  1. Always someone trying to loosen your wallet with a screwdriver. Just talking to my bro a couple hours ago, he's 80 but not gullible. There's a bunch of scammers phoning him for payment for his hot water tank. It's been there for at least 15 years and I know he never misses paying any bills up front. I told him, next time tell them to come and give them the address of the local police station.
  2. Surprised to see that they said they are sending out a notification. I've been at the same address for over 25 years, no notification within 2 months of expiry. Anyway, got mine back by email today, looks same as the old one, saved copies, printed one off and promptly laminated it and it will go in the boat sealed box after supper.
  3. A little less bacon to drag around, easier on the knees and back.
  4. That's the (usually) yellow and blue plate riveted in the back corner of the hull about 2 x 3 inches with the hull number, manufacturer name, model of boat etc, weight allowance and, compliance number issued by Transport Canada I believe.
  5. No, mine expires in Feb 2022, just by chance I looked. You can renew 3 months ahead of expiry. Already got an email back saying it's accepted and should get an email copy in 2 weeks or so.
  6. Not hard to do, you should be able to find some youtube videos for that. You might have to get them balanced for equal output.
  7. Yup, 10 years, I think I missed it by 2.
  8. Well if there aren't enough hoops and loops in life to jump through, here's another. Took a look earlier today, aha, PCL is expiring in Feb 22. Go to the website for renewal, name, rank, service number, shoe size, etc. Now they want a picture of an acceptable gov't issued id and a full side picture of the boat along with hull number and hull compliance tag number.
  9. Friends don't let their friends buy Poop ATV's, if it's not broke down, it will be.
  10. Take a friend that knows sleds and their inner workings to help you inspect them. Some of the things to be aware of are motor seals, too worn they suck air and make it run lean and burn. Same for dirty carbs. Worn bearings, same. side to side movement, radial movement, same. Secondary clutch bearings, same. Track sliders for wear, becoming hard to find, even after market ones because of supply problems. Bogey bearings can still be found in stores that sell bearings. There's a start.
  11. From a very reliable source, parts are hard to get even for newer sleds of any brand, the cost of tracks has virtually doubled, other parts are almost impossible to get. Guys that have been ordering tracks from last spring to summer are still waiting. The shop he works in has requests from all across the country. when you go to buy, make sure it's not a basket case that needs a lot of work.
  12. Even 10X would be fantastic and the price much lower.
  13. If Australia can make this happen with sending production to you know where, they will have a pretty good business. https://graphenemg.com/energy-storage-solutions/aluminum-ion-battery/
  14. Yes that would work.
  15. How about one where the eye of the hook comes out behind the head to keep it level.
  16. Well I can believe that by the ratio of EV's compared to ICE's. Then you have to take into account of what caused the fire in a gas vehicle, did an electrical problem cause it or was it an actual fire started from leaking fuel.
  17. Just wait until the first one lights up and you're miles from shore.
  18. I think you need another look at basic electronics. 12 volts with 240 AMP/hrs will get you just as far as 24 volts with 120 Amp/hrs. Either way you get 2880 watts of power.
  19. Yes that can be done, just undo one of the 2AWG wires between the batteries when doing that.
  20. Yes you can use 2AWG, that way both batteries get identical use. You can charge them in parallel this way with one charger.

    GPS

    Any of the modest priced GPS from Garmin will do fine.
  22. Long story short. if you got that stuff on anything; it would turn it chalk white with-in minutes. Worked great keeping the flies away; but I made the mistake of wiping my hands (this crap burned) on the tan seat of my boat. After the sun hit it; it looked like it was tie-dyed; it pulled the colour right out of the seat. My wife used to have a bad habit of putting sunscreen on her arms and then get in the car, everything she touched or rubbed turned the black interior to smurf blue.
  23. Set the boat back and up on some wooden blocks like cribbing both sides at the back, start gently pulling the old trailer forward and about 2-3 feet from the bow add another support. When the new trailer arrives, just start cranking it onto the trailer. Been there done that with a 16 foot.
  24. Along with the cops not being interested, it's the judges and lawyers that keep the criminals out of jail to continue the process, arrest, in, and out, lawyers get paid.
  25. Back in the late '60's http://www.gogodiablo.com/wp-content/uploads/hus-ski-200-115-300x225.jpg
