Fisherman

You have a submarine?

No solo, you aren't the only one, I do the majority of the shopping local because the store's open 24/7 and, I figure it's better to have the items you want with you, rather than not being able to find or get them en route or at your destination.

Oh my god, what do you do when it comes to bedroom fun.

Well, not the best morning by any stretch of the imagination, fished out in the open area, in close to shore, by the Narrows, very, very few fish. Went in by one of the Marinas on the north side of the Narrows, not anchored, some guy came out and gave us a tongue lashing, claims they own the land under the water. I will follow up on that. Then the thunderstorm started, get back to the launch, what a disaster, I swear I'll never go to that derby again on weekends, too many idiots that can't understand launch etiquette and haven't got a clue how to back up, launch or retieve a boat. To top it off, CRACK, lightening hit the transformer pole right outside the weigh station across the road at Perch HQ, half deaf from that strike. Fish tonight..no I'm having a couple of bratwurst, and they will taste good whether they like it or not.

Had a BF, only needed if it's work truck.

Now I gotta find someone who'll pump up my ballon tires wit helium..

As long as the previous owner didn't use it as a cement mixer.. then all should be okay. Check compression by slowly pulling the starter through a complete cycle. Maybe have the owner remove the sparkplug and check for oil fouling which may indicate ring or valve seal problems. I just picked up a 1990's 8Hp, thanks to Big Cliffs manual, found the part numbers for the impeller, and carb gasket that needed replacing. One pull and it runs like a ...Honda, no smoke or shaking.

I checked the link and sublink and came up with this portion under exceptions for light duty trailers. In this case I was informed they only use the tongue weight of the trailer added to the trucks weight to make sure you are under the 4500kg rule. The "Vehicle Permits Regulation", made under the Highway Traffic Act, provides an exemption for light trailers, specifically; "where a trailer transmits to the highway a total weight of 2,800 kilograms (6,173 lb.) or less, that weight shall not be included in determining registered gross weight".

An easy method to use the pump for those where the supplied fitting will not screw into the lower unit. Find one of those little plastic tips that either screws on or snaps over a tube of silicone glue or glue bottles, cut just enough off the tip to get it into the threaded fill hole, stuff the end of the pump fitting in the larger end, presto, one size fits all. Drain the lower oil, replace the screw loosely, pump til the oil comes out the top screw, tighten the top screw, remove and quickly replace the lower screw.

You might want to remember that lakers and whities don't open in Simcoe for a few more weeks yet.

Hm..learn something new every day, heat does a lot of damage to tires, didn't think it would get that bad.

Yup, 5 gallon pail, 550 cord tied directly through a couple holes in the upper ring around the bucket. Poke a few 1 inch holes in the bottom, makes them track straighter.

Hmm, seems a bit steep for an installation. 2 guys pick up or use the shop lift to put the motor on the transom and install 4 bolts. Attach steering tube and remote unit to the side. I've always had good luck with Sturgeon Point Marina at Wasaga Beach(east end in front of the orange building) not the "other" one. They are a Honda dealer too.

What is tread roll?

The problem is he has old gas in the tank, hose and carb..inside the inner workings of the carb. Shooting carb cleaner down the throat will clean just that, not where the jet, float/needle are located and all of the other tiny passages. "Degunkifying" a carb requires removal, dissasembly, cleaning and assembly. Then drain the tank and hose. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean the tank too. Didn't take the 5 minutes last fall...

I had the same size on my travel trailer, it works out to a 205/75/14 Load range C. You can go one size larger to a 215/75/14 Load range C, they have a a bit more margin of weight capacity for a few dollars more.

I know it's kind of difficult for some people to grasp the idea of the YELLOW pages, but that would be a good place to start..

Ha, seen ya this mornin, didn't look a day over 25. Bet that's not what the wife says. Happy B Day.

Check fire..check fire, aw jeez it's only Wayne buzzing around up there...lets air condition his wings..

Went by the Barrie Marina this morning, one of the CO's was making his rounds, sure nuff caught one guy, had his old licence, swore up and down he put the new one in his wallet. Make a photocopy or two and put it in a plastic envelope in the tackle box, make an other and keep it with the boat papers.

I just tried their number, 705-323-9111, no answer, maybe try again later.

One thing I noticed on your trailer, the safety cables, they don't have safety clips on the hooks.

Oh, can you please post the reference for that. Hate to see someone get dinged..

Easiest way to determine long or short..measure from the top of the transom to the bottom of the hull where you plan on mounting the motor. 15-16 inches is a short shaft, 20 inches give or take a bit is for a long shaft. Remember that if you add a bracket that lowers the motor, you may end up flooding the motor with big waves that follow the boat.

One thing I learned a long time ago, if she washing your clothes make sure YOUR wallet isn't in the pockets. Oh, and it pays to print off 2 copies of the paper licence.
