  1. Nope, 600 efi Wanted to keep weight and price down. I won't be putting enough miles on it to need a 4 stroke My Vector has 30,000 km on it.
  2. I saw that boat up at Northshore the other day. Not a heavy boat but you want at least the 20. I had an old Mirrocraft 14' with a 15 2 stroke and that was just enough. Actually I sold it to a guy on your lake.
  3. I had rooster tails behind the vector. Ordered a new Ski Doo Expedition for next year. Needed a bit more track Fishes got cleaned 10 minutes after the photo
  4. Hey Slayer. Never had our January thaw, No bottom to the snow and wicked slush. I was at a buddies camp near Anjigami
  5. Headed to Wawa for the weekend Through LSSP. Beauty day to travel. Sunny and cool Lotsa snow Like, lotsa snow. Got the Vector stuck 10 times, the Voyager almost the same 4 hours to get a couple km into camp 2 wore out dudes at the end of that day. We took the easy way out the next day. 30km to our second choice lake. It panned out ok Pretty good weekend all in all. Couple shots at camp
  6. I went to our local Trading Post where they sell them. I was unimpressed. The boot feels like hard plastic in the warm store. I can imagine they would crack at 20 below. Super thick liners and stiff Went back to another store and bought my old standard Acton Prairie boot. Light, flexible and warm. Like wearing bedroom slippers Been wearing them for fishing etc for 45 years now
  7. If we had a government worth their salt they would tax the heck out of all carbon burning and people would quit using it and the worlds problem would be solved. People in the "big smoke" could walk to go fishing Too bad they can't just use electricity for everything. I hear thats clean. Especially when it comes from...hmmm where was that again..burning coal?
  8. Thanks Dan I never saw that line
  9. Thanks guys. I have the manual and plug but not the battery box and need to know what side of plug is red. Gotta do what smitty said and poke a hole in the black and see what pin it connects to in the plug. Unless the guy that gave me the unit finds the battery box
  10. I was just given a eagle cuda 300 depth finder for ice fishing. I need to hook a battery to it but I don't have the portable battery pack or plug that connects to battery wire. it has a plug with a T slot and a pin each side. Is there any way to know which side is pos neg without cutting the plug off and just using the red and black
  11. I think they consulted like crazy. This gives CO's sooooo many opportunities to write citations. A minnow trap out of your zone...wow
  12. You can take the unused minnows home I would think, and use them next week in the zone you purchased them as long as you have the receipt and they aren't over 2 weeks old. Your second part makes me think a bit. Possibly the Wawa dealer harvester could sell minnows for both zones as long as they were kept separate and marketed for each zone. Kinda hard to see the government going through the process for this though. They would have to earn their money and trust people.
  13. Bummer. I hope it was just BBQ tank and not the furnace tank. Is the ice road open to camp yet?
  14. It's always coldest right before the sun comes up. Glad my daughter got the heater on her propane tank
  15. Under powered is hard on the engine too. I have a friend that got a 20' tri hull pontoon boat He uses it to go to a remote camp 25 miles up the lake. He loads it pretty good for a week stay up there. Has a 115 on it and now after 5 years his bottom end it toast because of working it too hard. Try and get a bottom end right now with the supply shortages. Make sure whatever you buy is stock and not due in some day.
  16. Sounds like another govt control law to me. I never take my plug out because my boat doesn't leak. Reasonable measures to remove algae and weeds. Who determines reasonable. A CO in a bad mood wants it power washed Never have I ever seen a drain plug in a canoe. Will we be expected to install one. Maybe they should concentrate on ocean freighters before canoes
  17. Thank you. I appreciate that. I likely should have gone to PM but didn't think of it till now
  18. This being a family forum I am happy with the auto correct. Too bad it didn't correct the demeaning r word you managed to slip in as well
  19. My wife, daughter and I all have the Canadian tire ones. Work fine for me and the price is right
  20. Big Basswood Lake blind River Good lake trout
  21. I think until they get educated by a CO. Most of the zone borders I guess really don't mean that much as there are bait shops close by on both sides. The Wawa area is particularly affected with the next closest shop being 150km away from the lake being 2km from home. Wawa doesn't have a lot to offer the population other than fishing so this will hurt if it is enforced. Lots of trout and walleye fishing there where minnows are used a lot in winter.
  22. This is going to bum a lot of people in Wawa out. Some of their best fishing is 2 miles south in a different FMZ and also a different BMZ. Since you can't transport bait fish to a different BMZ the closest they can purchase bait is over 200km away to Sault Ste Marie and only keep it for 2 weeks with a receipt. Can't even catch their own bait in the other zone because it's not their zone of residence. I can drive from Sault with bait purchased here, or trapped here and fish. Somebody should have put some more thought into this as it will affect many isolated communities near a zone border. Yikes
  23. Will there be a carbon tax on the motor or does it make it "carbon neutral" if you have paddles
