  1. I don't every expect to move there or even remotely consider the thought of taking a holiday there. We have enough idiots up here in our own governments to amuse me with incurring the cost of travel.
  2. Nice one, I can listen to them all day long.
  3. Better hope they're going downstream, cause going up might be like up the creek without a paddle.
  4. Might be something for a trolling motor. Even then, reverse could be a bit of a problem short of turning the whole motor 180 degrees. I don't think the tail flipper would be be very efficient.
  5. Nothing like the play by play of ball retrieval, nice.
  6. Who is the dealer so I can avoid them like the plague. Next thing they'll want to refill light bulb oil.
  7. I've used the med size yellow bird a few times with a downrigger rod, seems to work fine.
  8. Ya, keep mine in the boat, makes a great toilet seat.
  9. i like your left rear stickers, don't suppose there's any more available anywhere.
  10. I checked with them for car insurance a while back because of their claim of reduced rates for seniors. Complete bull wonky. they wanted about 500 more than my present company.
  11. 10 Amps is roughly 1000 watt, that 16 awg can handle that no problem at all even at 50' long.
  12. You can buy a whole lot of buckets and socks for that price.
  13. Well the only thing slightly positive, everyone can get out and fix their docks before the water comes back.
  14. X2, during charging the level can come up and overflow. Too late now.
  15. I've experienced both in use, for me it's a drift sock. Trolling plates are good if you're only trolling forward, a drift sock can be used in both directions, especially good when back trolling. If you're drift fishing for walleye, then the trolling plate is useless, the sock on the other hand can be hung off the side of the boat. I made my own from the top 3 inches of a 5 gallon bucket leaving the rim edges on. Then out with the sewing machine and made a long tapered cone from nylon with about a 4 inch hole. The upper edge doubled over with a 550 cord drawsting tight around the top of the bucket. It can 't collapse. I use it mostly for slow salmon trolling in the spring or when I'm alone in the boat downrigging, keeps me in a straight line.
  16. Well I wasn't 100% sure, but the Yamaha F40 does have a built in water/fuel separator with a little float.
  17. Which rock is that?
  18. You take it out and the valve from the tube goes there.
  19. P/A has small tire tubes for wheelbarrows. $3.99 item #8244618
  20. Ok, thanks.
  21. Dave is there any particular model, see through or not filter you're using. I'm toying with the idea of mounting one just to be on the safe side. Mines a 40 Yama 4 strk.
  22. Ya, I can remember the guys using dash cams with mic packs about 12-14 years ago, read only, no way to delete anything.
  23. If I'm not mistaken there's a bunch out there already.
  24. The eraser on the end of a pencil.
  25. Run the batteries in parallel through an isolator/combiner switch, lets you run #1 or #1 + #2 batteries while the main motor is running.
