  1. The MKA 21 bracket is the best one IMO...Simple installation, literally bolt the square down to the front of your boat with the provided hardware. Note out of the 4 that I have dealt with 2 of them were not bored out correctly and there was a catch where the post wouldnt go through the mount without using a hammer...simple solution, run a drill bit through it and file it out a little to widen the gap ever so slightly. It worked perfectly for me after removing the tiny "catch" Then mounting the reciptacle on the minkotta is literally just 6 bolts, three on each side of the kota when you take the cover off of it. a 5 minute job. For your wiring, you will want to check what guage the wire is that is installed in your boat. I would definitely suggest 8 guage minimum for a 24v system and a 60amp breaker. Your best bet is actually just to head to a car audio shop, they sell 8 guage wire by the foot and will be able to get you the appropriate fuse and waterproof holder for it. If you have never done wiring, I highly suggest learning the basics...for you it will be made even more simple by the fact that your boat is already wired correctly. You simply need to repeat what was already done, but this time with your batteries in series. Its all very very basic stuff though that would make for a great learning project for you with very very little risk of ruining anything.
  2. the city needed that one last night...weve got that vegas motivation now. Lets get em boys Toronto Strong
  3. ive heard that the whole "INCEL" angle might actually be a total hoax. from what I understand is that there is some issues with the timestamp of the postings vs the timing of the actual act. I guess it comes down to what people define as "terrorism" I stand corrected if terrorism absolutely has to be tied into a religious or political ideology. To me this individual committed a mass murder indiscriminately and inflicted "terror" on this entire city, hence I used the word terrorism. My girlfriend works where this all happened as well, she is very rattled by what she witnessed, multiple dead bodies bleeding out strung throughout the street. Not a good scene at all. So sad.
  4. the video now shows him literally saying "kill me" while aiming a cell phone or other object to the cop, and "shoot me in the head" and the cop continuously tells him to get down. That about sums up the fact he did it on purpose...call him what you want. hes a terrorist in my eyes. Man the bravery... Reports from law enforcement officials, the incident is being treated as deliberate.
  5. 2nd time since January toronto police have blown me away with their bravery. A guy dropped a hand gun right in front of me on new years eve...I hear a cop say "is that a gun?" and then just absolutely levels the guy with a tackle...no weapon pulled and that was that...imagine seeing a guy with a gun and thinking, im gonna tackle him to stop him, balls of steel.
  6. how is it anything but that? If hes white they might try and say he is "mentally ill" which is garbage... The guy intended to do it, and now video is surfacing of him trying to get the cops to shoot him by repeatedly pointing something at them as if it is a weapon/gun...incredible to cops keep their composure and take him down. Theres no denial of intent here, he was driving down the sidewalk in a rental van running people over and then tried to get the cops to shoot him.
  7. this is not good. My gf works at the scene...Apparently the guy was armed as well? oh boy. I have heard a few reports there might have been more than one person. https://www.cp24.com/news/driver-in-custody-after-multiple-pedestrians-struck-by-van-in-north-york-police-1.3898123
  8. here we go guys....lets take err to 7! GO LEAFS GO!
  9. I see that you pulled the trigger! I did as well, i found one out of the states that I am picking up when i head down in 3 weeks to south carolina. As crazy as it is, the mounting is nearly universal for all minkottas. Are you intending to install a quick release bracket. Also you may need to upgrade your wiring to account for the additional voltage? I could pretty much lay out absolutely everything that you would need to upgrade from one to the other if you outline what kind of boat you have and then what two motors you are swapping between. The actual mounting of the motor to the front of your boat is typically as simple as undoing a couple of bolts.
  10. I dont know about you, but when ive gone around there with the electronics running, there are a hell of a lot of eyes sitting there...they are timid buggers though.
  11. This crap is literally Peewee Hockey. I learned you take the pass in 2 on 1's when i first started playing hockey...why the hell two NHLers cant execute on this is beyond me.
  12. i will mention i had a compre MH baitcaster and it snapped right in half casting a 110 style bait last year...i was not impressed at all...
  13. i think his pricing is right about bang on...solid motor for sure
  14. pardon? They went from making the playoffs on the second last day of the year to breaking a single season record for wins and running into the best team in the east in round 1 because of the stupid playoff format. Can we not give boston some credit for how friggin good they are? The leafs have outplayed boston the last two games and Rask stole the game last night. The Leafs defense which we knew was bad...has been exposed....big surprise there? Take the experience...learn, improve the back end...I wont be surprised if nylander plus another piece get traded for a D man this off season at all. Also Mitch Marner has turned into the leafs best playmaker and could become one of the best in the league...remember how much he struggled at the beginning of the season...hes looked great this series...
  15. If anyone here wants a true gauge of how much Matt understands hockey...just remember this post. more like one player leaving (Erik) away from the team folding and moving to Seattle
  16. I will also add...spiderwire is the only braid that I have ever used that has worn to complete failure (separating into thin strands and fraying)...it also left a terrible coating of melted plastic all over my reels. Just not a fan of the stuff at all, I cannot believe that it is now more expensive than power pro...back in the day spider wire was "crap braid" and powerpro was the good stuff...then all of a sudden people started going off about how great spiderwire is and now its the most expensive braid of the three suffix pp and spider wire...go figure.
  17. cant hate on smallies on the fly...even the little guys are a riot.
  18. leafs played the better game and rask stole it...just like good goalies do sometimes. Kudos to him, he put up a hell of a performance. Leafs needed a game like that in game 1-2 of this series. Take it away and learn. I hope this is all a learning experience for AM...dude was invisible last night with bergeron out. Hes gotta elevate his game and learn how to do it.
  19. ive tried other braids and I just keep going back to power pro...and now there is a whole pile of counterfeit braid on the market. Just like everything else in fishing, it just keeps getting more expensive. If you get a chance to go to the United States, keep an eye out, last time I was down I was able to get spools of power pro for 14 dollars a spool. One thing is that Braid is by far the most cost efficient line. Mono and Fluro both get memory in them, so ya some people will run them for years and say "i never have a problem" but they arent fooling anyone...lets get serious if you are fishing plastic line, you best be changing it every season at a minimum. The stuff breaks down too. Braid on the other hand...really it doesnt go bad...it does wear out after a lot of use. It definitely doesnt have any memory though. So spool up your power pro, if you are only getting out a few times a year, it will last you a hell of a long time.
  20. www.dunamisrods.com Josh hand makes them, lifetime guarantee. Only downfall is that it might take a month to arrive.
  21. Im guessing old habits die hard? Reminds me of the guys that fish in pointe au baril in the fall for walleye...they all seem to do somewhat ok, but they all fish like the 1970's when you could throw a straight hook down in the water and pull out your 6 fish limit in 5 minutes. My dad taught me to fish...i learned the old ways, The same methods he used back in Manitoba when we used to pull a 25 fish limit in an hour. They sorta worked...then i took it upon myself to learn different techniques, how to read the water, what gear to use...sure enough ive got the whole family catching a hell of a lot more fish then we used to.
  22. I dont know, we seem to catch walleye incidently easier in the middle of summer on the kawarthas than anywhere else. I also caught my #2 PB walleye on chemong last year...I keep hearing of more and more 30 inch fish coming out of those lakes...Personally I am a huge fan of the "dont keep over size" slot rule rather than the contrary keep only below and above that is implemented up in FMZ 14. Last year i saw too many people keeping 8+ pound walleyes and I thought to myself why in the hell are they allowing this?
  23. john thanks for posting it in plain english, I totally understand what you are describing now even if I am a little slow. You are telling me.
  24. Funny enough I reached out to my friend who is a retired CO and he just got back to me. This was his reply “Hey Scott, your take on it is right . If the purpose is to high grade your catch as in any derby I’ve ever been part of u need an aerated live well with the capability of water exchange. Catch and release is immediately release. Like any derby, the plan is to keep the biggest fish which means u will be catching......retaining...... and then possibly releasing that fish if u catch a bigger one. For that u need a live well. Hope that makes sense.” Sooooo...maybe it’s not so clear?
  25. just to be clear...i dont think anyone here badmouthed the marina? I apologize if it was interpreted as an attack on your business. In fact I made it very clear during my conversation with the owner that the organizer would not be the person responsible for the transportation of the fish, that would be on the boater participating. The thread title is in the form of a question. It could be interpreted as negative, however it provides the opportunity for everyone to ensure that due dillegence is being performed by everyone involved. I dont believe any business or individual is free from scrutiny, and i can assure you that I brought the question to this forum to ask what the members here thought. In hindsight I guess the best course of action would have been to contact to the MNR directly? I thought that would have been a much more extreme measure then asking a question on a forum. I take full responsibility for being wrong if that is the case. I will reiterate that no interpretation of the rules were ever disagreed upon between the owner and I aside from me asking how individuals without livewells were able to participate, since my understanding was that in order to transport live fish required a properly circulated livewell as outlined in the fishing regulations. I brought that interpretation to the attention of the owner and he thanked me for the information. I am glad that due diligence was executed by the organizer to ensure that the stipulations outlined in the regulations are met.
