  1. Interesting video. I understand that trailer wheels are usually lug centred while the wheels on your car are usually hub centred. https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_158950563805113&key=01dde36e9c0645e93f6b0d3674f32af0&libId=ka7i8ys10101q3kx000DAfmqv3xbc&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spoonpullers.com%2Fforums%2Findex.php%2Ftopic%2C37045.15.html&v=1&opt=true&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DocWAZqNGhM4&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spoonpullers.com%2Fforums%2Findex.php%3Fboard%3D2.0&title=Boat Trailer Tires&txt=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DocWAZqNGhM4
  2. Without water? Were you at least using motor muffs? If not, I would replace the impellor too.
  3. I got an email today because I was using the sizing app they have on their site. They said that three blade props perform better for motors under 120 hp. According to them the better hole shot etc., from four blades only applies to motors over 120 hp. I also have a 16' boat with a 50 hp Merc. So, I am interested in hearing how your boat performs with the two different props.
  4. Lead core will snake through the water and add some action to the presentation. You won't get the same effect with a heavy weight at the end of the line.
  5. It's a shallow weedy lake. There are not too many rocks, but lots of stumps in many areas.
  6. Yeah, a really old post; about 10 hours old when you posted...
  7. Has anyone tried a Piranha Prop? Is their performance noticebly different than aluminum props. I am planning to switch to a four blade prop. I remember seeing these at the Sportsman Show and was wondering how they perform.
  8. Good to know. Do you have a link to that information?
  9. A quarter pounder? Is a metal flare gun strong enough to fire a slug? 😉
  10. The term "assault rifle" is not legally defined in Canada. Depending on how you define it, they may have already been illegal.
  11. I just measured mine; it is a touch over 20mm They were mentioned on in a Facebook group.
  12. This is concerning if true. I thought a 10 gauge would be just under the 20mm limit; but I am no expert. https://www.csaaa.org/blair-bans-12-gauge-10-gauge-shotguns-and-hunting-rifles/
  13. I have one that I have used a few times. They work as long as you keep them watered.
  14. I am not sure. It would be more logical to make them illegal; but the government is not always logical.
  15. There are some bolt action rifles included in the ban. But most or the banned firearms are semi-automatics that accept magazines. But not all semi-automatics with magazines have been banned. For the most part, the ones that look like military firearms are banned; one that look like a traditional hunting rifle are still legal. Magazines were already limited to five rounds, so they cannot legally fire a lot of rounds per minute. They can just fire five rounds very quickly before you have to reload. Although, if you were able to get an illegal large capacity magazine, you could fire a lot of rounds per minute.
  16. Killer bees haven't really faded away. They just never made it this far north. They do have them in the southern states. They're not has bad as the media portrayed them back in the 70s; but they do kill people each year.
  17. But if you ever tip or get swamped, you may want the foam...
  18. Are these two actual firearms? Or, websites? (z.085) AR15.Com ARFCOM; (z.086) AR15.Com AR15.Com;
  19. Great Britian is an island that emcompasses England, Scotland, and Wales. United Kingdom is the nation that includes Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, & Wales. If Scotland had voted to separate, they would no longer be part of the United Kingdon, but they would still be located on Great Britian Island.
  20. Going by this, it looks more like Stage 2 to me. But hopefully it will be in Stage 1. Phase 2: Restart Ontario will take a three-stage approach to loosening emergency measures and reopening the economy: Stage 1: Open select workplaces under modified operations (ex. curb-side pickup and deliveries), allow some small gatherings like funerals Stage 2: Open more workplaces (may include some service industries, office and retail businesses), outdoor spaces, and allow some larger gatherings Stage 3: Further relax the restrictions of public gatherings (large public gatherings like concerts and sporting events still be restricted), opening all workplaces responsibly
  21. I think it was a BMW vehicle that they recommend going to the dealer to open the hood. It's a two person job, and there is a You-Tube video on how to do it. There is a small port on the side so that you can boost the car without popping the hood.
  22. Theoretically yes, but you may need another 50 or 60 thousand trucks to handle their minimum order 😉 Now if happened to have a storage tank that can hold a full tanker ship full of oil located near a large port, this would have been a great opportunity.
  23. Johnny Bass? I didn't find him that bad. I think Ken Daley, aka what's his name, was the worst "poo disturber". He would definitely fit the "piece of work" description. Edit. I guess the moderators agree, they even banned his handle 😄
