  1. Small cottage...1500sq/ft, no wonder housing is so expensive, heck we've had our 1000 sq/ft house raised 2 kids in it and lived within means.
  2. No it doesn't have to be full, mine never was at any time, it sort of lay there at a 45 degree and always had a small air pocket. I don't suppose you have the specs to check the timing? There's marks on the flywheel and cam that have to line up,
  3. And you probably eat chicken eggs. It's a 100% C&R so the P3TA freaks wouldn't have much to howl about. Just a good tourism and fishing boost.
  4. I wonder if any letters to the Minister have been initiated to let him know how crazy this is. Dear Minister Mauro: I was shocked while reading some angling websites today regarding the chance at Ontario hosting an international event, namely the 2017 World Carp Championships in Ontario. Your decision to pass on hosting this prestigious event which encompasses world wide tourism and nature is beyond comprehension. A simple variance in the rules to allow some changes for a few days can easily be accommodated. Various levels of Government make short variances to rules, ie, allow motor car racing on public streets, closing major roadways for cycling, running and pedestrian events that raise substantial amounts of money. Tourism for one could use a great boost with an event like this and you choose to deny it. Again, this is beyond comprehension. I don’t believe it’s too late to take another look at this world wide event and let some of Ontario shine. Sincerely
  5. He has the right prop, same as what was on mine. Like someone else mentioned you may be only running on 2 cylinders. Friend of mine has a Princecraft 14.5 Fisherman similar to yours with a 30 Honda, that thing goes trans warp. Just for chits & giggles, while you're tied up at the dock and in neutral running, pull each one of the spark plug wires off one at a time and see if you notice any difference.
  6. Take them out, charge them, then let them sit idle for 24 hrs(no charger, nothing attached) and have them load tested. Batteries can show a full charge upwards of 13.2-13.5 volts but don't have the current to back it up. I had one truck battery this past winter that showed 12.8 volts, only 50 amp on a load test that should have been around 800.
  7. Ministry of Numpties and Retards. After hearing another story this weekend from up around the Spanish area, their minimum pass percentage must be pretty feeble.
  8. Going by the pictures, the pin that goes in the trim holes should most likely be in the center one, I guessing your bow may be plowing and not getting up high enough. It's unfortunate you're are fair distance away otherwise I'd give you a set a fins I had on mine. It made the world of difference getting up on plane and flying.
  9. My 25 Honda was on a 16' Princecraft and with 2 people I could get 37-38kmh or about 25MPH.
  10. Coulda, shoulda, woulda, too late now, however, if someone else is doing the poking and measuring, I confirm before a drill starts turning. The dealer would be putting in a new interior transom with a wide and high enough 3/16" aluminum plate on the exterior, properly sealed with 3M5200, none of that silicone -----.
  11. Done, there's still some work to be done there.
  12. Might want to talk to the guy that's always on radio on Saturdays, Lior Samfiru. google his name, apparently quite good.
  13. Yup, the high thrust motors are intended more for slow speed, definitely not going to win any races.
  14. Yup, nothing more than a bunch of self entitled freeloaders.
  15. CT doesn't carry them, (at least in Barrie). Also checked PA this morning, they didn't either. I think a piece of 1" od, 3/4" id iron pipe would work.
  16. I use 7 x 50, they don't have the shake issue. The second number is important for light gathering in low light conditions. The bigger the number, the better they work.
  17. Oh, so we take an extra minute or two looking for the smartphone and let the fish expire "just a little bit more" so you can get it on video showing it that it won't live and you get to take it home. Then you become part of the small unscrupulous bunch that uses that provision. There is a rule already in place, respect it and live with it.
  18. Did you get a bill of sale? Somewhere on the tongue it should have the VIN and capacities. Either shorten the tongue and call it a home made trailer and register it as such. You may have to get it inspected.
  19. I bought a 6 x 10 enclosed cargo trailer for the ATV and ice hut. Although under the 1300kg/3000lb limit, I added trailer brakes for added safety. I hummed and hawed about a drop down ramp door or barn doors. If your ramp door is not evenly supported on the ground and you drive on it, it may get warped. I went with the double barn doors and made my own ramps from 2 x 10 hemlock, ramp ends are available at PA. Again if you think you may be adding tracks onto the ATV for winter use, make sure the door opening and trailer are wide enough to accomodate them. The trailer also serves as my bedroom when going hunting or ATVing for extended periods.
  20. And when the buckets full, be sure to empty it downwind..
  21. I had a couple of those at the camp, I have to remember not to wear my hat with red trim, one kept trying to poke me.
  22. Yes, just make sure it's not one of "those" trailers that MTO looks for, you know, gun tape, baler twine and bubble gum holding things together.
  23. Take the carb apart, let the parts sit in carb cleaner for a day or two and then air blast them. Most likely all gummed up, that's what happens if they're not stored properly.
