  1. Yep, doesn't take long if you have 2 people that know what they're doing. I launch solo now and it's about a minute to launch and 2 to recover.
  2. No need for load range E tires on your vehicle. I have been very impressed with the ice, snow traction of the Wrangler Silent Armors so far. They are also very quiet considering their agressive profile and gas mileage has not been impacted significantly since I switched from the all seasons that came with the vehicle.
  3. The E rated tires shoud not be purchased for general purpose use. The only negative reviews I saw out of over 300 I read were people who bough the E rated tires and weren't hauling an in bed camper or 5th wheel. The complaints were a hash ride. Every single review I read about the C rated tires was glowing and there wasn't a single complaint. If you do need the E rated for heavy hauling make sure to air them down when not hauling to improve the ride.
  4. They're pretty handy for weather reports too.
  5. Sounds like fogging oil to me, go fishing.
  6. I guess you don't fog your 4 strokes for winter storage then? I would start at the exhaust and then move my way down the leg. It could befrom his oil change as well. If not from these two spots then check gear oil caps then prop seal. Remember oil runs down hill.
  7. It's most likely from the exhaust, no need to worry.
  8. Mine's still in storage. No big deal though as you need liquid water to run it in. Here's a couple of shots of one of our smaller lakes in town from this past weekend.
  9. We use these mounts for the seats on the boats up at the lodge. Seat Mount Mounting Base
  10. I bought a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor AT's for my truck and they were decently priced and got great reviews. They cost me $1,000 installed and balanced here in Yellowknife so I would bet they would be $100 or more less down south. I'm very impressed with them so far. I have used them in snow, ice, dirt roads, climbing a granite outcrop and off road with good results. Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Tires
  11. Pontoons on every float plane I have ever seen have been riveted. Pontoons on pontoon boats are welded and are thicker guage aluminum. All the aluminum ocean boats are welded but the aluminum is much thicker than the Tracker boats.
  12. Yep, same here. The cheaters put a lot of fish in the boat for me over the years. 2 snap swivels and a 6-8 foot chunk of 20-30# mono and you're good to go. Set your line at depth snap a lure on one end of the cheater, snap the other on the main line and toss it out behind the boat. It will drop down about 1/2 way to the cannon ball.
  13. Same thing when I searched for Fisher.
  14. Hmmmmm, they're right it's too dangerous to stay there. Indian and Northern Affairs should set them up with a nice little homestead in Alert!!!!
  15. The only reason you need to register is if you are running a motor bigger than 10HP. Just because it's on a trailer you don't need to register, just plate the trailer.
  16. Yep, that's what we all use at the lodge too. A couple of coffee tins and yer good to go!!!
  17. I have never stayed there but have caught my biggest bass (7#) and biggest musky (53 1/2") within sight of the lodge. Plus the waleye fishing is good also.
  18. UH, Where's the river?
  19. Don't know what the deal is but it has me about 1000 km East of where it's supposed to be.
  20. When I seat the bearings I snug and loosen the nut while turning the wheel. This does a better job of seating the bearings than just tightening it up.
  21. I'm afraid not. It was shot during our 8 1/2 minute open water season.
  22. First prize is $150 US dollars. It will pay for my 2010 non-resident Alaskan fishing license ($145) and a large moccha!!!
  23. For all of my fellow OFNer's that took the time to look at my Ice Road Fishers video, Thankyou!!!! I have just been informed that it won first place in the contest it was entered in and I couldn't have done it without you!!!! Stay tuned as I'm in the middle of putting a wicked top water pike video together.
  24. That rig in the gulf had the same safety valve, it failed!!! There needs to be multiple backups in order to prevent this from re-occuring and until new protocols are put in place all new drilling should be put on hold.
  25. You need a real MANS BBQ. Look no further as you have come to the right place. Here are a few of my favorite MANBQ's!!!!!!! Number one: Number two: Number three: Number four: Number five: Number six: Here's the story behind this last one.
