    I'm thinking of adding down speed, temp & depth to my boat and am looking at the Smart Troll. I like the idea of being able to get readings from multiple lines rather than the single reading like on the downrigger cable versions. Can any of you that have one give me some feed back on the unit and how it works for you? Thank you.

    Glad you made it back home Jerry. NY Route 90 must of been a treat for you pulling a boat with the "Route 90 Yard Sale" going on .

    Found this in Wikipedia, "Mercury Outboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan. Mercury Marine builds 40, 50 and 60 horsepower outboard motors in Suzhou, China. Mercury also manufactures engines over 75 horsepower at its facility in Fond du Lac in Wisconsin."

    Sounds like a fuel supply problem. Everything seems to be working until you throttle up high and it dies out only to start right back up again. Seems to run good until the fuel in the float bowl runs out. Check the fuel line from the tank top the engine. It may have a restriction. If it is a old line replace it. Cheap remove & replace item. Good luck with the repair Looks like we both posted at the same time Hank. I'll yield these topics to the pros (you)

    I have a Mercury 9.9 2006 tiller electric start and it has a hose from the primer bulb to the lower front of the carb. In one of the YouTube videos (....... )..............the mechanic mentions that there are some Yamaha's out there ( @ 4:55 into the vid) that don't have a primer tube. Maybe someone replaced the Mercury carb with Yamaha carb? Just a thought. The primer bulb is definetly a asset to have in cold weather.

    For me I've found that the Cortland FleaFlicker works the best. Tried 30lb mono, forget it. Blood Run flea line, about the same as 30lb mono. Guys piss and moan about the Cortland line but it works the best (IMO). Vary little attachments yesterday on the line while my rigger cables did pick some up. Cortland stopped making it but if you can get your hands on some try it. Come flea season I just overlay about 130' of FleaFlicker on my normal mono line and add 10'-12' of leader. Come Sept/Oct when the fleas disappear I just strip the fleaflicker off. No need to respool.

    Dave puts a additive in the minnow tanks that make the minnows taste like "chicken".

    I think you'll find that you'll be able to anticipate the temp changes at times on the finger lakes when there is a sustained north or south wind. Say if the wind is out of the north for a day or two the warmer surface water will be pushed south and colder water from below will replace the surface void on the north end. Water will be most dense at about 38 degrees. Anything colder or warmer will be less dense and rise absent of any other forces in the water columns. Watch the weather trends a couple days in advance of were you are going to fish if fishing surface water temp is your thing. Using a down Speed & Temp probe will be more helpful for subsurface temp and a faster way to target specific temperatures. Now after that just grab your tackle and go fishing.

    Can you post some pictures of what you have. You shouldn't have to unscrew them to adjust the angle of the rod holder. BigJon has a couple styles of rod holders and pictures would be helpful in determining which ones you have.

    I second that knot. Won't slip and slides right through the eyes. A dab of super glue at the end of the leadcore sheath will keep it from fraying up. Nice brown!

    I would be interested if you have any 8" Opti-Dodgers. Any color

    If the engine is pulling to one direction while on plane then probably your trim tab needs to be adjusted to counter the torque of the prop. The sacrificial trim tab zinc can be turned to accomplished that.

    I would say yes but..... The lower unit oil is much thicker than warm engine oil do the vacuum would have to be higher and the oil will flow slow but should be doable. You size down the tubing to the size that will fit into the vent hole. Smaller ID tubing slower flow. Pump it up and go do something else for awhile while it sucks out the oil.

    These extractors work great and will make that job easy. You'll never hesitate changing fluids once you use it. https://www.amazon.com/OEMTOOLS-24389-Extractor-Overflow-Dipstick/dp/B00LCEWR4A/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SNHT7BHZTW14T0C7A8PN

    Salmon will have black x shaped spots on their body but not on their fins whereas rainbows will have small black spots on their body as well as on their tail, dorsal and adipose fins. You'll want to know the difference because it may cost you a ticket on Cayuga Lake. Rainbows - 15" Salmon - 18" Pic 1 - salmon pic 2 - rainbow

    I can't believe nobody has jumped on these. I already have four or I'd would have scarfed them up.

    I wonder if we'll hear from Katy or anyone else for that matter if they get busted.

    This may help in your wire selection. Running from a fuse panel will work. The length of the wire run will also enter into the equation so if you have long runs from the power source (fuse panel, battery etc.) check to see what is recommended but you don't have to be direct to a battery.
