I just purchased a new boat and motor and was told i had to bring in for a 20 hour inspection. I guess it is different from one place to the next. In my Merc manual it say 10hrs too AS long as its close to the hour it shouldnt be a problem.

What a hoot !! Thanks for that Pete.

Its a real risk that all of us who like to fish, and the outdoors are exposed to. Sun screen is always a pain in the butt, but i use it everyday that i am on the water.The product that i use is a spary on spf60 by coppertone.You dont have to rub it on, or get your hands all greasey. Which means you are not transfering the product you your lures and bait. Dont be a hero.Protect yourself.

What Dan said. I did a bit of research earlier, and there are other cedar based diseases that have been decimating wild and nursery grown cedars throughout canada, not to mention diseases that affect other species that can be transported in the soil around the roots. I am sure however, that your expertise in this field means that you have done or will do the proper research on the areas where the trees will be reomoved

No attack Dan !! We love all of you guys. Its Group Dynamics thats all.People in a crowd tend to lose individuality and begin to follow 'percieved leaders' under certain circumstances.Follow the leader syndrome. Like i said before, i think all of you guys are doing great.Keep doing it

i like this one better

Welcome to OFC and Canada Dude ! Hope ya stick around ! Paul

Now thats precise, expert info Ron . I knew you could give Mike some advice.Always best to hear it from a Pro.

Now thats a great idea If ya can pull it off

Sounds to me you are going to be busy this summer, what with cedars and tiling. Splashhopper is the grout guy you need.I'm sure he will chime in here sooner or later. Good luck on the reno's Paul

Now starts the quest for alternative lubrication....."SIGH".

sorry, but thats funny as hell

1.65 / LITER ??? i think i'm gonna faint......

Skeets, I'm just so happy to have met you.Always so helpful

Roy said the same thing on Saturday.I better keep the bailing bucket under the console just for that reason

Don, thats probably the smartest thing i've heard so far.That will be exactly what i will do.No Rush after all

Always look forward to your posts !!! Fish are purdy and the pics are fabulous Thanks again for a great repport. Paul

But if you put the boat level, and install the transducer level with the bottom of the boat, wont the transducer be slight tilted towards the front once the boat is in the water? The stern is normally slightly lower than the bow when the boat is in the water.

those big bully frogs will eat anything they can get into thier mouths ! I saw one eat a sparrow that landed too close one time. Never had a chance

I taped it to the shaft !! JK I attached it with a tie wrap, 1 at the bottom just above the motor unit, and 1 at the top, just under the head unit. I raised and lowered the motor, and the wire is clear of all moving parts. Will that work ?

Its a modified V hull. Good idea for the cutting board. I think Billy Bob mentioned this idea to me also, a while back, but im getting old Humminbird instructions are so complicated.They talk about transon angle and all kinds a stuff. I'll finger it out.

The Bow finder is mounted on the bow mount trolling motor, the console finder will be on the transom.I like the look of the transom mounting plates Thanks guys

I thought it was Jamais MesAmis.

Spent the day yesterday installing the trolling motor and electronics on the new ride.Last thing now is to mount the transducer.In a cold sweat just thinking about drilling a hole in the hull. Share your tricks please

Will the last person to post on this thread, kindly turn off the lites Thank you and good nite
