handy to have and lately, the power packs just won't charge. Too much usage I guess. So, I went to Sears (Craftsman) on the weekend to buy two new 18V packs. They didn't have any as they say they are all 19.2V now. I asked where I can get them and they gave me the number to Sears service here. I called this morning...I wanted two packs delivered to me...how much? She says they are $72.95 plus tax plus $6.00 for shipping... EACH! What the hell? The 19.2V power packs are $59 off the shelf at Sears! Ok so I ordered one instead of two...I guess they want me to buy a new 19.2V cordless. I read on the net that you can fix them yourself for about $13.... I don't know anything about that. I'm starting to really dislike this 'throw away' society. Any tips?

I think it was Andre Laforce with a 7lb 2oz

No more blood to be drawn from this one. Take it to PM please.

Wash your feet John.

I don't think you'll find much in the way of a combo unit for that price, you'll be much better off using all your money for a sonar unit. I like Lowrance, lots of bang for the buck!

In the "Grand" scheme of things, it won't make a difference. How did it fall off though? It's pinned the the bottom of the trailer and bungied at the top?
