  1. Dave, unfortunately the Minn Kota Terrova 80 would be running close to 100% to run 2.4 - 3 on my 18ft deep v with a downrigger setup and 4 lines.
  2. I'm 100% with you Fisherman. The "tip" was from a Canadian fishing show, pretty sure it was a well known guy. As soon as I heard it I thought "Ya, that would work", but then the logic felt screwy. I have a Mercury 25hp that needs a trolling plate to get down to 2-2.8 no matter the trim.
  3. Was watching a youtube fishing show and a tip was given to slow down bigger engines to 2mph was to run the bow mount trolling motor backwards? I guess this would work especially with a rudder extension... So just point the tm 180 degrees from your target destination? Left and Right adjustments from gps would be wrong though making it useless to steer? Just doesn't sound right although a rudder extension sounds ok. I see youtube guys strapping plastic cutting boards on the tm shafts... hmmm.
  4. Thank you BillM, yes I have that pdf but was looking for the "service" manual. (parts etc.)
  5. I was actually looking at the Mercury Vessel View module... interesting.
  6. Just looking for a service manual for a 2006 Mercury 115ELPT 4 Stroke. Don't mind the cost just want to get the right one. I've ran across "Oh 2006 was not Mercury it was ..." etc. Probably needs lower gear seals etc. in the spring among other things and thought grabbing a service manual would be a good idea. Found the basic manual for the boat/engine on the Brunswick site but probably have to buy the service manual. Online there are several options ebay/Etsy/ etc. but wondering if anyone here had success purchasing a older manual and could point me to a reliable site. Thx ahead. BTW, Happy Holiday's everyone and many thanks to all in the forums that have helped me along the way (there are many!)
  7. I have a boat travel cover that needs some sewing and wondering about costs in the Hamilton area. Not any real rips just a long section has seams missing that need re-sewing. Anyone have recent work done? Is this going to get crazy expensive for an old canvas cover? (I know a new one won't be cheap either...)
  8. That's great to know about the wrap, thank you. Got any pics of the wrap to share?
  9. steellee, looks good. HtHm may be on to something though...
  10. Just wondering if anyone has had their small aluminum crafts painted. I'm probably going to end up with a 18' Legend that has tons of "dock rash" I know wraps are a option but have seen a lot of bad reviews and only last a few seasons. Not going for a cool design or anything, just plain color with logo decals replaced. Something tells me this will cost higher than the value of the boat...
  11. OK, thank you to everyone for the help. Went to storage and got all the necessary images etc. and information to apply for a pleasure craft license. I ran by the local DOT to confirm I was all set and they were helpful and said to their knowledge all I needed was a valid bill of sale with all the required information needed. They gave me a Canadian Boating Information number 1-877-242-8770 that I could verify this information. I called the number and was informed that I 100% am NOT required to fill out the online application for a pleasure boat license and a VALID Bill of Sale is all that is required to give the next owner. Taxes can be done at DOT on the previous sale BUT was told to hold on to the receipt as this documentation has a high chance of "falling in the cracks" or taking years to actually be verified by the CRA.
  12. Terry I do have a bill of sale with the previous owner. It includes all the previous owners information, (name,address,phone # and signature. Hopefully I can scan that in and forward that with the appropriate pictures etc. I send it in with the form and see what happens.
  13. I have searched through the basement and came up with a Declaration/Receipt (Specified Vehicle Transfer) from the last owner to me. This should do it right? I think this is just the trailer...
