  1. Here's another thought. There is a key on the impeller. It may be sheared. Pumps water at idle. But impeller slips at higher rpm Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  2. The flapper valve is in the exhaust tube to keep water from entering the engine in following seas if you have good exhaust flow. The valve is not the issue. Is there any contamination in your exhaust water ? Catch some and look at it Also is your cooling system open or closed ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  3. Must be totally different down there. Winds here steady 15 with much higher gusts. Wind like that on the bay and you have easy 6 footers Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. The way the wind is blowing in Watertown , I doubt anyone is fishing Mexico Bay today .
  5. Not if it's not blown to the crankcase. They can. blow between exhaust and water jacket. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. May have a blown head gasket. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. This is a sporting website , not a police blotter. And it is not personal in the context you infer. It IS personal in that I condemn his crime against the sport of wildfowling He gives us all a black eye. If you think for one second that PETA fund for animals and every other anti hunting/fishing organization in the world isn't all over stories like these you are sadly mistaken. We need to condemn these actions or be seen as like minded criminals Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Saiff absolutely deserves the wrath of this site and every law abiding sportsman in the US. He has betrayed his honor and deserves any and all discipline that the federal and state courts deem appropriate. We , as sportspeople , need to send a message that this is unacceptable behavior. Boycott his sponsors and his business Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. I believe PBS pulled his shows cabin country and rod and reel. At least in the Watertown area Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  10. The Saiff "fleet " have been running rough shod over the eastern end of Lake O for years. I've had his boats start setting up within feet of my rig in the past. And then get on the radio and tell his other boats I am crowding him. The best answer to this is boycott his charter business and get the word out to others Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  11. Sportsman ? Not so much http://www.wwnytv.com/story/35549995/hunting-guide-pleads-guilty-in-deaths-of-protected-birds
  12. Mother. Nature will help you decide. 160 fow is at least 6-7 miles out from N Sandy inlet haven't heard a lot of reports. But browns should be available all along the east shore. Be careful Lake O is a small sea and can get nasty quick Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  13. Yes Riggis is on the N pond. You could check the wigwam also I didn't go down there but they have a nice ramp and dockage. Or at least they did Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. This is Sandy island beach Rd on the S pond. Won't be any docks in on the pond for a long while Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. I was at both N and S pond. The beach is closed ( pretty much gone ) The state has a huge bucket loader in the S pond to feed a dredge that is pumping sand from the S pond to the lake side to keep the road from breaching Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  16. I was at the pond on Friday. I believe that the ramp on rt 15 ( Riggis) was open. Very high water some boats docked State launch is closed. Most of the camp docks are not in or under water place is a mess Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  17. Stopped by the launch to see what's up. The water is up. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. There are different size anode trim tabs. If you look in any boating accessory catalog you will see them listed. Sometimes you need to use just a flat anode without the trim tab Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  19. If you don't see oil coming out the top hole when you remove the screw or need to add oil showing low on dipstick. The only safe way is to attach pump to lower hole and remove upper plug. Pump oil until it begins to flow out top plug hole. Replace top screw first and then quickly install lower screw All done. Any other way you risk too much or too little oil Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  20. Early Alpha 1 gen 2 had the dipstick in the center of the top cover. Check in down and level position be VERY careful taking the top cover off he upper gear housing. There are shims under the cover that set backlash on upper gears. Losing any spells catastrophe Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. It's my understanding that the zebra mussels in L Ontario have been replaced by the quagga mussel nd the zebras are all but extinct Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  22. Pancake weights = tangles They take on a life of their own in currents and wind. Avoid them like the plague Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  23. In Watertown , at the mall there is a guy with a sandwich board sign walking up and Down the road. Sign says going out of business Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  24. The end of Gander Mountain http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/The-End-of-Gander-Mountain-Chain-Going-Out-of-Business-421532264.html
  25. What year is the boat ? Mercruiser used several different ignition systems . Delco EST was used in 91-92 If you have an older delco system (points) , it may have been updated with an aftermarket electronic ignition . You have to identify the system you have before you can buy parts
