    Well Barrie closed the Tiffin St boat launch and parking area to non residents, Innisfil did the same including the park and beach.

    It's outright gouging doesn't matter how you look at it. If they want to reduce the influx, then make it for residents only. No exchange of money required.

    Just blasted through here going eastbound, lasted 5 minutes, now just a nice grass refreshing rain.

    Oh so lets push the union stuff again. There are companies out there that do quite well without blood sucking unions to skim off the top.

    That's not worth the gas to get to work and back.

    Only for annual non resident permits.

    Georgian Bay, the odd winter Nippissing trip and a little further northwest. With parking fee's increase, Simcoe can go pound weeds.

    Well here's the outcome of the last Barrie counsel meeting, they too are getting greedy. I will take as much of my spending elsewhere. A motion increasing non-resident parking rates to $10 an hour from $3 and the daily maximum parking rate to $50 from $20, effective July 2, 2020, in Barrie’s waterfront parking areas, was approved by City Council. The motion also states that Enforcement Services Branch staff ask Ontario’s Ministry of the Attorney General to increase the early payment fine to $75 from $20, and increase the set fine to $100 from $30, for paid parking infractions in the waterfront area. These increases would better align Barrie with its neighbouring municipalities which have waterfront parking. In addition, the City’s seasonal non-resident parking pass will increase to $130 from $90 - except for residents of Innisfil and the townships of Essa, Springwater and Oro-Medonte, who can continue to pay $90 for the annual pass. City staff say approximately 35% of waterfront parking hours are used by non-Barrie residents, in lots which include Johnson Beach. Parking fine revenues are used to cover the cost of enforcement; the intent is to drive compliance by ensuring a financial incentive to pay for parking, rather than running the risk of receiving an expensive ticket. The motion passed by City Council also suspends paid parking in downtown Barrie until September 8, 2020, to help support its economic recovery.

    Possibility that it belongs in the spool itself?

    Looking at others, I found it may be a "click spring" doesn't show where though. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/click-spring-p-1540425.html

    All you need is a single 12v DC gauge with an "A" and "B" switch. Very simple. This one is priced right too. https://www.amazon.ca/MICTUNING-Display-Voltmeter-Waterproof-Motorcycle/dp/B078LVLHNF?ref_=s9_apbd_otopr_hd_bw_bA0An0t&pf_rd_r=8W8B20VZ3ZEGB4PG4NDT&pf_rd_p=b9d872f6-bc7c-5da0-ac83-45c2f1e947f9&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_t=BROWSE&pf_rd_i=9163900011 There's also this one although on a small rectangular platform with 2 of the above gauges, about 2 x 4 inches. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000453281421.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.344654595pYfaX&algo_pvid=0b4a6d9b-7054-4058-b545-bf4c79eb6515&algo_expid=0b4a6d9b-7054-4058-b545-bf4c79eb6515-0&btsid=0ab6f83a15934515673462575e6031&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

    Well looks like Barrie is getting greedy too, they're just about to vote on the augmenting the non resident parking to $50 a day at the municipal lots. The citiots figure people will park further inside the city to visit stores and spend money. If people are going to the beach/boat launch, then I'd surmise their initial intention was to go to the beach, not shopping.
  18. Fisherman
    You have to cut your boat in half for that stuff to really work well, lol.
  19. Fisherman
    Figured it was time for a nudge to those who gap and forget to maintain their winter F/F or Flasher batteries along with the underwater cameras. Do it now or pay later, lol.
  20. Fisherman
    Half deaf, wacky knees, sore cranky back, eyes still working, lol. When you get ready to do the job, clean the surface really well with either 0000 steel wool or a small stainless brush. Clean the area with either lacquer thinner or acetone and wipe clean.

    Picture #2, is that a crack below the X?

    I would avoid going that route of filling the boat. Boat hulls are designed to take the pressure from the outside inwards, not the other way around. Filling it even partially will further stretch the rivet points and seals to the point that the leaks will just increase. Just my opinion.

    Well, ya didn't say that. Anyway from F/B, is what I got. Bluffer's Park Marina They are, in the future please call 311 as they are the owners of the Toronto Public Launch and know the schedule better then us. Thank-you. I just don't know how you would call 311 from up in the sticks.

    The annoying thing is, Barrie opened the Tiffin launch and parking lot to NON Residents about 2 weeks ago and now has closed it again. On one of the "other" boards I went through some grrrr, because Barrie didn't quite think the process through of a NON resident with a Vets plate or blue Disabled card could park and launch for free. Then a short while back they implemented the $10 + HST fee for launching on top for NON residents. So how does a NON resident pay for only launching? There's no separate button or input on the machine. I had to poke about 10 different people at City Hall before I got the answer. Oh we didn't think of that situation. So you input the smallest amount possible for parking and an extra $10 + HST will be added automatically. Then they change their mind and close it off to non residents again. I used to spend a fair bit of money in Barrie, they can pound dry pine cones for all I care now.
