  1. Oh Dan... if you want a good steak diner.. shuffle across to Houstons at Front and Young. In the North end of the building on the N/E corner of the intersection... Make someone else pay..
  2. I gave mine away for free on bi-polar.com
  3. We sure are salty... we've done time in there tooo..
  4. ..and you're leaving the cap loose to bleed the air off until the pressure comes in good?? All it takes is one good bubble to loose it's prime..
  5. Now that's the perfect example of how to spend a day !!
  6. http://www.ehow.com/how_5003958_prime-jet-water-pump.html Saves some typing.. hopefully you have a tub of water or a close neighbours tap to get buckets of water.
  7. Thanks for the report !! I was looking at a place, as a rental/investment, on the lake a couple of years back. The concensus that the lake was pretty much fished out stopped my progress into the purchase. LOL.. how time flies.. now that you pulled up the old thread.. it was 4 years ago I was asking.
  8. It doesn't look right Dax and you'd never think it would work, but YES... pos to pos.. neg to negative from each charger bank to each battery. Makes you scratch your head considering there is now a postive and a negative charging wire side by side.. connected together by that big battery cable between the batteries.. but I assure you it will work just fine.
  9. That's too bad pilge... if you do it again.. make a wooden one ! Never had issue with mine and it's still going strong, as far as I know, after over a decade.
  10. FWIW.. I have never had my ccard scammed buying on line. The local full serve Noco Gas station... another story all together!!! For all locals here.. don't ever buy gas there or walk your card inside. They write all your info down off the card and knowing you're a regular pull out the phone book to find your phone number and mailing address to complete the puzzle. Then they try to order stuff on line with your card.
  11. But it's still a wooden transom board.. no? Terry's is wood, or I've lost my beans... and his is a Genesis IV. I sold it to him. Just recruised their site and I see they're now using a moulded transom. Since you have that one... did you forget it somewhere??
  12. What he said.. I always had good luck with Starbrite hull cleaner on my painted aluminum boats. I'd pull the boat out in Temagami.. spray it off in Sundridge to get the major stuff and then when I got around to it spray the hull down with Starbrite and hit it with the hose here at home. The starbrite eats the algae and the hose keeps it from eating into your paint! Last fall I scrubbed the boat immediately, with a bent head sponge floor mop, as it was pulled out of the water (after 5 months in the lake). It's as clean as it's ever been, so once you get it clean it's a lot easier to just keep it that way by scrubbing it immediately when wet.
  13. Good to hear they're good to deal with.. but that's an expensive piece of 3/4" plywood. Now that you have a new one.. reinforce it with a piece of 1" x 1" x 0.125 alum angle. It will make the world of difference and your transom board won't warp when parked in the sun with the motor up. This one's Terry's.. he had to have the drink holders...
  14. LOL Doug.. be sure to point the sled at the shoreline! Gonna be dark soon...
  15. They do exist... there's one on Kijiji for sale.. (it could have been named after a basketball though!)
  16. I just hope he gets to order room service on someones tab Roy !
  17. Thanks Tom and et all... we have a straight run.. other than I built the stairs with "the suggestion" that they turn over the last 5 steps by making tapered treads so that you would get the illusion you need to turn as you exit the bottom of the stairs. Works great, but it does make for a small concave shape to the stair rise overall. Shouldn't be an issue, I'll just have to modify the center support legs or shim the ones that come with the lift. Screwing into my nice oak stairs isn't high on my want to do's.. but what can you do. Dan B has me all set if I need him, with a generous offer to supply and install. I also have a lightly used one lined up that has the 17' track that I need. Dan says adding a bit isn't generally possible as they normally get sold as 16' units and get cut down for shorter rises. IE: they're designed for one mid span joint using two 8 foot tracks.. not a 2nd joint to add a bit to them with the rack and pinion gear having to mess perfectly. Hoping Leah gets a chance to talk with the other girls mother soon. Either way I may just go snap up the used one I found as I can always resell it if I don't, and hopefully don't, install one.
  18. Took a little notch off of your Karma meter Lew.. nothing else!!
  19. Great stuff Dan.. as we discussed.. at this point I'm still at home and hope I get to stay here. If that changes I'll let you know..
  20. Thanks guys.. indoor.. 17 ' +/- straight stair case (16 steps).
  21. Thanks Dan.. found a 17' track Acorn in Flamborough that will be just long enough for our staircase, but I'm not gonna jump just yet. Leah's going to talk to another Mother who's daughter had similar surgery last year and get her opinion on what they did. We can't make it too easy for Jen, unfortunately, or it wouldn't be doing her a favour in the long run. I'll watch for your PM and let you know! THANKS
  22. Looks like he swam a little fast into a pier early in life!! Whities shooting up.. I thought that's what they all do.
