I had a guy ask if something he had already bought from me was still available.

Not really new... https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shoreline-outboard-motor-lock-0798595p.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsdiTBhD5ARIsAIpW8CISM88Y9X93bqd7OmNIj0H4eKw2z5_6KwnarpV6P9ybemUlmJx1yEIaAjZfEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=427

Probably short. Almost all small boats are. You can measure it. I think it should be around 15" for a short shaft and 20" for a long shaft.

It's been over two years since Evinrude was shut down. Their smaller motors were made by Tohatsu that were priced about $1,000 more than the same more with either Mercury or Tohatsu decals on them. Bass Pro usually has a sale on Mercuries in the spring. That is where I found the best price. I purchased a 5hp kicker there four years ago.

I think that Nissan would have actually been a Tohatsu with Nissan decals. A 9.9 Merc would be a Tohatsu with Mercury decals. I haven't any any major issues with either my 2008 50hp Mercury or my 5hp Mercury/Tohatsu.

I have contemplated it. I thought of using some 1" square tubing to widen the gunwale.

Here's an idea for an aeriated minnow bucket. https://www.facebook.com/levi.johnson.35574/videos/280406620899285/?fs=e&s=cl

Empty? Or, just too cold for propane?

I hope that anyone with a hut on the ice in that lake installs a red light on their hut just to taunt him.

Perhaps he misunderstood when he heard a women talking about hooking something in the ice hut https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02/10/ohio-hudson-mayor-craig-shubert-ice-fishing-prostitution/

I have a set of 18 Brita water filters selling for $45 for members. I also have a couple of decorative fountain / waterfalls for sale. See Kijiji ads https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1603881644 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1603860557

If they are becoming more common in Manitoba, more will start showing up here too. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/cougars-moving-manitoba-slowly-surely-170634036.html
