My first boat was a little tinny and I pulled it with a Camaro.

Some shots from last nights game.

Much easier. If it's not in gear you can't turn the prop to engage the drive shaft to the engine. Prop turns but shaft does not. Very hard to line up the splines with it out of gear. I know because I forgot once with my old 90 2 stroke. Took forever to get it back in.

Something like this? https://www.jtsoutdoorfabrics.com/Boat-Cover-Support-System--2-Pole_p_20811.html

Make sure it's in gear!!! There is one bolt hidden under the anode. Once all the bolts are out you mat need to loosen it up by tapping it with a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer. FYI, it's pretty heavy so get a good grip when hauling it out.

Just realized that I just passed 10,000 posts.

Brian Trottier hoisting Lord Stanley's cup in Deline NWT tonight.

Preparations are under way for this weekend's festivities here in Yellowknife. Today Lord Stanley's Cup is visiting my friends in Deline up on Great Bear Lake. The story goes that Hockey was invented up in Deline so it's fitting. Was down at city hall today to pick up these. I get to hang with the beautiful people and Lord Stanley's hardware. 😁 They were working on getting the stage built. They have done a nice job on the pond hockey tournament ice too. More to come as the week unfolds.

I like UWA too. Especially when trying to get a selfie with a fishy. Also I believe if you're shooting UWA you really should fix the shot in post as the curved look sucks. This was shot with my DSLR sitting on the rear casting chair of my boat.

Actually I got mine in 100' rolls. And am using cam locks that fit inside the pipe and are then double clamped on.

Yup.

Or you just need to make friends down there.

The pipe I'm using for the sprinkler system is 2" Schedule 40 PVC not poly. Piping for all the sinks, bath etc is PEX. The pipe that brings the water up from the lake is 2" 75 PSI poly pipe. It is the stuff farmers use to hook up to their sprinkler systems in the fields and is connected with cam lock connectors.

You let em go but we eat the little ones here!!!!

We drink a lot!!!!!! 😝

My buddy used to live on his 36' Hatteras all year long down at Pt. Credit Marina.

I know all about the plague!!! Was down with it for 32 days in October and have been fighting round 2 for 15 days now. 😡

In 2000 I left my job and went back to school. Was pretty scary at the time but it worked out well for me.

I'm sure the 50' of snow will be gone by then!!!! 😂 😂 😂

I once watched a guy pull a 33' Chris Craft out at Port Credit. Only issue is he didn't use the ramp, he used the rocks just to the West of the opening to the river. He was coming back from Rochester NY. He was passed out drunk and on auto pilot. It happened during the salmon derby and there were dozens of people fishing off the rocks that had run for their lives. The dude lived, the boat was toast!!! The deck was no longer attached to the hull. Dude was arrested and charged with DUI. The boat ended up past the rocks and up on the grass.

Just catch big fish and you don't have to cheat!!!!

I'm using schedule 40 elbows, tees, couplers and slip to 2" NPT. My pump puts out 85psi but is 200' away from the cabin.
