I would spend a couple extra bucks and look at this

I've run 4 stroke since 96---I'll never go back to 2

think this guy is on this board

If you've got power---I think someone mentioned the jumper cable direct to starter is probably your next step to eliminate switches etc

Mostly what I have used over time

check connections as well as the posts for clean

Any time I get dead power like you describe---9 times outta 10 in my life it's been a ground issue

Make sure your ground connections on both ends are clean and not corroded.

Bad grounds can drive ya crazy

I hear a Mickey of Screech and a bag of kelp can buy ya outta jail

Everyone is O-Fish-illy now on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION 😀

My connections at the battery have a circuit breaker ya push in when tripped---part of the battery connection itself

look for a button to push in maybe

Get on a nest of smaller walleyes---bigger gators are usually close by

Bought my Smokercraft 1n 1996

one of the 1st Merc 4 strokers on it

Still on the water and catchin more fish than Jonah

And yes ---I am a huge Smokercraft fan---and have fished outta many Lunds and Crestliners

May have to go old school and trial and error like many of us learned

find weeds, breaklines and rocks and give er a go

I agree---one of our greatest species we have

I thought so---so much that when we built I had a pond dug and stocked it with them and some bows

Was one of the greatest things I ever "had"

Had as much fun feedin them as catchin them--but alas----predators and fluctuating water levels put me outta the game

Great tho while it lasted---this was them

I've got a 17 foot boat-----boat and motor is a 1000 lbs

trailer maybe 300?

when my livewell is full bout 3000 lbs---handles her well 😎

I've got a 13---I heard issues with the 16's

I used to do the f150 4x4---and there was a time it took $150 to fill it

therefore I downsized to a 2 litre ford escape with a 3500 lb TC

good on gas---4wd

if I need to run to the lumber yard or dump---I have a utility trailer

too many years I run around with an empty box truck---just to say I drove one

does your grocery store not carry them?

that's where we get ours

Hey Bri---keepin them lines tight?

Just watch your trim to keep the nose down---sitting in the back sometimes can be a challenge for obstructions or kayakers 🙂

passengers a lot of times don't get that you need to see also-

I run a 50 tiller

Thanks for the info

i am looking real near the town of Barry’s bay  is the first property,  but looking  over by killaloe.  Even a a piece of land by muskrat lake 

Muskrat lake is a different animal---it's Cobden

Busy lake---lots of bass tourneys---suffers every year from a heavy blue green algae

good fishing---just busy---lots of Ottawa traffic

Guess this is where the interweb is a good thing for info 😏

I like this comment.

Environmental concerns? Why not, because "it dissipated quickly" He's an ass, no he's an ostrich; stick your head in the sand; what I can't see won't hurt me? Eventually whatever chemicals that went up into the shy and "dissipated" will come back down into our streams, rivers and lakes. Then we wonder why such and such lake has gone all but dead? This factory needs to be held responsible/liable to any effect this may have on the environment, years down the road from now. 

Ok I'm on a rant day.

There's another thing that really pisses me off. The TV and movie industry. For our entertainment they set fires, produce explosions emitting all kinds of chemicals into the atmosphere. Guess what, most of these movies are produced in California. The US State that has the most stringent emissions laws in North America? It's all about the buck that can be made; we all care about the environment until there's money to be made.

Stepping of soap box.

Uh...Santa didn't bring ya what ya wanted?? 😀

Just kiddin---Environment should always be considered

Decent fishing in Kaminiskeg---Bark Lake and Madawaska river

Round lake has been good lately---other trout lakes nearby

You see atv's around on roads

Nice little town

I missed that Weaponizing your boat section in the boaters exam test we all had to take I guess

Well it’s time on cooks bay with all the other boats. My son caught a couple 

I hate when the fish interrupt my sandwich 😃

You may wish to assess your boating requirements

Hey it's 2020---why not?
