Fisherman

Hard to believe, checked the link, still under 80lbs for a long shaft. www.honda-marine.com/mar_pdf/31882621.pdf

For safety sake, no, I wouldn't want it to drop off going down the highway. My old 84 Honda 7.5 weighed no were near, 100+, they are 72lbs.

Best 'o health to you Brian and for many years to come.

This one took a couple of minutes...Badly bent marine railway... You could advertise free launching for very large boats and then claim the first one bent it all to spagetti, make him pay for a new one... Honestly, hope it's not beyond the point of repair. Maybe snatch a couple of rails from some backwoods CN line, they're on strike and will never kow, I sure as poop won't tell.

Not so hasty, this may be the perfect time to do some spring cleaning, add a box of cold water Tide and take her for a ride up and down a bumpy road, see how much foam you can make.

Better that then Harrold Pecker.

There was one model a few years back that needed to have a cable guide installed on the boom to prevent the cable from jumping off the pulley, Scotty sent the guide post paid, two minutes to install, done, problem solved.

Scotty, tilt out of the way when not needed, lower power consumption than others and they are about the fastest retrive. Made in Canada, very good warranty, never had to use it in 10 years.

Sharp

How about going back to the original question, nothing to do with out of season, TRANSPORT OF LIVE FISH, legal or not?

Kinda difficult for live fish to swim around in your freezer eh?

"Overnight" charging with a solar panel?

For anyone interested that do their own maintenace on boat motors, Princess Autos next sale has the water flushing attachment for the lower unit on sale($4.99) along with the lower unit oil pump($5.99). Sale starts 10 April. There's also electrical anti corrosion spray, good for trailer connectors and also hitch pin locks. Makes things little cheaper for the DIYer.

No no no Merc, ya have to get the E-tick, it's so much more than ....sorry Wayne couldn't resist

Amen, that's my idea of it too, no pushing required, it's like a horse and water.

I think it's fortunate that there are rules about posting...my tongue and lip is getting sore. If you want to join a club to go fish that's fine, but it has nothing to do with taking a kid, yours or others fishing and starting a pleasurable pastime.

I got rid of the carpet on the bunks and got some "Glide Sliks", something like the sliders on snowmobiles, makes unloading/loading a whole lot easier, the stuff is like teflon, screws onto the top of the bunks, available at BPS.

Rivers only open from #89 north, not really considered the "uuper sections"

I wouldn't swear on it, but I thought CTC carried the Amsoil, 75/80-90 lower unit oil.

Ditto, No Brian, I didn't mean to lump all the 200HP + or- fishermen in the same boat, (it would have to be pretty big) , but, quite often you see the power hungry, look at me, have to make up for a small D, roar through the middle of the fishing pack types. You see it every year at the Perch Derby, and No Frank, driving the big boat should have zero influence whether or not a young person goes fishing or not. Not everyone can afford to make such purchases to keep up with the Jones or Adamos. The last bad encounter I had, about 2-3 years ago in Barrie around october, the two gabonies with the bass boats, from 0to60 in twenty feet, cause a massive wake to stop twenty feet further, whohaw and carry on like total idiots, ya, they were filming a show. And no, I don't own the lake or a cottage, I just try and do my best to respect those around there.

To quote" one day tournys and small HP boat" I'm quite happy with my small HP boat and extremely happy the less I see of the idiots roaring up and down the lake cause the fish just might be biting at the other end of the lake. 200HP boats and lots of noise is NOT what fishing about

Ya, we used to have a guy like him in the ice hut, set the hook, smash his knuckles and tip up on the roof of the hut. Good thing mono had a lot of stretch, some of those fish had some pretty elongated lips....

Good thing that's just a cloud and not a tsunami. Some wicked lightening bolts flying around here at 4pm.

Pretty open statement What did it do, break in two, stab you in the arse? Anything particular? I had a Cherrywood downrigger rod, had no issues at all with it, entry level rod, did what it was supposed to.
