Well there you go, loose connector, that's the "ghost" voltage I was talking about, enough to show on the meter but not enough to run any load. Glad all worked out for you.

I would like to see +12v and -12V when you attach the voltmeter wires, red one to the blue nut and black one to the yellow nut at the solenoid, ATV running, switch in both in and out. There's a possibility that the switch is activating the solenoid, you say it clicks but the contacts inside the solenoid may be bad. Too bad you're down in the city or I would come by.

Ok, power at the solenoid when the switch is pressed for either in or out, When your voltmeter is connected to the yellow and blue, you get either +12V or -12V when you press the switch in or out. Is that happening? And you tested the winch by bypassing with booster cables, so it's not the winch. Maybe a bad/loose connector on the 2 wires from the solenoid to the winch, that's the only thing left in my book. One more thing to watch are "ghost" voltages, it may show you 12V but as soon as you put a load on it, there's no current behind it, and nothing will work. Extra brainfart, just for the sake of doing it, use the booster cables between the winch and the solenoid to see if it works.

I use the 1803 med hvy 8' with the #0 dipsy and it puts a pretty good bend in it.

Those are really good prices.

Well that serves me right for being XL

What size please.

The ramp and parking lot and grassed areas are all pretty much bare, so I guess you could unload right at the ramp. There's no pressure cracks or heaved up areas by the ramp. Way further north you can see the pressure crack, probably around the 10th line

Tybo, I was just up at IBP this morning to check the access, all is well. First couple of feet there's a bit of water sandwiched between ice, after that it's solid.

Not that I could find, cars trucks and down to motorcycles, didn't mention ATV's or snowmobiles. But, I would make dam sure there's no lien against it, maybe a trip to get it checked by a mechanic if you're not sure and get registration upon sale.

Hahaha, almost looks like a barber pole on steroids. Pretty good idea.

What Sinker said, Superior installed remote gauges which notifies them it's time to refill. Never had an empty tank after that.

Yes, interesting for sure. I'm sure that will drag on for a long time.

Piece of straight PEX pipe, 1/2 or 3/4 is all you need with some zip tied pool noodle around the top.

Lol, time you can fruitfully expend walking around on the ice finding the right spot with good deals on fish.

Great place to go and catch the flue bug, lol.

What he said.

Ok, thought I let out the smoke Genie, lol

Did an update happen or maybe it was me, whats with all the stuff along the right side in General Topics, can't figure out how to get rid of it. Recent and Popular topcis keep popping up.

I can only say on my old one it had a 200 kHz transducer and I could mark a 1/4 ounce jig in 100 FOW. same with any of the small williams spoons, etc.

Quite the machine, remember seeing the one on #11 eons ago, way up on the pole. Read somewhere there were a couple of mishaps with ATV's going for a plop in the cracks, both got rescued.

Big thing is to start with a good fully charged battery, make sure all connectors are clean and tight. Make sure the power/transducer cables are not corroded and fully inserted. There are currents in the water and sometimes your jig or whatever you use may not show because it's outside the zone.

Pretty sad that you have to go south to get the meds.

Bear Creek, very well run operation.

Wonder what the outcome of the story is. Somebody should be in jail.
