Last time I had a nail(6mths ago)it was $20 bucks.That was a patch as plugs are not legal anymore

I heard:whistling:,that we give these fish far to much credit regarding line size. Latest word 15lb main line and a 10lb leader is just as good,and lessons your chance of loosing a fish. Actually I read that in a magazine a while back.Not sure if it works.

I don't know kemper,but he's been going on about this for years,maybe the ministry is listening now?Sounds like 14" in the river isn't a bad thing.I hear they put up a a heck of a fight.

I,think Daryl Cronzy said it best,"it's not working here"put the effort into productive species and have them imprint at the top of the river and not throw them off a breakwall into lake Ont or any other lake where predators are waiting to eat them:wallbash:

I'm hooked as well as Brian:thumbsup_anim: you'll love it and if your at the river different times like we were some one will give you some advice and after that away you go. Don't be afraid to ask as well.

x3,like they said,small price to pay for keeping it looking good/no damage.

Lew I think I might just do that . Thanks davey

Roy,it's a expansion thing,I believe there is no water in the lower unit ,but if there was, there was room for expansion of ice.I always fill from the bottom to change or top up the oil. Your thinking maybe drain the oil and all new oil in the spring? davey. Remember the lower end is completely covered in garbage bags and sealed. No chance of rain getting in roy. Let me know what ypu think?

Great job Aaron, this little thing called work(hyd bill,water bill,mortgage etc,)seems to take up a bit of my time. Good for you.

Jer,I take the top plug out for the winter,and in the spring I top up and look for water.I have maybe 30hrs a year.Used for fishing at this point.Thanks guys!

No worries John

You have quite the talent sir!,great job.

Thanks guys for some of your helpful replies. Never quite understood why there isn't a interlock on the key start to make sure there is no chance of starting the boat without the blower running for at least 20 sec. like that gas leak could happen at anytime. I also believe that the less rust you have on your cylinders and rings can't be a bad thing either when you fire up in the spring.

Forgot to mention my motor is a 305 V8,and thank god I did that because I noticed a gas leak on the hose to the carb.Can never be to carefull with i/o boats:worthy:.Probably would of found it in the spring,but just saying.

I've been fogging my motors for years,do you think it really works? and will it do any internal damage?Thanks davey.

Did you flog your motor? Been doing it for years ,now some controversy over it. What have you heard?.davey:thumbsup_anim:

Most were of good size,and I believe they they had a 50"er as well. Hard to believe there are better places then there.

Good questions,can't wait for the feedback

Skipper,we fish the same areas and you don't fish for bass?We need to talk!lol

Growing up and living just north of wasaga,every few years you would get shiners(thousands)on the beach.I Remember birds from time to time washed up on the shore. Ministry always said it was a cycle. We used to have to clean them up ourselves.

Good catch,if I didn't have to work for a living!,I tell ya!.

what the hell was that? Thank god I don't have buddy's or family like that!. Talk about dragging you under the bus. Great video,nature can be cruel.

All the best Brian,as a past and present owner of big dogs,I've been through this many times.It never gets easy but you must believe what your doing is the right and only way. Things will get better,memories last forever.davey.

Congrats on your openness!,I'm sure most everyone on here may have had one too many at one (or two) times and never got caught.All the best to you as I had a friend who was killed by a drunk driver.. Let's get back to posting.
