  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubit 45.72 Centimeters.
  2. Just got a call from the marina I ordered my new boat toys from and my goodies are in!!!!! Should be here next week. Got a new 115 Merc 4 Stroke, Atlas Hydrolic Jack Plate, Merc Monitor Gauge System and New Controls on the way!!!!!!!
  3. What ^^^^ he said. Standard flooded lead acid battery.
  4. Looks like the Yellow is a second hookup for a remote alarm buzzer, green is tach signal, red is an aux power and black is aux ground. Most likely to power guages.
  5. This is exactly how we did it when jigging whities in Owen Sound bay.
  6. There are a couple of options when it comes to preventing stone chips. The flaps are OK but do nothing when stones are thrown from vehicles passing you. The Bow buddy attaches to the front of the trailer to protect the hull from stones. http://www.trailer-rockguard.com/ If you travel a lot of gravel roads the Trailer Tux is the one to have. http://www.trailertux.com/ I want to add one to my trailer and I think the Tux is the one I will go with. They aren't cheap but neither is a paint job. Almost forgot to mention that they are both Canadian companies.
  7. It was 45" and guessing somewhere between 25 and 30 pounds. But the best thing was I caught it on my 9wt Sage fly rod.
  8. A 10# Danforth will work fine for you. 100' of 1/2" rope as well. You can also purchase a short length of chain to go between the rope and anchor but I didn't bother and have no issues with my 18' boat.
  9. A few more big girls from me. I'm heading out shortly to try and add some more piggys!!
  10. My biggest to date And my biggest from this past winter.
  11. No you can't. But you can get a small inverter and hook that to your boats battery/electrical system and plug a regular aerator into it. You should be able to get away with a small one like this. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/Truck-Accessories/Interior-Truck-Accessories/PRD~0111851P/MotoMaster+100W+Mobile+Power+Outlet+and+Inverter+with+USB.jsp?locale=en
  12. No problem hooking it to the boats battery. For a fuse all you need is a 3 amp. It will take for ever to drain your boats battery even if your motor didn't charge it. I used to use a group 24 battery to run my big Lowrance depth finder up at the lodge and I would only recharge the battery (our motors didn't have electric start or charging capabilities) every 2nd or 3rd week.
  13. Anderson and the fact that the Pens went defensive are the only reason that the Sens won that game last night. If it weren't for Anderson they would have been down 4 or 5 zip by the third period.
  14. Google is your friend. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx
  15. Yes, you really only need 5 of the 7 wires. The other two are reserved for power to give voltage to charge an on board battery on the trailer.
  16. Got those handles all mounted up.
  17. Straight up and down with it raised up high. I hope that makes sense.
  18. My original bunks lasted 18 years. I replaced them a couple of years ago with spruce that I coated with 3 coats of polyurethane and then glued on my carpet and stapled with stainless staples. Should last me a long time. It's not only the boat you have to worry about with PT lumber. The lag screws will fail pretty quickly due to the chemicals in the PT wood. Specially coated fasteners are used with that stuff. Unless you find some PT safe lag screws they will rot in a couple of years.
  19. Yep, Z-AXIS 7136-4 blank with Strubel nickel silver reel seat hardware and the wood is stabilized doubled dyed spalted big leaf maple burl. Guides are TYSG Fugi's.
  20. Stick your screwdriver in the offending drain plug and while putting counter clockwise (lefty loosy) give the handle of the screwdriver a couple of raps with a hammer. This should break it loose. If not you may need to give it a whack with one of these.
  21. I carry my Remington 870 SPS Camo loaded with slugs when I'm running around the bush here in the NWT. If you're going to Skagway you will need to leave your gun at your cousin's place or you will have to go through the proper channels to bring it into AK. My buddy is a hunting guide in the Yukon and one spring when he was hiking in the mountains, he and his friend were charged by a very angry grizzly. He dropped it at his feet. He carries a .458 and that thing puts 'em down. I wouldn't trust a 30-30 in grizzly country. They are fine in black bear country though.
