They've been whining and complaining about people launching boats/canoes off the island since I was a little kid. Launch at the park and avoid the hassle. On the other side of the coin, it's public land.. I can't see how they can block access for people to launch canoes/tinnies via the island. Call the city and complain...

Install went well (Who knew Lund used aluminum instead of plywood) that was a bit of a surprise when drilling the first hole under the passenger console, lol! I just need to extend the negative lead on bank #1 to run under the floor to the other battery located in front of the driver console..

Probably the best shot I've ever taken, lol! Dinner! by billmarz, on Flickr Another decent one... Saugeen River Resident by billmarz, on Flickr Drew, those sturgeon shots are off the hook!!!!

I would never bag on sales staff, I hope Jackie didn't take my post the wrong way (I could see how he could, my bad).. There are so many people that go into these stores and know absolutely nothing, having someone who is knowledgeable can really point them in the right direction the first time!

I've got the visual floating around in my head, lol! Thanks bud... Looks like a 2 bank is exactly what I need if I plan to upgrade to a 24V system down the road.

Roy, silly question... Would I charge a 24V system the same way? Odds are really good I'll be upgrading the Minn Kota in the near future... If that's the case (Only using 1 bank of the charger to charge both batteries) do I really need a 2 bank? Terry, I've read that the charger should be able to figure out I've got 2 batteries in parallel, I guess I'll see how things go once I get everything hooked up, lol.

I'm pretty sure I don't have to, but I'd like to pick the brains of a few of you that have 2 bank onboard chargers that either charge a 24v system or a 12v system like mine running 2 batteries for extra capacity.. I think I'm going to go with the Guest 10amp 2 bank. Currently running a 12V system with 2 batteries in parallel for more capacity for my Minn Kota PowerDrive.

Yup..... you missed it.

Why bother? I would guess because of the 10% ethanol that's now in our gasoline unless you're using premium.. It's a $8 filter you swap out once a year and a 20min install, why would you even take the chance?

Install it right where the gas lines comes out of the boat. That's where it is on our Lund Pro Sport.

This is why I keep it in the boat and it never moves.. Such a pain in the ass to replace the stupid things.

^--- LOL!

You must actually work on the road crew to be defending the 427, lol! The 403/401 route is 100% better.

The 427 is crap, I don't think they've done road maintenance to that thing for 20 years.. I'd take QEW/403/401/400N..

Buy a small Honda generator and put it in the boat and let it run until it dies. That's what we do a few times a year when we are in the middle of nowhere and we've gotta charge the batteries.. Quiet as well.

Huh?

I was catching them on 12-18ft edges when the water was in the mid 70's.... I imagine it's a lot warmer now.

What were the water temps like? Maybe they've gone a lot deeper.

Morning/evening on big rock flats with topwaters would be the ticket.

Congrats to her Chris! Great photo!

Yup, they are going to spawn in the blue zone instead!

Gotta find those weed edges, GPool is littered with pike.

Sheephead fight great!

No.

Mike, how much of each do you add to your rub? This sounds like something I should tackle this week, lol.
