    My Raymarine Sportpilot x5 drive head crapped out. Raymarine said they will not repair them any longer. I have BayStar steering and was thinking of using the Raymarine Ev-100 Power Evolution Autopilot as a replacement . My BayStar system has the stiff hoses so is there a problem using the hoses that the unit came with or is it necessary to change the hoses? Also were would I get the additional hoses needed that would go to the pump from the helm?

    The King AP2000 is a helm mounted unit and will work with either manual or hydraulic steering. If you need parts, manuals or service you can get them at: http://www.kingmarineelectronics.com/

    A little more serious post from the one I made above on Sunday. For those that are serious about the lakes we fish in and the land we hunt on you might want to consider this. https://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/47452.html Five bucks isn't going to break anyone of us. This doesn't guarantee that anything will get cleaned up or reverse present lake conditions but that $5.00 may help.

    Thanks for the pics Stan. It is helpful to know where to place your balls.

    ....from the NYS DEC website: "Lampricides and Treatments The most significant and effective form of control has been the treatment of streams and deltas with lampricides - TFM in tributaries and Bayluscide on deltas. The lampricides target the larval sea lamprey, killing them before they can transform into their parasitic adult form. Since the larval sea lamprey typically reside in streams or deltas for 4 years, lampricide treatments need only occur every 4 years in a specific water." This is from DEC's report of Lake Champlain but the treatment process is the same for the finger lakes. I think Cayuga was treated two years ago. Not sure. But anyway each treatment if done under good conditions will get the previous four years of eels. Once the adults go into the lake they will usually die within a year but that year each one can take out a few fish.

    It looks like the autopilot is a King AP2000. There is a service center in Florida that still repairs them if needed. http://www.kingmarineelectronics.com/

    X3 on Deans Cove. Another option is across the lake from Deans Cove on the east side is Long Point State Park. Nice park and with clean rest rooms and deep water a few paddle strokes from the launch site. If your going to use any of the state parks more than 12 time a year it would better to purchase a Empire Pass for $80.00. It gives you unlimited access to any New York State Park. You can get one on-line and info on all the benefits it has to offer.

    Common sense would tell you to hold the flare over the side of the boat and pointing away. It shouldn't take long to get some common sense if you don't. You'll only make that mistake once.

    If all else fails get some of Dave's spoons (R&R) and spray paint the cup metallic brass

    This is the link for R&R Tackle. You'll see the spoon on the home page. http://www.mytacklebox.com/

    All good info above. One more easy thing to try is stop your boat and let one rigger ball down, say 30'. If you can't see it then either your gain is to low or your 'ducer is not angled in the right direction or both. If you do see the ball send it down deep ( 80') and watch it. Then do the same thing for each of the other riggers to be sure that they all are in the cone. Once you have that then start moving the boat forward and gradually increase speed up to say 2 mph gps. If you loose the balls on the screen before you get to your trolling speed then the 'ducer needs to angle back more. You'll need a wide angle cone for the deep water.

    Search "conesusguy" in the Members List and try a PM. Maybe that will get his attention.

    Maybe the Mods will consider your idea or something similar.

    If you don't mind catching lake trout right now go out to the 125-150 water and run your stuff 80' -120' and you won't get skunked or disappointed.

    Caught this brown a few years ago and don't have a measured length but the newspaper will give you an idea of length. The fish weighed in at 11lb 5oz. Girth will play a big part in weight on these fish.

    Not sure if this is still available but you can't beat this unit for the price. It is posted in the "Classifieds" section.

    The Empire Pass expires December 31. from the website: " When does the Empire Pass Card expire? Empire Pass Cards expire December 31st of the final year for which they were purchased. Lifetime Empire Passes do not expire." https://parks.ny.gov/admission/empire-passport/frequently-asked-questions.aspx

    Easy rule to follow: If its hard to get your spoon into the water because it is flying parallel to the water it is best to go home.
