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.

No, just six.

Didn't he also say something about that Hammond guy never playing in the NHL again? https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/goalie-dubbed-hamburglar-guides-avs-game-6-vs-235037669--nhl.html https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/21/andrew-hammond-is-the-unexpected-gem-of-the-matt-duchene-trade/

That's yours and Matt's problem; not mine.

Out of the gate would be October. You were still talking about them winning the cup well into November.

I don't recall anyone expecting the Leafs to win the cup. You did seem to think Ottawa's chances were pretty good though...

One way? You mean there's another way to view it?

Ethically, I would agree with DanD. Chrysler should honour the terms of the agreement that they sold. If they chose to outsource their warranty to an unethical company, that's their problem. They should go after the warranty company to recover the funds that they pay out to their customers. Similarly, I think Toyota should have honoured the extended warranties that they sold to their customers. It's not the customers fault that Toyota chose to outsource their extended warranty to a financially unstable company. Legally, I am sure that they have covered their behinds and are not liable. I just don't think that it's an ethical way of doing business.

What exactly did you ask him? As previously explained, without a livewell that meets the required specifications, all of the fish that you retain will count towards your daily limit. It is perfectly legal for someone to bring in a live fish to weighed and released (assuming that it is still healthy). However, that fish counts towards their daily limit even though it has been released. If they have a cooler full of water. They can put a fish in the cooler, replace it with a bigger one, and then weigh the second fish in for the derby. But that would count as two fish towards their daily limit. If they keep upgrading their fish, they will eventually exceed their daily limit. So there is a potential for them to break the law. Where as a person with a conforming livewell does not have any limit to the number of times that they can upgrade their catch. So there is a potential for someone to exceed their limit if they continually upgrade their catch, they are not automatically in breach of the law by participating in the derby without a conforming livewell. A person keeping a single fish in a cooler full of water would be limited to upgrading their catch five times in one day. A person without a livewell who was fishing close enough to the weigh in station to rush their fish in with a livewell could legally enter up to six fish in one day. I think it is pretty clear.

I can see where he's coming from. When people use the term "white bucket", white generally refers to the colour of the bucket. White is a common colour for buckets. Yellow, is not a particular common colour for buckets. So people interpret "yellow" as a reference to east Asians and implying that east Asians are the only ones that keep too many fish. That was my thought when I first read the term "yellow bucket".

Regulations: "Generally, daily catch limits include all fish that are retained for any period of time and not immediately released. Anglers fishing from a boat may catch, hold, and selectively live release more Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass than the daily limit, provided: (a) the fish are held in a livewell with a mechanical aerator operating at all times (see Angler’s Guide, page 8, for livewell requirements)," But if you read the whole regulations you can see that having a conforming livewell allows you to retain more fish than your daily limit. Fish that are placed in a livewell and later released are considered to be retained and count towards your daily limit. However, they make an exception and allow you to retain more than your daily limit provided you have a livewell that meets specified requirements. If your livewell does not meet the specified requirements, it is still legal to retain and later release a fish. However, that fish counts towards your daily limit. So you are limited in the number if fish that you can cull during the day. If they are only putting one fish in the livewell, they can legally upgrade that fish five times through-out the day. Replacing your fish with a bigger one a sixth time in one day would be illegal because that would be considered your seventh fish retained that day. If you have a conforming livewell then there is no limit to how many times that you can upgrade your fish. The laws concerning selecting releasing of fish were added within the last 10-15 years. Prior to that, tournament anglers were breaking the law by over culling their fish.

As previously stated, that's a misinterpretation of the rules. It's not illegal, but the fish count towards your daily limit. It would appear that the MNR agrees with my interpretation.

None that I can see. However, there are some limitations. I.e. no more than five 'upgrades' if you have a single fish; and only healthy fish can be released.

I think you are misinterpreting the regulations (see below). I don't see where it says that fish put in a non-conforming livewell must be consumed. I only see that they count towards your daily limit and cannot be released if they are not healthy enough to survive. If they are only counting the largest fish, then there would be little if any culling; so they should be okay. A conforming livewell is required in order to "selectively release" (i.e. cull your fish) without the culled fish counting towards your daily limit. If your livewell does not meet the stated requirements, then any fish that you put in the livewell will count towards your daily limit regardless of whether or not it is released later in the day. As long as they don't put a seventh fish in the livewell that day then they will still be okay. That is a seventh fish for the day; not at one time. Once you put your first fish in the livewell, you can upgrade it five times. After than any fish you catch must be immediately released. If it's bigger than the one that's in your livewell, too bad. I don't think that many anglers would have to upgrade more than five times in a day. Now, if it was a fish limit, that would be different. Culling with five fish in the well would put you over the limit if you don't have a livewell that meets the stated requirements. Regulation "Livewell – A livewell is a compartment designed to keep fish alive. For a livewell to be used to selectively release Bass, Walleye and Northern Pike, it must be attached to or form part of a boat, hold a total volume of not less than 46 litres (10 gallons) of water, have the capacity for water exchange and be mechanically aerated at all times when live fish are being held in it (see Ontario’s Catch and Retain Rules, page 9). Remember, live fish may not be transported overland without a permit. Livewells should be drained before leaving a waterbody." Additional Regulations "Generally, daily catch limits include all fish that are retained for any period of time and not immediately released. Anglers fishing from a boat may catch, hold, and selectively live release more Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass than the daily limit, provided: (a) the fish are held in a livewell with a mechanical aerator operating at all times (see Angler’s Guide, page 8, for livewell requirements), (b) the fish comply with any applicable size limits, (c) the Sport or Conservation Fishing Licence daily catch and retain limits for Walleye or Northern Pike are not exceeded at any one time, (d) no more than six Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass (or any combination) are retained at any one time for fish caught under a Sport Fishing Licence, or, (e) the Conservation Fishing Licence catch and retain limits for Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass (or any combination) are not exceeded at any one time for fish caught under a Conservation Fishing Licence. Anglers are reminded to closely monitor the condition of fish held in a livewell. Only fish that are in such a condition that they will survive may be released. Releasing a fish that will not survive and allowing the flesh of that fish to be wasted is an offence. Any fish not live- released are part of your catch limit and your possession limit.

Realistically, they cannot afford to give every one who doesn't use the warranty their money back. They need that money to pay for the people who have major repairs. The only way they can stay in business is if they can find excuses not to refund the warranties. It's obviously not the most ethical way to do business, but they cannot make this offer without there being a catch somewhere.

Don't forget about any hardware on the garage door either. If it's that close, handles, etc. on the garage door could be a factor too. A big gouge across the top of the motor before you even get the boat in the water won't be pleasant.

People would watch them play against the Leafs...

Which war? Didn't they leave the NHL around 1934? That's about 17 years after WWI and five years before WWII. Trying to blame their departure from the NHL on either of those wars is quite a stretch. The remnants of the team did operate outside of the NHL until 1954. So you may be able to blame the end to their misery on the Korean war.

I think you may be confusing side imaging with the old side view transducers. I doubt that you are going to see 240' off to the side with side imaging. Years ago, many of the sonars had a transducers pointing horizontally to side. They may have give a view 240' to the side. I don't think any of the manufacturers even make those anymore; so it probably wasn't that useful. The new side imaging technology shows a lot of detail down and to the side of your boat; not 240' off to the side.

There are other options...

Aren't you supposed to be able to identify who owns each fish if they are in a shared freezer or live well? That's pretty easy to do with fish in a freezer; not so easy with minnows in a tank.

That must be the daily limit on your account. I have done a couple of email transfers for $3k each.

I saw this on FaceBook yesterday

Am I reading this correctly? I know that walleye is closed all year on Scugog. I was also under the impression that the lake was closed to all fishing during the winter. However, when I read the exceptions below, it seems like only the portion of the lake within 100m of the causeway is closed. If I read this correctly, I could fish for crappie anytime of the year. I just cannot fish within 100m of the causeway between Nov 16 and the 2nd Sat in May... Lake Scugog - 100 m (328 ft.) on both sides of Hwy. 7A (causeways) - Scugog Twp. - Fish sanctuary - no fishing from Jan. 1 - Fri. before 2nd Sat. in May & Nov. 16 - Dec. 31.

The cheque could still bounce. Going with him to his bank to get a bank draft is a good idea though.
