  1. No problem. FYI, I took out the top rack as it just gets in the way.
  2. I have one of these stainless table top jobs that is 3 years old now and works great. Portable BBQ I bought the hose adapter to hook it to a 20# tank as well. Hose Adapter I also have a cheap table top BBQ for camping but it has issues running off the larger tanks (5 and 20 pound).
  3. You look out the window to see this!!!!! Freinds of a co-worker went on a long snowmobile trip on Great Slave last weekend and were still drilling through 60 inches of ice!!!!!
  4. You're probably looking at $2200-$2500.
  5. System time on the server is probably off.
  6. I have always just used the old race as a driver to drive in the new one. I just flip it over so the races have the same side touching each other and start tapping away with the hammer. Just flip the hub over and tap out the old race after the new one is seated. Clear as mud?
  7. Been running the Nautilis stuff in my 90 HP Merc for 18 years now with no problems.
  8. Good silver bass fishing down river from the QEW too.
  9. All true especially if he is the original owner and knows it's history. There are many things that could affect compression including a cracked reed valve, cylinder scoring from wrong fuel mixture or overheating. A simple compression check will let him know if all is ok. Peace of mind is worth $50, no?
  10. There are plenty of other toons out there that are more reasonably priced. They generally start around $350 and go up from there. I have a OUTCAST FISH CAT COUGAR and it is a very good quality toon. Remember you get what you pay for. There is a good representation available through the Fishing Hole. The Fishin' Hole
  11. Yep, one bank for each battery.
  12. The one I posted has the threaded adapters as well as the press fit rubber and should fit any engine. They also have a kit with only the threaded adapters that you can purchase and return if the adapters don't fit.
  13. For eye's I always did well with perch or chartreuse Ripplin' Redfins sporting a night crawler. For bows silver/blue, silver/green, silver/purple, firetiger, strawberry shortcake, monkey puke, watermellon and clown are all good colours. I have also had good success with Rapala J11's and J13's in blue/silver and gold/orange.
  14. Do not completely drain them, this is only for NiCad batteries. Charge them separately. You should look at getting a dual output on-board charger as this greatly simplifies charging duties. Just plug in at the end of the day and you're done. I would go with a dual output 10 amp unit (20 amps total). With it you will be fully charged in 4-6 hours.
  15. Canadian Tire does have them. This one also comes with the press fit rubber fitting. Compression Tester You can also go to NAPA.
  16. Nice troots bro!!! So now you have learned the age old lesson "Don't leave fish to find fish" P.S. I will troll in water as shallow as 2 feet until the water starts to warm up. One of the biggest trout I have had on in my boat (55#) came from 18" of water.
  17. Open water, that's a novel idea. The only open water around is the Yellowknife River and part of Yellowknife Bay. The rest is mostly 3 1/2 to 4 feet of solid ice. The boat won't see service for another month or so. I will probably get the 'toon out on some smaller lakes sooer though.
  18. The camera is actually my 6 year old Olympus Stylus 300. One of these days I'll have to upgrade. It has taken a beating over the years and it's still kicking though.
  19. Well, It's a sad day around here as the temps creep upward and the sun is now up for 17 1/2 hours a day. All this sun and warmth is taking it's toll on our ice....................yeah, yeah, I know Boo Hoo!!!! Yesterday was my last day to drive my truck on the lake this winter as the landings are getting sketchy. :'( Now I'm going to have to haul my gear on foot, DOH!!!!! Here's the approach to the lake yesterday. It's starting to look a little soft in places. Luckily there is safe ice on both sides of this soft section to gain access to the safe 3 foot plus ice beyond. A random shot on the way to my favorite lake. Arctic Ice Porn!!! The Bounty!!!

  21. You probably hit a deadhead floating out in the middle of the lake, been there, done that!!! The log that punched a hole in your boat would more than likely just dent an aluminum hull. The hull on my aluminum boat is completely filled with floatation foam anywhere there is room. The whole center of the floor on either side of the gas tank as well as the rear casting deck behind the storage compartments and live well. I have no concerns of my boat sinking to the bottom. From about 3' forward of the console to a foot and a half from the rear of the boat has floatation foam in the floor.
  22. If you do much fishing in Shield lakes you want an aluminum hulled boat. When you bump a rock with a fiberglass boat it cracks and splits, aluminum is more forgiving in this instance. Glass boats ride nicer for the most part, mainly because they weigh a lot more than the same type of boat in aluminum. Glass boats fell more solid running in heavy seas due to the added weight of them. If you are running mostly inland lakes I would go with a Vee or Semi Vee in either aluminum or glass, they both have their plusses and minuses. If you are going to run larger lakes most of the time go with a glass vee bottom boat. Flat bottom boats (john boats) are better in rivers and shallow lakes.
