Thats Small....

It sounds like a wire going to the starter solenoid. I will be the Ground wire... Or just go buy a new one at Part Source for 19.99$....Make sure you have room in the out board for the fasting brackets....Gound wire MUST connect the bracket
NOTE.....Take your old one in the store to match it up...

After reading a thread this morning about someone having a flat tire on his boat trailer, I thought I'd throw this out there for anyone new to towing a trailer.
1st off.....ALWAYS CARRY A SPARE FOR YOUR TRAILER
The wheel wrench for your tow vehicle may not fit the lug nuts on your boat trailer and if so, you'll be stranded on the side of the hiway even though you thought you were prepared. Be sure to carry the proper sized wrench for your trailer wheels.
It's a good idea to loosen the lug nuts & re-tighten them once in awhile to be sure they don't become siezed on the wheel over time which could also leave you stranded on the side of the road.
It's also a good idea to carry a flat piece of wood incase you need to jack up your truck or trailer on soft ground. It'll keep the jack from sinking into the dirt as you crank up the vehicle.
Check the tire pressure on your trailer tires before EVERY trip. I carry a tire guage, compressor and a couple cans of the aerosol puncture sealer in my truck. I also increased the length of the compressor plug wire by 25' so it can reach the trailer tires without having to remove them.
And be sure your trailer wheel bearings are in good shape & lubricated
Just a few thoughts that may help a newbie out.
Anybody else got anything to add ??
Thanks Lew, That was my post you read today, The small piece wood is a very good point, I'll remember that...I just took it for granted that things wont break down.....
Thanks Again for all the helpful hint and tips while towing a boat or just about anything...Thanks and happy fishing...

i had one of those days except i hit a rock and my prop fell off, the battery on the motor died and i had to jump out of the boat and swim to safety... the boat ended up in the bushes
Yep one of those days eh...

That really sucks! At least it happened at the end of the fishing trip.
Hope your finger heals quickly!
Yes, if that would happen in the morning time...I would have been more pissed....NO FISHING....Lol
Finger is still a little sore, one day at a time...

My report of a full moon fishing trip, Day of fishing with the 3 of us.
As I get the Boat ready to rock and roll heading for the lake at 3:45am.
The guys I'm picking up sleep in 1 1/2hr. I was alittle pissed, Boat was running good, fishing was a little slow at 1st. FISH ON,
Bam a nice walleye maybe 22" long, Bam spits the hook...oh well, As the day ends i load the boat and head home back to Kitchener.
Good times good tunes are rolling in the van, What next, The Tire on the trailer blow, I'm' mean BLOWS....tire every were.
In the middle of Mennonite country.....And no spear for the trailer. 3 lug nuts come off like it was butter, But the 4th cant move at all. 3 guys later tried. "NOTHING".
.
I have an idea.....? I'll use this bar that comes with the stock jack....As I'm lifting up on this bar it folds and my hand is going for the FENDER above the tire.....Slice.....
4 stitches later.. on the middle finger..Of course i also hit the bone too.
As one of the guys hoops into the Van to drive to the hospital the Dodge grand Caravan whats to take a break at this time....No electric sing of life...NO indicator, break lights, speedometer...nothing on the van works, only the gas and breaks.....
Hospital is full to stitch me up...two many hours to wait with a boat sitting on the side of a road unatended....
After a few long hours sitting there wounding were I'm getting a spare tire with everything closed i had no choice to go and get my boat from the side of the road...you all would have done so too...
Shaking my head and looking at this whole mess....What now....
In the van i go, with a flat tire open cut finger and non working van...I drove 27 kms at a speed of 5 km-hr if that, A half a pack of smoke's later,. i come to this Horse staple with a few guy partying it up on there deck..." Hay there you have a flat" No Shiit, Pull in here and leave it here... " wow thanks so much you guys save me from another 34kms.."
After a 6 hour wait ready to get stitch, the Dr says to me " when did you do this to your hand..." i replayed with a SMILE 14 hours a go....." What he said" ...
I HAD TO GO AND GET MY BOAT i said to the Dr.

I was an old school monofilament guy as well, until this year...have really been impressed with Power Pro on my Arbor spinning combo, and, Cajun Red on my musky combo. Haven't tried Fireline.
Power Pro line is good, i have it on my reel now...BUT i love the fire line. Its a nice light line....

STOP NAMING THE RIVERS and the zones.....
read the conditions on this board that you all agreed to when you signed up....
maybe a mod can DELETE this entire topic asap.
The rule say's "VERY SPECIFIC information on fishing spots" Where in your post did I or the other name a Specific pinned point spot, We name a river. No map, Gps, was ever used. Theres topics in here that saying BIG FISH AT BRONTE at this ZONE....I see nothing wrong with this post.
