Believe these Tohatsu motors are 4 stroke

All's well that ends well Glad the winds finally let you out on Sunday and that you got into the fish

Micromanagement update..... Awesome

When I went on a charter in Florida, the captain put plugs in the scupper drains on the boat deck when we stopped to fish. This was a bay boat, and if the plugs weren't installed, the deck would get water on it as the scuppers must have been right at the waterline. Just an idea, but maybe using plugs on the inside of the boat while fishing would keep the water off the deck, just be sure to remove them when appropriate.

Yes, I'll stop by

Even with an aluminum boat, you will want to check the condition of the transom. What make/model boat are you looking at? Others who might have that same boat may be able to point out smaller things to look for since they are familiar with that model of boat.

Are you staying at the same place as normal in Youngstown Richard?

Nice detailed answer That pic shows about what I have left over as well

Tim, how much was left over on the factory spool when your reel was fully loaded?

No, I did not use any backing, the wire is tied directly to the spool with duct tape wrapped over the knot once around the spool to give the wire some bite. The 19 strand is a little thicker than the 7 strand, I didn't think it would make that much of a difference.

I tried spooling 1000' of the 19 strand torpedo stainless wire on a SG47LC Daiwa and all 1000' does not want to fit. I tried loading it as tight as possible, but I know that it will get tighter once I deploy all of it in the water and respool it under tension. My question is, will all 1000' fit? I'd hate to cut off the remainder that didn't make it onto the reel, only to have space once the reel is tightly loaded. I know 1000' of normal 7 strand stainless wire will fit on this reel, didn't think that the 19 strand would be that different.

Ouch.......

awesome

Correct, Go Pro 3 uses micro sd, was wondering what the most widely used card was. 32 it is Thanks

Just ordered a new Go Pro 3, and was curious what size SD card everyone is using or has found to be the best.

If it's right on the keel part, the marine tex should work just fine. That's all glass right in there, so no core to worry about.

What kind of hole are you talking about?? I think that needs to be addressed first as mentioned above the bow of a boat takes one heck of a beating

There was some skim ice and some bigger chunks throughout the river this past Sunday. Nothing to really worry about.

I will take a set as well

Emails don't always work, best to just pick up the phone and call. People usually respond to a human voice much faster than an email, and often stuff is lost in an email that is easily transfered by talking.

Get a survey......... lesson learned same as Tim and Brian No sense rushing into a purchase, as they say, spend a little now or a lot later
