  1. Central Outboard Marine is at Woodbine & #7
  2. Calls to reduce phosphorus in the Lake of the Woods basin. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/time-act-algae-now-says-100000934.html
  3. At least they have a good shot at getting the first overall pick next spring
  4. Montreal acquires Max Domi in exchange for Alex Galchenyuk
  5. But they have the best odds of getting the first overall pick He could turn out to be someone who makes a really big difference to the team that drafts him
  6. Yes, Springboks became Princecraft. Princecraft is now owned by the owners for Mercury Outboards. Springbok was owned by Alcan.
  7. They spawn in the Sargasso Sea. Actually, the baby eels would be heading out of the sea into fresh water. They spawn in the Sargasso Sea and then head into the inland waters to grow to adulthood before returning to the sea to spawn. I don't think they've been fished out here. But all of the dams and locks in our water ways is making it more difficult for them to migrate back and forth from the sea.
  8. Cover your vehicle in custom "fridge magnets". I saw something like this at the Sportsman Show a few years ago. Here's a link - http://www.protec-magnet.com/home.html
  9. Most of the modern natural gas heaters are power vented and have electronic ignition; so they need electricity to run. I suspect that the propane ones are the same. However, a generator should be able to provide enough power for the ignition and venting.
  10. Why should GoFundMe be run as a not for profit?
  11. The truck driver had a stop sign and the bus driver didn't. They are still investigating, but unless the brakes failed on the truck, it seems unlikely that they could come to to any conclusion other than the truck driver being at fault.
  12. Looking at the quotes from the regulations summary (see below). The rope lure would seem to fit the definition of angling rather than 'non-angling methods'. According to the regulations, angling require a line; it doesn't mention hook. Non-angling methods of capturing fish include: dip nets, seine nets, spears, and bow & arrow. The rope lure certainly doesn't fit any of those. Based on what I see on the summary of regulations, I would interpret the rope lure as 'angling' rather than a 'non-angling method of capturing fish' As per the regulations summary: Angling – Angling means fishing with a line that is held in the hand or attached to a rod that is held in the hand or closely attended. Residents and non-Canadian residents with a valid recreational fishing licence may fish with one dip net, one seine net, one spear or a bow and arrow for the species and during the periods outlined below. Dip nets may be no more than 183 cm (6 ft.) on each side if square, or 183 cm (6 ft.) in diameter, if circular. Seine nets may be no more than 10 m (32.8 ft.) long and 2 m (6.5 ft.) high. Spears cannot be possessed on or within 30 m (98 ft.) of the edge of any waterbody except when fishing for carp and white sucker as described on this page. Northern Pike spearing is not allowed. Bow and arrow: includes all longbows. Longbows are considered a firearm under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.
  13. If you're worried, just put some dowels or bolts through the top piece that will sit out side of the gunwales. You may need to loosen the bolts a little more to get it on; but it won't be sliding forward one once it's tightened up.
  14. From Ontario? If not, it may have been legal in their location.
  15. Are you planning to use this for towing or just storage? I use a frame made by Navigloo for winter storage. It works well; but it's not for towing and takes a little too long to setup for covering the boat between trips.
  16. It sounds like whatever you guys were getting just hit Scarborough now. No evening fishing on Lake Ontario tonight.
  17. I think this is a traditional two stroke. They were made until at least 2008.
  18. I am no expert; but that sounds more like neutral than brakes...
  19. My first choice would be to add a piece behind what is already there rather than replacing it altogether.
  20. I was hoping for 5th. But 4th isn't too bad. But I am sure they'll win the first overall pick next year
  21. Yeah, she thought his "handle" looked special
  22. Government unions is probably one of the reasons. They would consider that taking work away from the unionized city workers; and there is truth to that view point.
  23. Is there any need to upgrade wire when going from 12 to 24 volts? A 24 volt motor actually draws fewer amps than a 12 volt motor. Having said that. My boat came with 12 gauge wiring with storage for a single battery. I don't think that running 55 amps (typical for 12v motors) through 12 gauge wire is a good idea. So don't assume that any wiring that was put there by the manufacturer is adequate.
