snowmobile slams into ice hut on Chemong Lake
ecmilley replied to chessy's topic in General Discussion
hey guys long time no post but here's my thoughts on this as a sledder and a fisherman; with this really being the second year for the kawarthas ice fishing it is sometimes hard to remember that we have been running these lakes on our sleds long before the huts came along and sometimes they get put in traditional trails area's on the lakes, reflectors are greatly appreciated, just to identify another obstacle , i don't drive overly fast at night even when i know the area now just never know who is moving a sled to a different spot ( i came real close to a black clam the other night and was doing maybe 45km/h). we as sledders have a responsibility to ride in a safe manner as well and not go out and try and buzz other user groups of the lakes also there is no roads lines or boundrys but ther is something called respect we all need to embrace it. -
Dan as usual it's up to how you read it, if the air bag deployed we know thw seat belt retractors also used up, hence they won't operate as intended. the customer might get po'ed at me but it's my license. when or if the car became involved in an accident we both know that same customer would be at our door with the lawsuit

get the safety done mike, if the air bags went off it a little more than just replacing two air bags, most likely seat belt retractors maybe a sensor could be a bit of$$$$ i won't pass a safety on a car with the air bag light on. triton engine are decent but like there fuel, hope who ever had it first did some maintenance on it, you won't like removing the cylnder heads to do a tune up. I wouldn't worry about performance right now, save your cash for fishin stuff if you need to go fast get a mustang

mike rod's that are 6'8 to 7'2 in MH are your best all round bass fishing rods, the only technique that's difficult with a longer rod is skipping under docks and such. In saying that mh rods can vary by manufacture, my favorite combo is a stradic 2500 with a 15 lb braid 10 lb seagar leaders I think it's a 6'8 mh crucial skips, wackys, jigs 3/16 oz no problems and light as well, but also have compre's with symetreys, carrot stix ect all work very well just have to get used to them

at tires will be ok in snow most of the at tires on the market have a snowflake symbol on them. The snow tires will be much better in icy conditions as they are made with compounds that stay pliable at low temps, you can't go wrong with the blizzaks always been a dependable tire, overall if you have a dedicated set of summer tires than go for the snow tires

Legends of our sport, switch to Quantum rods and reels!
ecmilley replied to uglyfish's topic in General Discussion
as long as the money is coming out of my pocket I'll stick with my st. croix and shimano products, now if someone wants to sponers me. i even use a hanna montana rod and tell you it's great -
you gotta go out and feel them out, I use a shimano core mvg flippin reel and i wouldn't part with it, but i also have a couple quantum's work ok as well, just have to remember what i feel comfortable using others may not

Can a new car starter wrongly installed drain a battery
ecmilley replied to mr blizzard's topic in General Discussion
most likey its the battery and unrelated to the repair, but check the cables for tightness first, as batterys usually fail the first couple hot days of the year (avaerage battery life these days appears to be about 3 years -
as I understand it, it's a warranty against defects and it is very unlikley a rod would fail after 7 or 8 years if wasn't dinged by a weight or something to that effect, i 've had many rods fail that were defective and they failed in the first or second outing. Still v-rods are great rods but i can see where shimano is coming from and i wouldn't be happy if i was stuck with one that just up and broke
-
awesome day congrats and i am sure a couple of those bows will be great in the smoker

I have a legend tournement telescoping it's had no problem hauling hawgs out of the slop and it sensitive and light to boot, i paired it with a core pitchen reel and it's awesome

Where to get a outboard rebuilt in the kawartha area
ecmilley replied to ecmilley's topic in General Discussion
thanks, i'am pretty sure you dealt with the same guy up in my area, and i'll never use him again -
looks like I need to put a piston in a 150 intruder and the guy I had lined up to do it stood me up for the second time. don't have time or the space to do it myself and have no idea who does this work around here.
-
couldn't see the factory prop being that far off, are you sure everything else is ok, fuel pick ups, filter ect. is there any other issues like hole shot ect.
-
I' ve dealt with dt for some parts for my ranger and my yammy sled great people. awesome boat the 6 series have been on my mind a while great all around boat. so need a fishing partner to help break it in?
-
swordfish happy it worked out for you, and your happy with your boat. on a more intresting fact i found a omc manual a 73-91 that would cover your engine if you want it it's yours.

Lew opinions vary, but I won't mix products, I'll use stabil for longer term storage, and seafoam in day to day running as it has water removing, and cleaning propertys as well as stabilizing, but changing it up certainly can't hurt. in my 4-stroke sled (yammy) i use the yamaha fuel stablizer and conditioner so far 4 years no problems and it's cheap at 5 bucks a bottle
