  1. Brought to you by Billy Mays! Sounds like an infomercial... LOL I haven't used copolymer lines yet but the name has to do with the chemical structure of the line. A copolymer contains at least 2 monomers whereas a monofilament line is a strand of the same monomer. The structure of copolymers can differ so it all depends on the arrangement of the monomers being used. (Had to pull out the chem book for that stuff, didn't remember everything from that course) Now I don't know that having different arrangements of monomers is any better then a single strand of monomers in regards to a fishing line but the main use of copolymerization is to modify man made plastics. I would imagine that the scientists have found some benefits to doing this, whether or not these benefits translate directly to better fishing is something you will have to test and see for yourself. I might give it a shot too so long as it's not ridiculously expensive.
  2. That's what usually happens . Now keep your opinions to a minimum!
  3. I usually spend 5-600 bucks if I make the trip to BP or LB.
  4. Now first off, I'm a Sens fan and I know, they aren't going to make the playoffs but in some respect I would rather have my team play well and compete towards the end of the season even if they aren't going to make it. It builds for next season and things are going in the right track which is nice to see for once. The habs on the other hand look like a mirror image of the sens last season, complete collapse in the second half of the season and complete turmoil. No saying what is going to happen in the playoffs but Montreal will have to do a complete 180 if they want to compete. On a side note, it looks like Schnider is going to NY to get a second opinion on his shoulder. You know it's bad when that happens. They are in trouble without him and Makrov though. Looks like Grabovski got the last laugh after all. Call him a cheapshot artist if you want but Koivu is just as bad.
  5. Send him to Guantanamo Bay and let them use their "enhanced interrogation techniques" on him.
  6. Yeah I have the same unit too but I haven't used it yet. I might be pming you this summer UB if that's alright but I'm usually pretty good with elec's so we'll see.
  7. Haven't heard of them but they have been around for 30 years overseas. Apparently they make most of the cvt's out there like the ones on the vespa so I wouldn't think there would be too much problems. They make their own engine so I would imagine parts are readily available. Found a youtube video and if this is the one you are looking at, it looks pretty capable and they seem pretty reliable from what i have read in the last 20 minutes. I guess they must be doing something right though, they have been around since 1978.
  8. I'll second the 5 of Diamonds but make sure you get a Len Thompson, they cost a bit more but they produce way better then the lookalikes. I think it has to do with the fact they have a gold back whereas the others have silver. Both the red and yellow and black and yellow work well but if I had to choose 1 to go with it would be the red and yellow in the 2 3/4 inch size.
  9. Covers 2-130HP years 1976-2005 and goes over how to do an oil change and what to put in it in the Maintenance section.
  10. I posted this a while back, you should find what you are looking for here. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...l=engine+repair
  11. Irishfield, which is better the sikaflex 592 or 1a?
  12. I'm going to do the same thing this summer. I think I read on here something about the new type of pressure treated reacting with aluminum because it has copper in it but don't quote me on it. Hopefully someone can clarify this. I wonder if staining regular lumber with an exterior stain would solve that problem, if that's the case.
  13. My grandpa does, it's up by Pembroke, bout 1.5hrs north of Ottawa. Little far from where you are though.
  14. This is a pretty interesting site. Pond Stocking Site
  15. Just curious why you guys kill them. I'm not a tree hugger or anything and couldn't care less, just wondering. Do they harm the fishery?
  16. you could always get some wire to use as an extension, just buy 2 feet of wire around the same size or get 3 feet and practice with the first foot. That would save you having to spend 50us plus ship. Soldering guns are cheap and handy.
  17. The plug number is right on the side of the plug. Canadian Tire should have them, if not any place that does outboard repairs of any sorts will.
  18. regardless, I'd say it's a bit much...
  19. Yeah, If you don't have an air hose, a vacuum might do the trick too. Prop looks fine, no worries there. Once you clean it up, take a look at the wires and if they aren't bare some electrical tape might do the trick. The plugs look dirty on the outside so after all the crap is clean up around them you might want to pull them out and take a look at them. You'll find out more once you try to start it.
  20. Luckily you have that monster generator
  21. Poor Laura Only 900k Guess I understand why my hydro bill is 80 bucks a month for a 2 bedroom apartment. Makes you wonder why the economy is in the crapper like it is...
  22. LOL That's what I tell my gf or parents whenever I spend 500 bucks on fishing gear. "I could be doing drugs dad, instead I decided to get a new baitcaster, I could take it back and buy a crack pipe if you would prefer though." I'm on here constantly though except the summer months when I don't have internet.
  23. 4 Words Scott Tenorman Must Die!
