  1. Could they be on the same circuit as your outside outlets? Check the GFCI outlet outside to see if it's tripped.
  2. Well last week I finally decided it was time to re-power the old boat. There's nothing wrong with the 1991 Merc 90hp 2 stroke on the boat other than the fact it's temperamental in the cold and it guzzles gas. I tried to buy a new motor here in town but their prices are too high and they won't deal at all. I ended up searching the net for Canadian Merc dealers that would actually deal. I ended up talking with Bridgeview Marine in Delta BC (one of their 3 locations) and got pricing on a new 2013 Merc 115hp 4 stroke, new controls and Mercmonitor eco gauge setup. Including shipping and taxes it's about $3K less than if I purchased here in town. So I will be saying goodbye to the trusty old 2 smoke. And will be saying hello to my new fuel injected 115 four stroke gas mizer!!! New controls And new high tech gauge/monitor system The waiting is going to kill me!!!!! Hopefully it arrives before the ice goes out.
  3. I just bought fuel line @ Napa to replace the original lines. The leak could be at the fitting that goes into the bottom of the tank. It could also be where the oil level sender mounts or it could have a split on the seam of the tank it's self.
  4. Have you changed your oil lines yet? The lines on the tank of my 1991 Merc 90 hardened up and over the winter one failed and actually fell off (thankfully not while I was running down the lake). I came out to find oil all over the place and my tank empty.
  5. That looks like a fine little fishing rig.
  6. I had coverage through Dominion of Canada when I lived in Ontario. For my $20K (1991 $$$$) boat cost was in the $350/year range. And that was full coverage/replacement. My broker was Meadowvale Ins. Brokers in Streetsville.
  7. Much better effort tonight!!!!!
  8. Could be a malfunctioning flux capacitor. Have you checked the gamma feedback relay?
  9. I don't agree with that either. If that hit was worth 2 games then Ference's blatant elbow to Grabo's head should have been worth 5 games.
  10. Yeah, it was pretty good hockey wasn't it. I don't even have to stay up late to watch it. I do have to agree with Matt though. The Sens did play a good game and their goalie was outstanding and reason they won that game. The hit on Eller was a good hit, just had a bad ending. I hope he's doing OK. Diaz should receive a beat-down from the rest of his team for that stupid pass.
  11. Bill Don't you know the Sens are the second coming of Christ? PRAISE ALPO!!!!
  12. TJ It's a thermostatically controlled water cooled OB. Check for a water intake screen on the under side of the cavitation plate above the prop. Pretty sure that's where it is on those. It's in that area on my 4hp Merc. Can't use muffs on them. I used a 6 gallon pail to test mine. Need to keep a hose running into the bucket though.
  13. I just dropped $13K on a new outboard and mercmonitor gauge.
  14. Low carb diet. Only 6gr of carbs in this meal.
  15. Never got into the energy drink thing. Had a 5hr energy once, MEH!!! This is my energy drink of choice.
  16. Not dyspepsia but I do suffer from IBS and acid reflux and the best thing I did was to get rid of wheat gluten from my diet. It sucks not eating breads, pastas and all of that other good stuff but I feel waaaaaaay better now.
  17. Yes. My buddy has a commercial license. I could get a personal use permit and net myself if I wanted to. Things are different up here. FYI, there are only 16 commercial licensed fishermen operating on the lake. The lake is 27,200 sq kms and 480 kms long by 109 kms wide. It's also the deepest lake in North America @ 2,010 feet at it's deepest.
  18. Don't know if this is the one or not as he told me he got 6 or 8 lakers in the net on the weekend.
  19. Lake Trout that is. It's what's for dinner. My BBQ specialty Dave's Fiery Texas Trout. Drizzled with liquid smoke and then spiced up with a variety of Tex Mex and South West spices. Becomes And finally
  20. Check out this video my buddy put together from his New Zealand trip. http://vimeo.com/64865681
  21. Look up. http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69360&p=782587
  22. I used to go out to local ball diamonds at night and pick them. They are really easy to see and capture on that crushed chip rock stuff they use on the diamonds in Southern Ontario.
