Al: What Alan said is the way to do it unless you pull the lower and pull the carrier. Then you can use a bit more heat. I don't kn how bad yours is bent but make sure to pull the prop and put a wet rag as Al stated around the prop shaft right tight to the seals, and try to straiten out a small portion at a time. Work your way from the bottom up

Umm I don't think so less your 7' tall. Sold and rigged a lot of em and no complaints. Ask Billy what he thinks of his. 26 and 28 are basically the same cockpit. Freeboard and area.

315-483-8567 Bill or Joan.

I have not installed one or serviced any yet, but the reviews I have read are mostly positive.

Don't forget that if your watching speed as well. With the probe down in the ice water and your main rigg's 20 or so ft above it. you very well might not be running them at the speed you think you are. Down currents are strange at times. As in down current sheers etc. Many times I've seen a westerly current down to X amount of ft. Drop the probe down 20 or so in the ice and it's exactly the opposite Best to ck down speed at different depths from time to time to see what's going on. I'll usually find 48 to 52 for king's and ck. speed to start and setup there, but use the probe after with a spoon up and down to see whats going on down below. No set rules. A lot of times knowing your speed in your spread is more important than temp. esp. with kings.

Posted this on another tread, but it's room for thought as well as promoting LOU. I don't think I can make it out there. But why not get some simple name tag's on your coat or shirt with LOU and your user name on them so some of you that have never met in person can figure out who's who. Maybe just Lake Ontario United or LOU on them. Just a suggestion. Don't shoot the messenger. Coure if Ray wasn't in FL. He'd want you to walk around with either a pink ribbon tied round your head or camo thongs.

30# Big Game

Big Game hands down. 15# till the fleas show-up. Then 30# on the rigger rod's after.

As Bill and Mower said above. As long as you have a water separator filter on it, ( if you don't put one on. It's a good investment) and replace it before you start it up, and check and replace it a few times after, you should have no problems especially if you had a stabilizer in it. If you have a filter on it the only problems you might encounter is the old fuel that was setting in the carb for that long varnishing. After you have run it awhile and if it seems ok add some fresh fuel and, or octane booster to it to get what's in there back up. On another note: If it hasn't been run in a year or so pull the coil wire & ground it and, or disable the ignition system, and turn the engine over until you have oil pressure before you fire it up. I am assuming this is an I/O. But the same will hold true with an O/B depending on what it is.

Sorry Yankee: You already had it above.

Up date from the DEC In a message dated 2/14/2008 2:42:35 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Since our stakeholders meeting last December, we have experienced some additional mortality of chinook salmon at the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. We now anticipate about 850,000 fish will be available for stocking in spring 2008 which is about 15% less than our projection. We expect to allocate the fish in approximately the same ratio that we had discussed earlier. The additional mortality occurred between the eyed egg stage and hatch, which is another indication that last fall's warmer temperatures and subsequent stress simply left the fish in relatively poor condition. Ontario also experienced additional mortality in their chinook as well. Fortunately, the fish are now doing very well, and barring any unforseen diseases, we should be in good shape through the spring. We will provide specific details for each stocking when we get closer to the stocking date. Bill

LMAO Ray

I'll 2nd that.

Dang Ray I didnt think I was that hard on ya. (" dont shake his hand unless your ready for reconstructive surgery,hes got a grip") Gotta get down that way and do some fishin this winter with ya.

Osco http://www.oscomotors.com/catalog/catalog4.asp Depending on where your linkage mts. It's either this page 4 or Pg. 5 that you would need from them. Barr link: http://www.barrmarine.net/

Glad he could help you out Mark. He was sending back pics of some of the bigger ones. That adventure's over, now he's got an offer on a boat in Alaska for kings & soul. Must be nice to be young and independent. But he's doing what he wants while he can.

That should be the old 2 piece manifold. Alum. & cast. Barr & Osco both make a direct replacement 1 for it. Barr # bmc1-63122

Shawn All the symptoms point to a bad lower shift cable and or adjustment of it.

Mark: Expect a call. I just talked to him. He'll give ya the inside skinny native scoop so to speak.

Mark: A good friend of mine just moved back from there. Spent 2 years as a mate. I'll try to get up with him and have him contact ya.

Dick. They do make an antenna just for the Scotty. Just ask for it when you purchase it or call them and they will take care of it for you.

Rod: If your talking on the transom plate with two longer bolts. Yes re place them as well as the springs in between. They are inexpensive and just good insurance is all, for the few $'s they are, you don't want to have to pull it again to replace them or have to replace a coupler because of it. On the same note MAKE sure that the engines are aligned before the drives are put back on.

Borax: Of all I've installed we have never tried it with uncoated cable. Curt ( at Depth Raider ) say's that it will but haven't tried it. But why limit yourself to 35 to 50 ft.. There are times when I'm shur you'll want to ck. deeper and feel confident that it will work ok. If you want the scoop from the man. Give Curt a call directly at Depth Raider. Good support and good people.

Dang Wolf with that title for the thread I was thinkin I was on the wrong board or getin lucky.
