Thanks Dan and Mike for your input. Like I mentioned its in bare form so far, a little tinkering and what not this weekend. I do need to cut a hole in the bow(back rest area) to install the supports. Once thats done, then I need to figure out the mount. I built 2 temp mounts so far. One short and one long one. I would prefer something thats sits very low, such as a rigger base. As for springs, I think I may have a few in my tool box that may work.Heavy duty and short. I will keep you guys posted as I go

I may just go down to fabric alley and get their opinion on a travel cover Why not

If fish sleep, then the worms are

All I can imagine is her sore ankle, and your new found love Are your seat cushions really soft in your boat? JK Hope she gets well soon And you too

A suction cup works great on a canoe If you have a trolling motor, mount it on the underside with a hose clamp

Either way, you had a great day of fishing I will see about busting this 30 inch fish thing thats going on, go team 4

I stick to interstate, no knock offs or blemished ones at all. 3 years so far, and I do drain them down, when i use them in my canoe for the ff and trolling motor.

They do sell waterproof rivots in 3/16 plus, an manual rivot gun and adding sealant in the hole should work for you.Contact transaxle or traction, they should have some in stock. If not, pm me and I will see what I can do for ya.

Well here you go guys and gals, you wanted pics My neighbour as always came over to give me a hand, and another I called over to ask his opinion. All I can say on their part is Im not sure I want to use 2 of these reels, but for temporary purposes' , they will suffice. There is also another addition to the project, but that can wait for the time being. If youve been on lloyds boat, then you will know what i am adding to it. There were 2 left on sale on the shelf at home depot today Its still in rough form for now, and Im not sure wether to polish it or paint it as of yet. Time will tell. On to the pics

Not any more Last week while digging up prices etc, and seeing someones homemade mast made me think, I can make a better one And for much less So far I have 60$ tied into it including the line. By the time Im done, it shouldnt be more than 120$, pending which which reels I use. I will post a few pics as I go. Stub and base finished, mast welded up, now to install the extras and a little extra as well I will post a few pics later on. The boards will be this weekends job.

Thanks guys, i may have to call them directly. Either way its a thought that I may persue in the future I only use it for emergencies

Aluminum buck rivots, some sealant, an air hammer and a peice of steel stock(or a hammer). Thats all you need to it properly for a good tight fit. The rivots varies from 3/16 to 5/16nths for what you need. Pm me if you need further assistance fixing the issue.

Heres a pic for you guys of my kicker

just my two cents worth, and not jacking the topic Yesterdays accident at brock rd and mclean rd in guelph(arberfoyle) Truck drivers at times are worse than teens, thinking that all is fine to google and chat away Sorry, just had to let it out. I hope the fellow survives.

This idea has been running through my mind for a while, condering fuel cost, noise from the prop while trolling etc. Ive searched on line and havent found anything yet, and still searching. To convert it to an electric start isnt a big deal, im sure the flywheel has a ring gear, and to find a starter and space for it. My main concern is throttle control. Is there a conversion kit available? Has anyone done this before? I know it may be a task, but why not try, if its feasable. Thanks in advance for your input V

My neighbours old snowblower had the prior years gas in it. It started and ran fine for me. A very old craftsman 5 hp What a work horse

good job wayne

Fish or no fish, you had a good day with a good gent

Thanks for the replies

fishing info mainly

I forsee 20 colour lead core set ups very soon

Intrigue me I may even know him

I got to work wednesday and the power was off, by 9am we were told to go home Oh,I wasnt going to complain at all . I tried to get a hold of a friend for a day out for chinnies, well there was no answer, Fine. So instead I went to price out canvas for the bow of my boat, ouch!!! After that I decided I will check out an antique shop that advertisized fishing lures. So off I went across the street not knowing what I would find. I searched the first Ilse, and theres wasnt much there Then I spoke to the clerk, he took me back where they all the were I didnt have the time to go through it So I figured I would recheck the first Isle before leaving and I seen these two penn boxs hidden. I opened them up and tested them, made a deal with the clerk And now their mine A very nice fellow by the name of Tom, Thanks a ton Mint shape, all the paper work and orig reel wrap with penn logo, tools, grease, boxs in pristine shape Spooled with steel wire on each of them. Its so shiny, im afraid to use them.

Not to be an just my 2 canadian cents worth For anyone thats wants to weld something to the plug, wedge something in, be perpared, you will have another issues to deal with. A broken bit is enough headaches. There is a guy in the hammer that specializes in this. And he is good at it. He has warned what not to do, just in case. And what to do. If it was not an engine block or a cylindar head, I would say go for it. Damaging the threads in any manner could cause a plug bow out or a compression leak.

I may have to make an inquiry Thanks Cliff . We deal with a lot of stainless, and its a pain is rear to get screws out to change a light on a unit. I like using castles liquid torch, it works better than most Ive tried.
