  1. The technical term for that substance is GUNK. Keep cleaning out your hoses and it will be fine.
  2. Suck it up.....
  3. Almost as bad as throwing a minnowy looking carving with hooks on it attached to a line... Good policing IMHO, much the like Halton police taxi cab.
  4. The best knot to use for this procedure is the Timber Hitch. Google it if you don't know it.
  5. That is an encouraging sign, Dave. You and yours are in our prayers.
  6. It is threads like that one that have caused me to become a lurker and not a contributor.
  7. Call the OPP or local police, they will have to respond to a complaint of a "crime in progress". (Am I correct in saying that F&A?)
  8. Your impeller should be changed every two years at a minimum, ideally every year. As for gaining speed, the reason a boat gets dialed in is so that you are able to run at the most efficient rate possible. My Ranger can hit 57 - 58 MPH, but rarely goes over 40.
  9. I agree with Hirk, (heck he is VERY knowledgeable on these matters), your water pressure seems a bit low. I run a 2004 opti as well, 150 hp, and all the research that I have done indicated that 3 1/2" below the pad is the sweet spot for most Rangers. You may want to check this page out: http://www.kencook.net/Setupart.html or look at other Bass Boat boards as well, BBC comes to mind as a good resource. Good luck getting her dialed in!
  10. Just think Wayne, hit one with your prop and instant pate'.....
  11. If they are peanut butter I am willing to help... What Mercman said.
  12. Here is a copy of the man card:
  13. Here is a story,possibly fiction and possibly fact: One day two men and a boy went fishing together and were having a wonderful time, no fish were to be seen, except for some that decided to flip their middle fin at the trio. One of the trio is a well respected outdoors-man and fisherman. The other two members of the trio can be described as wanting and willing to learn from the master. truth be told, one of the members has the advantage of many more years of training ahead of him, the last member of the trio, well he can be described as having more horsepower than brains. This horsepower comes into play as a possible explanation of the loss of the camera. The theory being put forward can be explained by physics. When air travels over a surface that has a protuberance it will create what is called uplift, and the greater the wind speed, the greater the lift. One of these individuals that makes up the trio, deals with this issue in his daily work designing assemblies that are placed on the rooftops of buildings. He should have know better that to create the amount of lift required to vacuum a relatively lightweight piece of equipment off the deck of a boat. The key wind speed in this case happened to be 47 MPH - coincidently the speed of the boat over the water at the time of the alleged incident. This is merely one theory that is being postulated as an explanation for the loss of the said camera. So OFC fact or fiction????
  14. The rootertail is the clue needed. You are trimmed too high, for optimal "traction" your roostertail should be about the same height as the top of the cowl.
  15. Look here: http://www.kencook.net/Setupart.html
  16. With 1.5 acres to cut, I don't worry about thatching or aerating or fertilizing even. So long as it is green.
  17. It's been awhile so...... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TzwF72B2F2w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  18. Look on Spoonpullers lots of guides there.
  19. Totally untraceable. A couple rolls here a couple rolls there.....
  20. Look at the Mossberg package as well. My son in law has that and quite likes it.
  21. The motors look like re-branded Tohatsus in my opinion.
  22. As well, if you go to Port Maitland there is a free launch there. You could also launch on the opposite side of the river or at the Dunville boat club just behind the Beer store.
  23. I was thinking you might be a good candidate as well Moosebunk.
  24. You're right Mike, I cannot ever recall Pikeslayer becoming upset due to an unfortunate occurrence. He is a man with a very even keel, especially when he loses a expensive piece of equipment in 300 feet of water.
