  1. I have two 8ah batteries in my finder case. I use the 1000ma charger, for my 10 million candle power flashlight. Works like a charm !
  2. Must have been the weekend for stuff like that... tried to unload my enclosed trailer today... guess I dropped the keys for it in the parking lot! Had to cut them all off...
  3. Well I don't have a soup can lid Jim... but I still have the ravioli lid from Sunday's ice fishing.. will that do??? Has a nice little pull tab to use as a grip spot!
  4. type plasma into that search function.. the debate wasn't that long ago..
  5. hmmm . guess it will continue to be ignored... I'll bump it once.
  6. Not only Orillia.. use to be the norm. Every town along the Rideau River had their dump right beside it in a boggy area. Smiths Falls' was right IN town by Old Sly's locks/rapids. It's now a park and soccer field..
  7. But they'll mess up in the pits with them stuck gas pedals...
  8. My yamahas have been bullet proof. They start first pull or turn of the key and run like a top. The Big bear and Breeze are 15 years old.. the moto 4 is 25 years old. No service on any engine other than the original first oil change when new.
  9. Oldie but Goodie Joe. Nice talkin with ya this morning.. wuss ! lol
  10. Just don't spend the savings on Whiskey !! Congrats fella.. what's it feel like to get a full breath of air...
  11. Easy enough though Rob with a couple of Jack-alls.. or a couple sissor style truck jacks. Why I originally stated to mark the back side of all the ubolts so you know that you've moved them all identically to keep the spring arch the same. Now if your fenders are bolted to the frame without adjustment... you're back to moving bunks and bow stop!
  12. Yep... transfer station.. dump. They weigh you coming in and then out and charge you the difference. Ask the guy if you can take the trailer off the hitch and weigh the boat and slip him $10
  13. What make of trailer is it Rob?? My Shoreland'r.. the axles/springs etc are mounted to a frame of their own.. loosening the eyebolts allows this frame work to slide under the actual trailer frame... unlike some that the spring perches are bolted in place right to the trailer frame... and moving the ubolts with load on them would have the spring spreading the unbolts apart.
  14. If the trailer tracks good now.. just mark the original location of the ubolts on each side.. at rear edge of ALL Ubolts. Then move the assembly forward equally and snug back down. BUT go weigh the whole trailer at a public scale first... so you have a true weight.. then calculate the 9 to 15% tongue weight you want at the ball. 9% if using a lighter vehicle... closer to 15% if using a good truck. To move.. loosen the Ubolts a tad.. block the wheels so they can't move and try backing up the frame with the vehicle. Weight the tongue. Repeat 'till you get it where you want it for tongue weight.. check that the ubolts are equal distance from the starting marks.. adjust if necessary and snug down. Go have fun! Shoreland'r actually spells out 6% on single axle and 5% for a dual axle trailers tongue weight. I think that's a little light.. but they are in the trailer business!! They also suggest that an inch of axle movement equates to about 15 lbs of tongue weight. http://www.shorelandr.com/pages/f_trstep3.html Once you are on the above link... check the other adjustments to be sure your boat is sitting where it should be on the trailer to start with.
  15. Are the springs held on with U-bolts...loosen and slide the whole axle assembly forward on the frame... until you get the tongue weight you want.. BUT before you do that, take it to a scale and actually weigh the trailer loaded exactly how you would usually tow it.
  16. He's gonna take some work Terry... but I think we can train him in time..
  17. Terry, Lloyd and I should have made a list for you today of what to stay away from.. watching them not start...not work right.. Lloyd towing them to shore.. etc.
  18. Wolves... been doing it for centuries.. chase them out on glare ice 'till they break their legs falling.
  19. A much ignored/neglected cause, that many dismiss as a old geezer disease... but in reality more than 75% of those effected, by this currently uncureable disease, are under the age of 25 !
