    You talking for salmon or trout and what brand of rod are you talking about? Also are you talking roller guides or regular guides with a twili tip? These variables make a big difference.

    Well I'm guessing we will see how long it lasts as mentioned in my post. If I got to spray um 2 or 3 times a season thats Ok. 2 or 3 launches and I'm guessing I will look for something else. What do you think? Any better suggestions?

    So I launched the boat last week and sprayed the rollers up in the parking lot with the WD-40 specialist silicone. Launched again day before yesterday and that boat just slid off those rollers beautiful. Very little effort on my part and very little strain on my bad back. Huge difference and so far so good. Just a matter of seeing how long it lasts now.

    Sure if you need to machine it. Otherwise take it to Hank

    I have a bunch of well maintained quality tools for sale as I've retired after 40 yrs in the trade. Tools will be sold for 50% of retail. Everything from mic sets to dial calipers to Hermann Schmidt height gauges to B&S dial indicators. To much to list but if your looking for anything I probably have it.

    Always ran Malin coffee color in both 20 and 30 lb. 30 lb is a bit more forgiving when it comes to kinks but seemed to get more bites on the 20 lb.

    Maybe changed with the new style? When I bought mine it was lifetime on the motors.

    X2. Lifetime on the motors only.

    I've never been a fan of wd-40 but I sprayed this stuff on my garage door rollers and tracks and so far it's awesome. We will have to wait and see how long it lasts but I'm hoping to get the little boat in the water this week so I'll give it a shot. At my age with a bad back that boat required more energy than it should to get the boat off the trailer into the water so I'm hoping it works. Will report back after the application and I launch the the boat again.

    My Scottys just keep fishing year after year. Trouble free. I have a couple since 1994. I think 2 belt replacements and a couple spool tension adjustments in all those years.

    Everybodys opinion of fair chase is different, I fished for 35 yrs without riggers or electronics. Just a couple 10 color lead core rods and flat lines. When I found the fish (and I usually did) I stayed on them and kicked the **** out them. Electronics are just a tool to find them faster and get the job done quicker.

    Take any boat your interested in out for a sea trial. If it doesn't do what you want it to look elsewhere. Good luck.

    good point.

    Thanks guys. I use white grease on a lot of stuff. Because of the limited time I have in the parking lot I will give the wd-40 specialist spray a shot that J.D. posted and see what happens. If I have to do it a few times a season thats OK. Otherwise I'll bite the bullet, jack the boat up off the trailer and take everything apart. Any other ideas are welcome.
  15. spoonfed-1
    Thanks for the reply. Am I to assume you have used this before and how did you get it into the rollers without taking them apart? As I said this will be done in a parking lot after I drop the boat in the lake.

    I have an old EZ loader roller trailer for my small 16 ft aluminum boat. Question I have is what to use for lubrication between the rubber rollers and shafts. Something that will last awhile and not eat at the rubber rollers. Ideally something I can get in there without pulling each roller and shaft apart as this will be done in a parking lot after I dump the boat in at a launch ramp. Thanks for any ideas.

    I've marked salmon many times while laker fishing. I run laker gear that works at 1.8 2.1 mph and when I mark salmon I drop down a couple meat rigs on diver rods. Works for me.

    Thanks

    Early last winter I installed a new garmin combo FF/chartplotter on my little boat. It has a housing or deck that stays on the boat and the unit snaps into the housing for use. The power and sonar cables are left connected. Both cables have o rings and the many pinned connection that fits into the unit when I snap it in has a rubber cap. I tow this boat uncovered in all kinds of weather so my question is should I coat all these connections with dielectric grease? Good idea or bad idea?

    Rapalas when fishing slow and Smithwicks when I kick the speed up.

    Yup. Got to be careful. One or two posts by someone is not a good sign. I been selling a lot of stuff since I retired from my charter business last fall and had nothing but good transactions from good people. One or two posts is a red flag.

    I was thinking about a trip on Cayuga for LL"s in the next week or so. Haven't heard anything out of Sodus but a couple of charters are chirping about slamming Browns out of Mexico. Most are small 3lb last falls stocking but every once and a while they hit a decent fish and post it all over the internet.

    LOL. 17 yrs is pretty good. Maybe think about going with original equipment? Good luck whatever you decide.
  25. spoonfed-1
    Basically you get what you pay for when it comes to comfort and longevity. Lund is pretty good quality stuff. Were you not happy with the original seats?
