  1. They love small holes and such .  Used to have a time with LP lines when left open.   There is another one that uses leaves and makes a package about 3 or 4" long..

  2. Plug openings,, vent , outlen,  and make an adaptor of some sorts for the fill.,   The fill lines on my Islander that had sat for 10 years were very bad .  The fuel was seaping through the rubber.  We had to replace the floorboards anyway, so they were easy to get to and the fill on the gunnel.

  3. The hoses to fill the tank are probably junk and need replacing.   Use coastguard aproved hose.  You coulld use air to pressure test the tank.  maybe 3 to4 psi and see if it holds . Use a bicycle pump to put the air in..  Don't use more than that or you could hurt the tank. 

  4. I need to find my barn !!  I have a 1977 20'  Thompson 228 hp mercrusier with a (mr) outdrive. its on a easyloader trailer with 6 bolt wheels and (non working )brakes.  There is a head with a pumpout.  Good fixer upper,  or parts.   I bought the islander and this has set in my barn since 08 .  Would like it gone,   $800 or make an offer .

  5. I hate to be a killjoy here, but does everyone believe that this stick, in any pattern, is going to catch more fish than the proven sticks (rapala, tstick, rapala, smithwick) it may catch as many, and I hope the manufacturer does well, but I believe it's another case of the lure catching the fisherman. IMO. I'm prepared for backlash...

    Lures first job is to catch us.   Any fish caught is a happy supriize !!
