  1. don't know for sure but if you are buying a trailer with the boat there should be something about that a the DOT.I am sure someone like evinrude-dude who is in the business would know for sure.BUT be careful a friend of mine bought a boat cheap a few years back that was communal property in a divorce settlement and he was the one that suffered.. vance
  2. I guess you guys missed the video of the well endowed women doing the same thing and I don't think they where wearing gloves ether.And NO they were not -a la apluma(neked). vance

    Roy

    A person goes away for a few months and they miss all the good stuff,its just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vance
  4. My guess would be that for every turn of the handle the spool turns 6.2 times which is a fast return. vance
  5. Nope - logged in and sent myself a email and got it within seconds- must be that your server is having problems. vance
  6. Most systems use 3 cables-1 from the cab and then 2 from that cable to the wheels.None of these are cheap or that easy to fix-before you cut one make sure it is the RIGHT one.If the cab cable is seized just undo the link to the other two. vance
  7. Doesn't matter where you work 95% of the people come to work do their jobs and go home,everybody at sometime has problems that INTERFEAR with work-most of the time these are REAL problems many are life threatening or life changing.When ever you work for a company that only knows you as a number not as a person you need a union because the company only cares about itself not you!!! Yes Nanook most of union calls at work are for the same people for all the usual same reasons that screw the rest of the workers out of real representation,but by mandate the union has to act for the donkeys to save their jobs.Fortunately most unions are LIMITING what they will do for the troublesome few. vance
  8. Sorry Roy you are WRONG to many power tripping IDIOTS work for larger companies and will do ANYTHING to make themselves look good and if they can eliminate a high senority employee they get paid a BONUS. vance
  9. Sorry to say Gerrit that as a fairly new retired GM employ that GM is still using the lash and says to hell with the labour laws.The favorite tactic is to fire you and make you fight it for up to 5 years to get your job back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vance
  10. Has't anyone heard of global warming I am not going to winterize my boat this year because I will be able to use it all winter. Terry is right ice for your drinks. vance
  11. We used to use airplane grade aerlon wire and unravel it and use the single strands much like johnF does with picture wire but this stuff is very flexable and easy to work with as long as you are using pliers. Oh yeah did I mention it is very STRONG. vance
  12. A friend of mine bought an ETEC last year he LOVES it.The economy is so good that he took the boat back to the dealer because he thought for sure the gas gauge wasn't working but it was.All us regulars at the lake are planing on switching over on the next boat. vance
  13. I/Os are heavy boats ,if you are going to tow it any distance you will need a REAL tow vehicle.They are NOT a small water boat and are usually harder to put on a trailer than a outboard.Then you run into the extra regulations for I/Os for safety reasons.From what I have heard winterizing can be a real pain! vance
  14. Staples-business depot have several most with a light http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku....;affixedcode=WW also http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_...fromSearch=true vance
  15. I haven't seen it from watching WFN but it seems to be a very good ad.I like short concise informative commercials and you have got it all!! vance
  16. Even if the wash station was implemented and most LAW ABIDING boaters used it there would still be the 10-20% that would use the back roads to go around it to save themselves from having to get it done thus negating any benefit .I travel to the Pickeral river many times thru the year and I have yet to find anywhere something that will kill all the things that I could be bringing with me. If I am using my boat down south all the drains and intakes are plugged when in the water and I NEVER take it out the week before I head north.I don't see how you can completely wash your boat when it's on the trailer even though I try. vance
  17. My father went to Korea just after I was born and the first thing I can remember of him after he came home was him diving under the dining room table in Kingston yelling for us to get down when a plane went over the house.It wasn`t until years later while out hunting and being shot at by some idiot that I realized what stress he must have been under. vance
  18. Fished for 30 years and never needed pliers and then I caught a muskie-now I have pliers-- nice fish vance
  19. My friends and I went to college or university in the early 70's, NONE of us actually worked in the fields that we started out in . The one guy with the PHD NEVER worked in his area of expertise because he was too smart and went strait to mamagement and is now a CEO of a big multinational company. Take heart not all is lost it is just another turn of the road of life. vance
  20. Count me in if an opening is availible. vance
  21. Its funny that 2 of 3 computers in the house with macafey would not work but the third one will with no problems.Tried to set up the other two the same as #3 but no luck so now I run free AGV on the two.Macafey has a patch download to fix the problem but it didn't work. vance
  22. The owner of the park where I have my trailer is fighting cancer and I am doing my best to help him and his wife out,so far I have organized most of the seasonal campers into helping but most are in their 70s and it keeps me busy. vance
  23. OH THANKYOU GREAT ONE there are just too many things that I should remember but can't-- the hard drive is FULL!!!!! vance
  24. So I just bought this new all singing and dancing lap top but how do I get the text larger for the board? It has to be simple as I did it before but can't rember how I did it. vance
