Is it TIME Joe ??? I sure could go for one now...

He's still standing on a corner in short shorts, on West St Hamilton, trying to raise enough money to fix it Brian!!

My 9.9 Merc pro kicker even drains when tilted.. it has an extra hole in the front of the lower unit (by design smart ass! LOL) One thing you do have to watch.. is some of the "pee" lines run from the fitting on one side of the power head base.. under the power head and out the other side. They tend to have a low spot and this can freeze and make you think the water pump isn't running. Most motors these days will go into limp mode if they overheat anyhow.. so not a big deal if you are actually frozen somewhere.. the engine shouldn't be harmed. My Verado.. we fished last year right 'till the day the channel at the ramp was toooo frozen to get out on the lake. Stored in an unheated hangar.

Great stuff indeed Denis !

The other one was trying to rip the rear axle out of a Police car... I know that one works.. ask a few old SFalls cops that drove an LTD with leaf springs and not a GMC with an A arm suspension!

Man.. they must have been bored !

His wife was offered free beer if they stopped in on my dock... but Dan sure wasn't...

Thanks for that Ronnie... you know I needed a smile!

Just wait Old Man... "Winternet" is coming soon!! LOL I was searching for as much information on Temagami that I could find back in 2004 and came across the old OFC board. The rest is history I guess... where did those 6 years go? Have made a lot of great friends, and fishing buddies, because of the participation on this site.

Becomes a real gray area.. as the legislation for doing x KPH within so many meters of shore excludes picking up or dropping off a water skier/wake boarder/tuber.

My argument when I met the OPP's 22' stanley in Suicide Narrows on Temagami head on last year. He was doing 40MPH.. I was idling in a 30 foot wide channel (15' between the markers) They ended up hanging a quick left and nosed up on the shoal (while in full reverse)... I calmly stated "isn't this a no wake zone" and they reluctantly stated.. "I guess it is". BTW.. in a normal navigable channel or narrow body of water.. apparently the no wake thing doesn't apply. The OPP sure don't follow it on our lake and are the worst offenders with a 5' wake that rolls over my floater docks. Nor is there an enforsable(sp) speed limit on the water according to the courts.

We had an ass like that on Temagami last year.. figured he was on the right and to prove the point that he had right of way over an airplane taxing on the water he drove over the right hand float of the airplane. That cost him the left side of his boat from the propellor strike...and the repair costs to a float, propellor, engine rebuild and some serious firewall forward repairs on a Cessna 185! Thank God said ass didn't have a passenger with them... or they would be headless!

The guy under power is at fault without a doubt... especially if they were on his right!

I never unplug my, LED, trailer lights Phil ! If I did.. .my reverse lock out solenoid wouldn't work and my trailer brakes would come on!

That's what Muskie fishing is all about... "one decent fish" !

U shudda bin in ingineer Terry !! (and don't anyone get your knickers in a knot.. Terry knows that I'm keeping my mind occupied!)

That sure cuts your odds Brian...

Damn... and I'm only charging $1200 for my airplane canoe loader.. time to take another look at that!!!

Jay.. a good smooth 2 x 12 plank will probably do the trick if need be. How I use to get a good friend of mine from his handicap equipped van into the passenger seat of my Superbee when I was a teen.

Congrats Fellas... you can't go wrong naming her Leah. Mine's a real special fishing gal and I'm sure yours is gonna be tooo !!

Put a good lawn chair in the boat, if there is room, and leave the power chair on the dock. You're gonna have to lift him in by hand.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph... I wish a broken window was the top of my problem pile this week. I shot my sister in the ass with a pellet gun, by accident, when I was about 10 when staying at Gramma Grahams on Glamour Lake... Gramma beat be raw! I just wish the fishing threads that guys/gals take hours and hours to post got as much attention.

Don't worry Frank.. they sell the best tape on the market (sold as TARP tape)to fix any junk they may sell.

ya got that right Dan! Gone are the days of kids fearing the wood shed unfortunately.

Congrats Curt !!
