What is the length of these?

Complete unit with new probe and 300 foot coated cable installed last year. Includes contact sleeve for Scotty Downriggers or use without it. Also incudes break-a-way cable (unused) and terminator (need to re-terminate) to be able to remove the probe. Works as it should. I upgraded to the Fish Hawk. $300 shipped in the U.S. Payment thru paypal.

Got a chance to buy back a 1992 Penn Yan 255 Intruder that I sold back in 2002. Stringers are soft and the lower part of the transom is too. Has anyone on here attempted doing this work themselves? Just wondering about how to approach this if I do it. I think the stringers are good from the front of the fuel tank towards the bow. Looks like the options are remove all the screws under the rub rail and take the top off or just cut the floor out enough to access the bad stringers and lower part of the transom. Then I would glass the floor back in. Has anyone attempted this? I'd like to know how much time and money it took if you did. I'm also interested in if you might have hired it done on a boat like this and how much that cost and what they did to fix it. Thanks

We took Kings in two areas. South of the finger out in front of Southwick and also a couple miles west of the finger. The west area kind of dried up for us so we went south. They seemed to be moving a lot. We'd mark a good bunch and when we went back they would be gone. Maybe the current was moving the bait.

We fished Henderson 4 days last week. There are some Kings there. We got two on Tuesday 16 to 17 pounds, five on Thursday (2 were little guys), none on Friday (dropped the biggest one of the week) and two of Saturday (one little guy). We pretty much just stayed on the King program but we did pick up 9 lakers and 7 browns in the process. Water was pretty warm. Caught most of the Kings down 120 to 130 feet in 130 to 150 feet of water. Current was really bad.

Looking for advise about trolling with the duo prop outdrive. I understand they are a little more efficient and was wondering if that would also mean I might not be able to get down as slow for trolling. I'm sure there must be some guys on here using them. Any information would be appreciated. Anything else about them I might want to know? I like the looks of a boat that has one on it but I've never had anything but Mercruiser drives.
Thanks

PM sent. Actually 2 PM's sent because of corrected cell number.

Put a different prop on and see if it still does it. I had one that would spin for a second and then catch when I powered up. It usually only happened after the boat had sat on the trailer for a while and the hub was dry. I changed it and the problem went away. I'm told that they can fix them if they have not been damaged much.

I run 13 pound torpedos on my electric scottys all the time and they work fine.

Saw a couple recently on Watertown, NY craigslist. Have no idea if they are still available or what shape they are in though.

If you choose to trailer to Sackets or Henderson, call Henchens Marina and ask if them if salmon are hitting and if so, are they in the trench or closer to Black River. No sence in wasting time up near the bay if they are still in the trench. (315) 938-5313.

If I were you, I'd trailer my boat to Sackets Harbor or Henderson Harbor if you are looking for Salmon right now. Due to family medical problems, I haven't been there this year but I've been seeing good reports from there. I know Kings have been in the trench for a while. I'd think you would find them somewhere there. Look for boats. I'd think they would still be in the trench but it is getting to the time when they could be near or in the Black River bay. Run flasher/fly combos off your riggers. Dipsys are ok if there's not much boat traffic but if boats are thick in there, you're asking for trouble with dipsys.
Good luck and thank your soon to be son-in-law for his service!

While there are other things that could be wrong, best bet is your transducer is no good. I've replaced a quite a few of them on my LXC15MT and my LMS520C. I've had that same problem of them going bad over the winter. Work fine in the fall and then no good in the spring. Also had some fail midseason. So far I haven't had any transducer troubles since I swapped to the HDS5 but it is really a backup to my Furuno, so I'm not using the sonar part of it very much. Just using it for the GPS. The word seems to be to get an airmar transducer for your unit and your troubles will be over....so they say. Fortunately, most of the transducers that I replaced were covered by Lowrance, so I never bothered to get the airmar. However, if I do have to by a new one, I will go with the airmar for a few extra bucks. My Furuno uses an airmar and it works great.
