Is that metal just nailed right to the plywood? What thickness ply wood did you use? I don't like things that are just nailed to plywood. They come free after time. Looks great though!

 

S.

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.

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.

Have an auto in the boat and use a manual in my Yak, toons etc.

Another weekend @ the lake is done and I'm closer to getting this dang roof finished!!!!

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.

I'm not even certain this information would be subject to a freedom of information request due to privacy considerations. Does anyone know for sure the request was filed, or is it possible the guy who said it is all talk?

Mike has a 6 page letter from the MNR detailing the request.

Be sure to fill them up before you position them in the water lol

Waste of time unless you have sunshine all day and 300+ watts of solar panels.

Exactly!!! You also need enough room for that 300 watt panel as they are 3 1/2' X 6'!!!!

Around here they call them Gambrel cages. Unlike my neighbour make sure the rocks are larger than the cage openings. He used small rocks aka, stone.

There's a reason I'm lining it with 2" galvanized chain link fence.

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.

OH, and if you want to make things even easier get some of these.

I have a couple of sets I can send you for the cost of shipping if you want.

I use these battery trays that have a quick release hold down.

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.

Some of our NWT guys are headed to Prince George too.

10 pounds per gallon X's how many gallons? That puts a lot of weight in a boat, that's sitting on a trailer; only supported in a few relatively small areas.

 

Dan.

That's why I cringe when I see a boat stored on the trailer with the nose low.

Yeah, I usually start up and blast our of the spot when someone pulls this on me. 

Like this?  

You won't get me up higher than the 3rd rung of a ladder now. Nothing to climb a hoop ladder to the top of a gas bleeder 10 stories from death, at night during a thunder storm. Nuts then or really needed the money, both maybe. Just be safe is what I'm saying and I know you work both smart and safe.

 

Someone is going to say you need to cut down those trees for the view. As someone that lives smack dab on Erie those trees can save you a lot of heating bills when those winds are whipping off the lake at 40 knots or more. Trees have a tendency to stave off erosion too.

A bunch of those trees are coming down eventually.

Ones close to the cabin.

Gotta clear a defensible space in case of wild fire.

Lookin' good Dave, lookin' good. Now be safe up there, 911 isn't exactly a few minutes away, a few hours maybe? Don't do what the guy that tied off to the bumper of his car when he was roofing. Then his wife decided to go shopping and dragged him a few miles down the road. Maybe a urban legend but I believe it.

 

Minions aren't very good workers, far too easily distracted.

North side was the scary one.

South side is much nicer.

PS. Got a harness and 3 anchor points on the roof.

I have my doubts on the diagnosis to.

 

At 18 psi that motor would be missing and shaking and down on power.

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.

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.
