  1. Mine plays the odd game with me. Darn certain there is a tee or end resistor with pin contact issues. Is yours built in antenna or external puck? Spray can of contact cleaner to every cable connection might fix you up if external puck.
  2. "They" didn't go anywhere. James is a member here... I'm sure he'll speak up.
  3. Yah Malcolm... what he said ! lol Hear there's still 24 to 28 inches of ice though...
  4. Lookin good. !! How many of them brown bottles has it cost you so far..
  5. Personally I think full synthetics are just hype Ted... and lighten your wallet accordingly. My, hot running (222F oil) supercharged, Verada specifically states you are NOT to use full synthetic but a blend of petro base and synthetic. The 4 stroke Honda or most others need nothing but the engine oil you put in your old car. From the manual The viscosity index (weight) indicates the flow rate of the oil. For most models Honda recommends a 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity oil that meets API service classification SG, SH or SJ. This weight and grade of oil is suitable under most operating conditions.
  6. I'm glad to see anyone win but Kyle... someone needs to right turn him for good..
  7. At some times of year I believe you even need a reservation. Call them or check their FAQ.. http://www.ontarioferries.com/chi/english/index.html
  8. Even my cottage insurance won't cover a "wet" boat house.. so I doubt it... unless of course it's just a patio.. and not a dock.
  9. outlaw sent me the picture of this 37.2 inch 'eye. Guess the guy has a LONG torso because mine is only about 27" from below the belt line to above my eyeballs..
  10. Held until your court date comes up or you pay the fines. Sometimes given back.. other times for public auction.
  11. Possession Steve.... the guy carrying the bucket is in possession. It's all they need if they want to be pricks. Consider the charter boat.. 6 guys.. 12 salmon in the ice box.. who's are they?? If they follow the bucket arguement they would be the boat owners and he should be charged. Isn't going to happen.. so the bucket guys should be fighting in court (if they actually caught less than the limit each)
  12. Another great day on the water David... let the season begin !!
  13. Right click on the picture George. click "properties".. copy that and then come here and type [ img ] [ /img ] and put the properties between them with no spacing between the [ and img or the brackets and the properties.
  14. IMHO do it right the first time and get it over with. Hearing some "solutions" makes my head shake... but I will admit to using spray cans of that magic leak sealer paint "as seen on TV" in the nose of my F-in-laws 12' tinny 20 years ago. Yes it stopped the leak... but only for about 4 uses and then you'd have to do it again. Now I prefer to do stuff right the first time... and did it for 2 different boats yesterday spending 9 hours lying on the floor. One nice 17'6" Grumman hauled all the way from Bolton in that mess and the other a guy from Toronto that happens to have his cottage just North of Penetang and brought his Sea Nymph boat over on the advise of a certain casino pit boss we have here... The 15 year old Grumman had some loose rivets on one side, that where drilled out and replaced with sealed tank rivets.. also adding a couple more to each rib to distribute the load so the starboard side didn't start cracking between rivets like the port side had in three spots. Port side got patches well outside the cracked areas... + added rivets to distribute load as well. Good for another 15 years or more again. The Sea Nymph had broken the hull to seat brace off... rivets sheared off.. cracks between and growing from holes... so I had to make patches for the bottom to fix the cracks and help distribute the load out further for the new seat brace. Sealer looks a mess under it.. but I never clean sealer until it cures. Too many hit it with acetone to clean up and ruin the chemical properties of the sealant. Once it cures lightly, in about 3 days, the excess can be peeled off leaving what amounts to o-rings under the head of each rivet for a nice seal and a clean look. After about a week any remaining sealant is stuck like dung to a cows tail !
  15. Like to see a picture of that one George.. ..and Terry.. just how old IS that blue jacket??
  16. Ref calls.. lack there of, or calling the wrong team for the penalty cost the leafs at least 2 goals... and what Roy said !
  17. Yah got that right Dawg... about as scary as some of the suggestions on the link sirfish put up..
  18. I don't agree with the slot wasted, tastey, fish bass killer and strongly suggest they get rid of the slot.. at least during winter fishing when folks are fishing deep for whities and lakers (and catch pickeral instead)....... but stuffing down the hole is better than losing your sled/hut/gear to the CO when pulled over going home.
  19. She's of course doing the Bird Dance Brandon !!! Shots get better and clearer each time out lad !
  20. Took me a bit... but lets keep in mind that this is BC fishing.. not Ontario as you can't have a line unattended in Ontario. As for the dead fish... no different than the pickeral we pulled up out of 72 FOW ice fishing being DOA... no choice but to stuff them back down the hole dead. You can't possess a slot size fish. If everyone said to the CO " but it was dead"... then every fish caught would "be dead" and retained even if OOS.
