Thanks guys.

Not to high jack, but how does Sufix 832 compare to Power Pro on spinning gear?

Always sad to hear of someone's passing. Even sadder when it's a good friend. Someone you are close to. Sorry for your loss.

Obviously the "seatbelt" was their first priorty. The breathalizer would have been secondary. Wish these guys were on the ball 24/7. Highways today are simply places for accidents looking for a place to happen. ZIG, ZAG, ZOOM! ZOOM.ZOOM. Just can't comprehend the mentality. Hurry and rush up to the next bumper!!! Then change lanes and were on to the next bumper. For Christ's sake, go with the flow. Life could be so much safer!!!!!!!!!

I had the same experience last Summer. I spent several days pounding T posts into the ground repairing a fence. At one point I twisted and turned as I bent down to pick up the next post. Something went twang in my lower left side. Much like a guitar string breaking. After that I could barely move. It killed me just to get in and out my car. Even dressing and undressing killed. I was downright miserable. The physio therapist I had started out too aggressively as well. First visit was an assessment. Second visit I came out feeling worse than when I went in. Third visit I told her straight up that she was doing more harm than good. Told her that the excercises she had assigned only amplified the pain. She adjusted her program and in about 8 weeks things were back to normal. No lingering after effects. Good as new. That is if you can call 65 new.

Be there again sometime next month. Thanks for the heads up.

I was in St. Thomas most of the day Tuesday. Spent the night in London and most of the day there yesterday. I wanted to visit Angling Sports but it wasn't listed in my GPS. Ended up stopping in at Angling Outfitters in Woodstock on the way home. More than worth a look. On a side note, while in St. Thomas I was parked outside a store waiting for my wife. The adjacent property had many crab apple trees in one the corner of this large lot. The trees were absolutely filled with Robins. First time in my life, I've seen that many Robins in one place. Seems Spring has sprung.

The owner(s) of the board probably don't see it as such. 1193 views and counting. 65 replies. Seems many here too would also disagree. Otherwise there would be little or no no participation. Simply a discussion in the General Discussion Section of a Discussion Board. Don't like it. Don't read it. Nothing good to say. Don't say it. Winter Net! Springfever! Whatever! Oh the shame!

"Guys" just seems unproffessional. Most servers will use it over and over. Same table. Same guests. "How are you guys tonight? Get you guys something to drink? Everything alright here guys? Any dessert guys? Any change here guys? Thanks guys.Have a good night guys!". As opposed to: "How are you folks doing tonight? Can I get you something to drink? Is everything alright here? Anyone care for dessert? Need any change here? Thank you and have a good night! All bases covered without the use of the word "GUYS". Petty perhaps but a little easier on the ears. Especially for those accustomed to something more courteous, professional and polite.

Perhaps this may help you see ma'am in a different light. The dictionary defines ma'am as: 　 ma'am - noun: ma'am - used to politely speak to a woman whose name you do not know. - a term of respectful or polite address used for a woman. Can also be used: - as a term of address for a ranking female officer in the police or armed forces. - In Britain as a term of address for female royalty. .

Growing up (now almost 65) we always said ma'am. Still use it to this day. "Can I help you with that ma'am. I'll get that for you ma'am." Really don't understand how it came to be considered demeaning or derogatory. In my time it was out of respect. Simply being polite. In my day a "dude" was someone that dressed in fancy clothes and went out and strutted his stuff. Now everybody's a "dude". So, what do I know?

I've owned two Suzies. 1995 15 hp two stroke oil injected. 2001 15 hp four stroke. Both were absolutely flawless. No issues whatsoever.

Lived in Caledonia for the past 27 years. Some of the nicest people I've met or dealt with are from the Reserve. People are people. Bad apples in every batch. During the Douglas Creek stand off, the real trouble makers were militants. Mostly from south of the border. They know they'd be shot if they pulled that crap in the US. On another note, an area resident parked his truck at the Legion in Caledonia one night. Went in for a few. Came out and started screaming that his truck had been stolen. Told the police he was on his way home from work when he stopped in. All of his equipment was in the truck. He embelished anything and everything he could in terms of contents for the theft report. He was a small time handyman/renovator. He had his two sons steal it. The boys took the truck out onto the reserve and torched it. One of the boys had a problem with keeping his mouth shut. Was bragging to his friends about it in a local Timmy's. Turned out he was in close proximity to an off-duty police officer. BUSTED! All parties involved were non-native. All were convicted. Whole lot of insurance fraud going on. Especially in difficult times.

NEW-SKIN liquid bandage http://www.newskinproducts.com/ Comes with a brush and is applied like a clear nail polish. Instant relief for those exposed nerve endings. Seems to promote healing as well. Spend a lot of time outdoors in the Winter. Best thing I've ever used.

I keep the original packaging for most everything. Cameras, lenses, fish finders, other small electronics, reels, etc. Seems you get a better price when it comes time to resell. For whatever reason a buyer is more easily enticed if it's all there and intact.

Had an F20 Yamaha on a 14' Misty River.. Standard factory supplied prop. For whatever reason the F20 is about 2.5 inches longer than the 25 Yamaha two stroke that I replaced. I cut a piece of 2X2 the width of the mounting bracket. Placed it under the bracket. This raised the anti cavitation plate so it was just slightly below the bottom of the boat. The less motor you have in the water the less resistance. Once you find your sweet spot, drill holes and bolt the motor to the transom. In the meantime make sure the thumb screws are good and tight and secure a safety chain. Three adults and all of our gear it ran out at 17-18 mph. With that load I ran the tilt pin in the third hole up from the bottom. Otherwise the boat is plowing. Solo with my gear it ran out at 23 mph. I had to lower it to the second hole from the bottom, otherwise the boat would porpoise. I would also intentionally move as much weight forward as possible. This also assisted in preventing porpoising. Ideally you want as much boat out of the water as possible. Tilting the motor out and away from the transom forces the back end down and lifts the bow. Too much and the boat will porpoise. Not enough and the boat will plow. Experiment until you find the balance. Once you do I think you will be pleased. 14' Misty River. Dry weight 305 lbs. Bench seats. No floor. Bow mount electric and series 27 deep cycle battery. F20 manual start. Three swivel seats. Gear. Plus me at 230 lbs. 23 mph. The 25 Yamaha two stroke ran out at 25 mph solo. 21 mph with three. Smaller boats are load sensitive. Proper trim and balance are the key.

A toonie! Really? You guys need a reality check. Open your eyes and look around, Homeless living on our streets. No food, No shelter. Many here will drop well over a grand on a custom rod and reel. Yet you'll whine about a toonie. Get a grip!!!!!!!!!

Who swapped out the lower unit? There is a linkage rod that runs to the gear case. In order to remove the lower unit the linkage rod must be disconnected. Over the years I've encountered similar problems after replacing a water pump impeller. Sounds to me like the linkage rod may need a little tweeking. Cables have been known to slip over time. They too can prevent forward and reverse from properly engaging. Given the recent replacement of the lower unit, I'm betting it's just a matter of adjusting the linkage rod. Hope this helps and good luck.

Always good to know all the options before diving in head first. Glad to help.

Want to add to the confusion? Take a look at the mirrorless system cameras. Sony A6000 produces amazing images straight out of the box. (no post processing) 24 megapixels. Same size sensor as DX format DSLR's. Interchangeable lense sas well as optional Zeiss lenses. I recently sold my Nikon D7000/16-85 lens because the images from my new Sony are better. Convenient. Small bag. Zeiss 16-70 f4 zoom. I strongly suspect that in the not too distant future DSLR's will go the way of the dinosaur. A few examples: Sony A6000 with 16-50 kit lens. Straight out of the box. Have since purchased the Zeiss 16-70 for slightly more zoom range in a walk around lens. Been too busy to test drive it yet.

Turkey's stuffed and just gone in the oven. Gonna smell like a little piece of heaven around here in no time. Done the fried turkey thing a few times. In my book, nothing beats a roasted turkey with stuffing and all the trimmings. Happy Thanksgiving.

It'll keep coming up time and time again. Ten guys in a room and you'll get ten different answers. You want real peace of mind? Pick up a phone and call a dealer. Right off the bat he's going to tell you to keep fogging oil far and away from fuel injectors. The only engines I have ever fogged are two strokes. For the simple reason oil in the upper cylinders is burned off during combustion, When you run the carburetor dry, you also starve the upper cylinders of lubricant. As the engine burns off the last bit of fuel, it also burns off the last bit of oil in the upper cylinder. This will lead to corrosion. Temperature change will generate condensation resulting in damaged cylinder walls and the upper piston rings. Four strokes lubricate the rings and upper cylinder during each stroke. Therefore all internal components remain lubricated throughout the Winter months. Always change the gear oil in your lower unit before Winter. If has become contaminated with water as a result of a leaking seal it can freeze. This can cause expansion, resulting in a cracked gear case. I have a 40 hp. Mercury Four stroke EFI. I add stabilizer. Run it for 15 or 20 minutes to ensure the stabilizer is throughout the complete system. Change the engine oil and filter. Change the gear oil. Then put her to bed for the winter. I syphon off the remaining fuel from the tank and use it up in my snowblower.

Great link! Thanks for sharing.

Only two gas stations in my little town. Shell is still $123.9 Pioneer is $119.9

With the introduction of ethanol, times have changed. For the sake of a few dollars worth of prevention, why would you take the chance? Care for your equipment properly and it will last for years and years.
