  2. Thanks for the offer. I would be very interested. According to the Octopus website. I need a different drive for 1983-1993 mercruiser Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Next project autopilot. My GLS 220 is a manual steering mercruiser Alpha 1. Any bodily have input on autopilots ? I don’t intend to change to hydraulic. I’m looking at the Octopus system. Yea or nay ? My bungee cord autopilot works but doesn’t hold a course very well. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. If the system has been dry for a long time the wheel cylinders are probably all rusted up. You’ re too far away for me anyway. I’m in Watertown NY thanks anyway
  5. Where is the trailer located ? Are the brakes functional ? Or do they need to be overhauled ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. Answer my PM and phone message Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. Had a guy call off late last night. I was ready to go do here I am solo. First thing a 2 lb oil can ( LT) takes cut bait and tangled all three lines. Oh well. Pretty quiet fir a while. Then both riggers fire. No one home. Finally hooked up and landed this guy Really dark fish and with a hitch hiker. First one this year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Storms can and do sneak up on you I was out of Sandy Pond with my 12 year old son some years ago. The eastern sky suddenly went dark as night. Constant lightening We would have had to run directly into it to get back to the inlet. The rods in their rod holders suddenly started buzzing and crackling I told my son to put on his pfd as did myself. Told him no matter what don’t touch the rods. Put down the vhf antenna. In hindsight , I wonder about that decision. If we needed to call a mayday . But it was a high point on the boat. Anyway. We sat there 15 miles from shore and watched nervously. The storm came off the east shore and went directly north. Never reached us sigh of relief The neighbors called in cell to see if we were ok. Sandy Island Beach Rd.got 3 inches of rain out of it. They can sneak up on you. Not a fun experience Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Or they have been swimming too close to the nuclear reactors at Nine Mike Pt. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. That’s exactly why long lines have no place when the traffic is heavy. Leave them in the boat Or be prepared to lose tackle. It is not possible to allow 600 + ft of clearance when there are other boats in the equation Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. I stand corrected. You are right. The overtaking vessel is give way , no matter the propulsion Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Negative Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. A recreational vessel , under power , fishing or not , must give way to a vessel under sail 100% of the time Restricted ability to maneuver is meant for vessels that can’t leave a channel without risk of grounding it does not mean you can’t maneuver due to lines in the water or fish on you must give way to any vessel under sail Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. This is correct. A recreational fishing boat , including charters , is NOT considered a vessel engaged in fishing That is restricted to commercial fishing boats A recreational fishing boat is just like any other vessel on the water and is subject to the rules of the road.

  15. My son and I took the CG 18 hour course It was 3 hours , once a week for 6 weeks. Best money I ever spent. I would recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in boating Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. It’s about time. It’s difficult to obey the rules of the road if you don’t know them. Been an advocate of this for years Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. My vegetables love them [emoji534][emoji535][emoji533][emoji892]🥒 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. I’ve found the best way to fix LT broil them on a cedar plank. When done , throw away the fish and eat the plank. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. Fished this AM ( and PM ) out of Stoney. Water has dropped about 6 inches since last trip. Water is about 3 inches below the bulkheads No other trailers in lot when we pulled away at 6 Bunch of canoes and kayaks when we came back in at 4. One other trailer in the lot. We fished south toward Sandy Pond. Picked up 3 mature kings had a lot of knock offs with no one home. Cut bait took 2. And ff took the other. Couldn’t get spoons to hook. A few bait pods and really spread out fish marks still a great day. Only saw one other boat off Sandy. Seems like no ones fishing. Usually bunches of boats out there by now Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
