Nah.... Percy the perch... of douGal fame...

Isn't that a ling in 'eye clothing....

The whole things a farse allowing 45 " Lake Trout with no picture etc. At least we know this 38" monster is real.... Congrats Raf !

Perfect platform for the Merc 9.9 Pro Kicker with electric start and tilt !

Man would that be fun.... stuck in 16 inches of slush.... Wonder what's acceptable for patent buy out?

That one's from Lake of the Woods ....

I actually meant to put 12.8 to 14.2 volts.... differernt styles of batteries give different charged outputs. Odysey sealed batteries = higher voltage static. The only true battery test is a load test, but a bad cell will quickly have it showing about 10.5 to 11 volts. Maybe a local garage or marina will do a load test for you in hopes they can sell you a battery. Probably about the only tool I don't have in my arsenal here.

Have you got a volt meter Bill ? Should show about 12.8 to 14.2 volts if it's fully charged. I know my on board... even if the batteries are fully charged... if I unplug and plug back in it will go thru the full sequence. Mine shows 5 green lights and then a red when fully charged. If I unplug, and then plug back in... even after fully charged they start all over again with 5 greens...working their way down to none and the red light to show fully charged.

I was reading it as you charge your battery 100% and then once off charge it quickly drops to 85% charged (this generally shows a cell problem)....not a read out on an auto charger while still powered up. As Cranks points out may be normal for your charger... on high it first hits 100%.. then drops to trickle and slowly works it's way up again with the lower current now showing 85% as it works the last bit to top the battery.

Sulphated plate! Try cranking the charge up so it boils for a bit.. then trickle again.

Was the best I could do for ya Andy ! I still haven't got past naming mine Nightmare Express...

Some people waste good money going to an amusement park for action like that !

So as I browsed a couple stores today and brought home my new finds to put in my tackle boxes.... anyone ever notice that all the ice fishing jigs have the added glow paint dots/glitter and what have you on the TOP. Not the bottom, that the fishies see, to come up and hit ?

Chris has never left my thoughts...

"Grounded"

Not even close to a crash! The TV stations do enough fear mongering... don't add it here!

Purdy fancy Mr. Giesler... now how are you with a chain saw and can I pick you up, say, around 1 pm Thursday! LOL

Yah... but that's a Walleye ! It's from the BOQ... they're only pickeral above Powassan !

I'll second Bruce in Peterborough. They're honest folks. I went to him to build me a trailer and he could have took me for double, but instead went to Oklahoma and hauled me up my 40 foot flat deck instead.

Can you put the fish back in the second shot to make the overall view prettier than the first shot!

No ice in your JD either.... Have fun bud... just enjoy the scenery and fish when you get home!
