  1. All you non leaf fans crack me up..You all criticize them but never really come up with any sort of a real solution.Spew all you want its ok just sounds like verbal diarrhea .You don't want to know what that's called?

    Ill always be a Leaf fan thick or thin..But most importantly Ill always be a hockey fan..Shanny has some work to do.. this is where it gets exciting.. Im hearing Jake and Bozak and a 2nd round pick (2016) for Ryan Oreily .. There's the #1 center were looking for..FWIW I would pull he trigger on that deal anyday..

     

    How about Kessel to Nashville for Seth Jones and a 1st round pick? :whistling:

  2. Dave, can you give a close up shot of those jig heads with a tape. And what weights are they?

     

    Thanks

     

    Here ya go Brian.

     

    Pic of the jig heads. Left is 1/2 oz and right I have in 3/4 and 1 oz (they have the same size hook).

  3. as a side note Cabelas in Barrie laid off a whole bunch of part timers and full time staff have had their hours cut.

     

     

    That's normal with Cabelas and BPS.

    They over staff for the opening and during that time evaluate who they are going to keep and who will be let go after the initial rush is over.

  4. I always use stabil in my gas equipment & only Shell V power gasoline (V power contains 0 ethanol). I was unaware that there is a "marine grade" stabilizer. Where do I purchase this stuff? My Jiffy auger manual specifies a 24:1 mix. Anybody else have these specs? Mr. Topwater - I strongly recommend you read the owner's thoroughly before operating it. Follow their instructions. If your new auger should fail, at least you have followed their procedures when (hopefully it's not necessary) it comes time for a warranty repair.

     

    My Strikemaster is 24:1 but I run Opti-2 @ 75:1 in it.

    I run the same mix in all of my 2 stroke engines. Outboards, chain saws, augers etc.

    I also use stabil in every can of gas as well as in my boats tank.

    Doesn't matter what grade of gas I use though as there is no corn juice in any fuel up in the great white North!! :clapping:

  5. Should I baby it at first? The manual says it won't "transfer full power" until after 2 hours of use, whatever that means. Also, can I keep it in the garage all winter? Thanks for all the plain speak answers. Smokestack's advice about the extra blades will be heeded.

    No need to baby it.

    It takes a while for the clutch shoes to bed in and the clutch can slip a bit until they do.

    I noticed it on my Eskimo (same unit as yours rebranded) when I first ran it.

  6. I've drilled 50 holes @ 10 feet apart just to find A drop off on Temagami. Last year the ice was 36"+ plus in February. It's currently 21!

     

    Man you waste a lot of energy!!!!!

    I don't drill a hole until I know the depth.

    Remove snow, place Marcum transducer on the ice, turn on unit, pour water from water bottle on ice to couple theducer to the ice, adjust depth knob if needed, read depth, repeat until you find your spot, drill holes!!! B)

    Very important here when ice is 60" thick!!! :lol:

    Currently our ice is about 36" thick. :huh:

  7. Ethanol free gas, Opti-2 synthetic oil mixed per the instructions on the bottle and fuel stabilizer in every jug of gas.

    I leave fuel in the tank @ the end of the season.

    Make sure to grease the output shaft where the auger attaches. Remove auger, rub grease on the shaft and re-install.

    If you don't it will rust the two together and you'll never get it off.

     

    PS. I currently own 3 power augers. :canadian:
