Out at 5 this morn. NE wind. Heavy clouds. Off Russell in 75-120. 7 knock-offs & couldn't get to them in time. Felt like a golfer that couldn't hit anything straight. 50-55 ft down. Mostly NK wonderbreads. temp down around 65. Fleas are here! Some huge pods in 95 ft.
Met J.D. at the launch. Great to meet ya J.D. Good luck on Monday.
Lenny (security guard) said someone was pulling real nice walleye out of the river. Maybe 6 trailers in the lot.
(Freeking pictures didn't even come out!)
Oh well, next Saturday will be here soon enough. It will get better!

WTG Chris!
I was also out early. Had 7 freeking knock-offs off Russell & couldn't get to any of them in time. Felt like a golfer that could only shank everything in the woods. At least I met J.D. at the launch. - Great guy.

An author by the name of Ed Zern once suggested:
1. Send to museum requesting identification but use phony name......
2. Stuff in someone else's mailbox......
3. Throw them in back yard of neighbor that has all those D*m cats.....
4. Bait walrus traps with them.....
Nah, probably all illegal....double bag them.

WD-40 is the best silver polish known to man and will prevent tarnish for a long long time. It won't hurt paint jobs at all, however it may loosen up tape. Spray a little on a soft paper towel and wipe.

You are lucky. Glad you got it back. I'm sure it'll work when dried out. I've heard of guys losing them on the highway but never on the water.

If you're thinking electric, also think about how you're going to power them. i.e. Will your charging system support the additional load...amperage output? Will you need extra battery? etc

When oil & water are mixed and churned up, it turns tan-ish white. It's a dead give-away that something needs repair. Lower units have a large screw on the gear casing - down below the prop, towards the front, for draining oil.
