AKRISONER

dude, i need to go fly fishing with you one day. I have quite literally never fly fished with anyone that knows what the hell they are doing, ive had to learn everything entirely on my own and I know that I am 100% missing a lot of the puzzle pieces when it comes to fly selection and presenting submerged flies in rivers. These are unreal by the way.

If you drop 100k on a ranger with a pro xs the least they could do is throw in a TM

I did I bought all new caps and seals but am still waiting for them to arrive. In the interim I’m considering just filling up the reservoir as a temporary fix until parts arrive. My assumption is that the leak won’t be as bad because it’s warmer than when I put my boat away in the fall. I’ve got a wrench off of amazon that I will need to slightly grind down in order to fit around the ram. The arms are slightly too thick and don’t allow for fitment. I’m going to grind the arms down, the pins at least fit perfectly so that’s lucky. im going to try and follow your instructions on how to fill the reservoir. my plan is to park the boat on a hill with the nose down, chalk the heck out of the wheels and then drop the tongue on the ground to get the nose aimed way down hill. if I am understanding correctly, I should then fill the reservoir as full as I can, then manually lift the motor up and then down again and then let it sit and repeat this process until I can’t fill any additional fluid into the reservoir.

how do you troll without a trolling motor?

the bass boat central forums are full of stories from where the air is warmer and the boats are out in droves. Guys saying last weekend on lake of the ozarks was like the 4th of July...Thats why the ramps are closed. Party boats, people tying boats together, people congregating and swimming in the same areas. Once again, if you actually want to go fishing that bad...you easily can, you just might not be able to fish out of the launch at heritage park in barrie or crystal beach on simcoe is all.

so inherently what you are implying is that theres lots of "essential businesses that shouldnt be open" but the guy that has to hang out and monitor the boat ramp to save the idiots from themselves and from everyone else, while also sanitizing the boat ramp machine is essential? If you need to get the boat out...there are many ways to do so without using a public launch. The great lakes are very very large and have plenty of shoreline that one could manage to launch a boat in if he absolutely had to. But telling everyone that the launch in barrie is open guarantees a total crap show.

already been said multiple times...Im certain that I could go to the ramp launch my boat and maintain distance, but judging by my experience at the grocery store this week, 1 out of probably every 10 people is completely hopeless. Go and look at the ground at your local grocery store parking lot. The amount of used gloves laying around on the ground for the cart kids to pick up and expose themself too is exactly why they need to close public ramps. Hence, one bad apple or in this case many bad apples amognst the bunch spoils the bunch!

wouldnt have mattered buddy, if it wasnt I would have bought it all out 😆

FYI guys, a lot fuel docks are also closed. I know in pointe au baril none of the marinas are operational. If you are going to go boating, ensure you have sufficient fuel!

if you go fishing with anyone it better be someone you live with. I also agree, if we want to go fishing alone or with a family I should be able to, but do not start hanging out with friends on your boat. Thats teh exact kind of behaviour that is going to ensure that we all dont get to get back to normal any time soon. I have a buddy that had "1 friend over" last week...his mom works in a nursing home and his buddy is a moron who doesnt think this whole thing is real. When you hear it like that you realize how friggin insane the "oh its just 1 person" logic is. That 1 poker game could end up killing 9 people like it did in Bobcaygeon.

free shipping over $49 lord knows i blow past that barrier in seconds lol

the one thing that probably saved me is that their website isnt that great for managing stock levels or selecting colours. They dont provide the proper names for anything's colours so it can be difficult to get exactly what you want. It took me cycling through their senko colours and attempting to order various amounts before i would hit the sweet spot and find things that actually would go into my cart because they were in stock lol. if they were anything like tacklewarehouse I would have spent far more lol.

Daves worked his ass off to get some quality sponsorship deals me thinks. Ridiculous rig dave...my god what I would give to own that! Im a skeeter yamaha guy, and you are a garmin man...dream rig right there. Dave please tell me you were considering the FXR for 2021????😲 ive yet to see one in person but oh my god...i saw a picture of an all black one and i nearly fainted...a real life dream boat. Some day I will get my hands on a used one, i think its the best looking bass boat I have ever seen in my life. Maybe I will buy it from you If i won the lottery tomorrow Id call Chris Zaldain and tell him to sell me his boat cash up front lol

20% off this morning free shipping over $50. Couldnt resist...grabbed the last of a couple of good colour yamasenkos for $8 a pack. Megabass stuff has been ravaged but i managed to get a sonic side for less than $20 thats basically 40% off tacklewarehouse price. Bought some keitechs and a couple of reel covers! with our dollar being so low, its actually a crazy good deal on the high end stuff. Their stores are all closed so they are obviously trying to flood as much cash flow via online sales as they possibly can to keep the business floating

What old said, I forgot about that. I wire loomed everything As well. Not only does it probably help with interference, it also cleans up the 6 wires you’ve got running all over the place for your three units.

i run a 24v terrova with ipilot

6 might be a bit overkill just for units. my battery is up north I will have to get back to you about it’s cca theres actually a diagram somewhere about how to coil excess transducer cable to reduce interference. I remember it in my Humminbird manual.

I just rewired my entire boat last year Use quality marine wire. and over gauge your wire. There are a lot of charts online that will assist you with determining the appropriate guage of wire dependent on the length of your boat/runs you will be making. Not sure what kind of boat you are running, ideal is a dedicated battery for your electronics, however in my case and a lot of peoples, I dont have the space for another battery so I have to run mine off of my starter. Some guys swear by running straight to the battery, personally Im putting the protection of a fuse on my thousands of dollars worth of graphs. Have one fuse box dedicated to your graphs. I personally am running a Blue Sea box https://www.amazon.ca/Blue-Sea-Systems-Blade-Block/dp/B001P6FTHC Run one heavy line to the box and then straight lines to each graph. As mentioned do not run excess cable that requires you to loop and tape anything. Run your cable runs to the length needed. Also dont use merets or crimp anything together. Solder with shrink tube to make a super clean and more importantly waterproof connection. When i pulled the old wiring out of my boat the previous owner just used crimps for everything and the level of corrosion on the existing wiring was surprising to say the least! The boat was stored inside and rarely used! You wont power down your units if your starting battery is strong, the draw on the units is quite low when not being actively used. I guess if your system is really high end and you are running multiple 12+inch screens etc etc you may run into an issue but Im running two helix 7's and a 9 and turning over a magnetoed carburated engine and have no problems at all. I did start cutting my screens when my 11 year old battery was starting to die. But aside from that I have never had an issue.

anyone have any idea how much fluid the trim typically takes. Due to the outbreak Yamaha has closed and I am unable to get all of my parts. Im considering just trying to top up the fluid and run it like that until I can get the parts.

happy birthday! all the best!

so sad that my boards are at my buddies place

those kinda boats? If you park it...they will come

still have my full tank in the boat from storage too. When July hits and this thing passes prices will spike higher than ever for sure because transportation and the backlog of people wanting to go places is going to spike demand.

i need to get me some of those ice cleats. i follow you around social media so i think ive seen these fish? Very nice!

just bought 175 litres of ethanol free shell V power Nitro yesterday! 98 cents a litre
