Durn ingineers, always makin us handy guys look like idjits.... Thanks for the tip, Wayne, handy having an electrical engineer at our disposal Today was not a waste, I learned something.

take the motors into duke electric on Barton, they might be able to rewind them.

The first time I had that it was straight out of the shell, mmm mmmm GOOD! Mind I was in Belguim at the time, boy can they cook there.

You REALLY need to get mobile again, don't you?? Thanks for the read (s)!

I am planning on drifting a big creek, the Niagara.

I'm in the same boat, I'm up for it, heck we can even go in my boat....

How it was:

How about Saturday morning cartoons, Bugs bunny, mighty mouse, all in glorious black and white.

I am going to drop the motor, and see if that makes a difference, spun hubs and all that are way to early to diagnose, it has only been run 1/2 hour by a very inexperienced captain. BTW no rubber in the prop either. The fellow who rigged the motor was not the most impressive guy I met. He has a NGD attitude about the whole thing. (NGD = nobody gives a damn)

I also need driving lessons, I am afraid of the up trim button.

It had a bent pin in the wiring harness that was preventing #4 from firing. As well, two cracked coil drivers and a cracked starter soleniod. It runs like a scalded cat now though....

I was finally able to launch my boat today with a running motor. This is the restored 1985 370V that i have been working on this year. I launched in Hamilton harbour, and after warm up, I trolled out to the main water and punched it. 3 second hole shot. Top speed is unknown as my GPS is not working right now but I was impressed. Bayfront park to the Skyway bridge in 4 minutes of face freezing exhiliration. Now on to the questions...I had the prop break loose on me twice, (blow out) and the hull swung out and got back in line right away, so I am wondering if I have the motor too high? It is on a 6" manual jackplate set at I think 3.5" below the pad. The motor is a 2004 150HP Optimax. Any input is welcome.

If you don't show up, Kenzy's gonna Merder you.....

A very good rendition of the Halleluja chorus.

Thanks to both of you. I will run it past my brother in law and see what he thinks.

That is some nasty looking weather you were going through!

But use your Hummingbird to help you get there.....

Can those be caught near Abbotsford? I am going to be there the first weekend of Dec.

Wayne there is the ethics aspect of it, would I be able to do to another as I would not want to have done to me?

What are the legal ramifications of a wife giving away a boat from a husband that has left her? I saw an ad on a board that was offering just that.

I was in Goderich today and saw two guys returning from the river with two very nice steelheads in hand. Pity I was working.

I can't make it, my motor is still not repaired......

You forgot Joey.....
