  1. LOL!!!! http://www.bardown.com/this-candid-picture-of-fleury-with-the-stanley-cup-proves-how-much-he-treasures-it-1.812366
  2. Not nailed. Screwed down every 16" with expensive metal roofing screws. Supposed to be able to withstand very high winds. Much more than traditional shingles. It's also got a 50 year warranty.
  3. Yep, you need to play around with your transducer mounting. My Garmin's still pick up bottom at 40 MPH although they lose side and down imaging at those speeds. Haven't had time to play around with the mounting since I installed them earlier this year. Hope to get the side and down imaging to mark @ speed.
  4. Have an auto in the boat and use a manual in my Yak, toons etc.
  5. Another weekend @ the lake is done and I'm closer to getting this dang roof finished!!!!
  6. I don't bass fish but when I'm hitting the rivers for trouts and sammins I have a shoulder pack I wear. When in the drift boat I have a bag similar to this. http://www.cabelas.com/product/fishing/tackle-storage/tackle-bags%7C/pc/104793480/c/104777280/sc/104619780/cabelas-tackle-utility-bag-with-boxes/1651574.uts Would probably do what you need. Personally I would go with some kind of waist pack and travel very light or get one of the backpack tackle systems.

  8. Exactly!!! You also need enough room for that 300 watt panel as they are 3 1/2' X 6'!!!!
  9. There's a reason I'm lining it with 2" galvanized chain link fence.
  10. Yes they are high amperage quick connects. The one's I have already have wires attached to them. One side connects to the battery and the other side to the load. Instead of having to undo the terminals you just have to unplug and go.
  11. Didn't go to the cabin this weekend as there was an issue with my screw order for my roof. Decided to stay at home and work on the cribbing for the section of dock that is connected to the shore. These will protect the lake side posts and the dock from ice damage in the spring. I was lucky there was no damage this spring as I ran out of time last fall and didn't get them done. These should be pretty solid once I fill them up with granite.
  12. OH, and if you want to make things even easier get some of these. https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Connect-Disconnect-Electrical-Recovery/dp/B007JMTS14 I have a couple of sets I can send you for the cost of shipping if you want.
  13. I use these battery trays that have a quick release hold down. http://www.cabelas.com/product/boating/auto-boat-batteries-chargers/battery-accessories%7C/pc/104794380/c/104698080/sc/104205780/deep-cycle-battery-trays/699557.uts
  14. Pick up a 1000 watt Yamaha or Honda generator. Very quiet and sip fuel. Is there no power @ the trailer park? If there is you could pull the batteries and charge them @ the trailer.
  15. Some of our NWT guys are headed to Prince George too.
  16. That's why I cringe when I see a boat stored on the trailer with the nose low.
  17. A bunch of those trees are coming down eventually. Ones close to the cabin. Gotta clear a defensible space in case of wild fire.
  18. North side was the scary one. South side is much nicer. PS. Got a harness and 3 anchor points on the roof.
  19. After last weeks unscheduled trip to Edmonton I finally got out to the cabin for 4 days this week. I picked up a few things for the cabin while I was down South though. It will do dual duty as a pump for filling my water tank for the cabin and running fire abatement sprinkler system and fire hose duties. Wild fires are always a concern here in the summer. Although this year it seems like BC is the province on fire. Picked up my gas water pump and a bunch of associated goodies. Need a way to get the water too the cabin so I got a couple hundred feet or 2" poly pipe. Spent my time up on the roof layin' tin!!!! Too dang hot though and I went through several gallons of water and a case of Coke Zero pretty quickly. Spent a lot of time running the generator so I could sit in front of my fan to cool down. Finished up the North roof. Started work on the South roof and got about 3/4 of the porch roof done before I ran out of screws. It was too hot to work today anyway and I left the lake at 9:30AM to find me some AC to sit in. Temps are supposed to be good next weekend and I hope to get a bunch more roofing done.
  20. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something as simple as a coil pack or even a bad spark plug. I put brand new plug in my old 90 and had a similar issue when one of the plugs was defective.
  21. Been there done that, got the tee shirt. My pin that goes through the tongue lock fell out and the trailer came off the hitch ball. This happened on the 401 at 120K though. Was lucky to get her under control without damaging anything or getting killed in the process. Don't want to go through that again.
