    I suggest you post this question on Bass Boat Central, those guys would probably be able to give you more help http://www.bbcboards.net/lowrance-garmin-sonar-gps/

    I would go with a 9.9 hp, high thrust 4 stroke with at least a 20" shaft, maybe even a 25" would work better depending on the kicker mount. I also strongly suggest getting power tilt and electric start, it's a long reach over the transom on a Penn Yan. This is what I have on a PennYan 255 and it does a good job.

    fuel supply?

    mudflat replied to tlr426's topic in This Old Boat

    You definitely want a filter/water separator in your line, especially with ethanol gas. It will have 2 outlets so you can hook the kicker's fuel line up there.

    Check Mr. Clean's reports, looks like it's still iced in http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/36275-mr-cleans-fair-haven-report/page-16#entry278743

    Just took a piece of flat stock and bent it into a L shape with a brake then drilled the mounting holes

    Same idea as Tim's except I attached pulleys directly to hard top below roof overhang. Pulleys are Cisco's.

    I thought I might be missing something so I tried some blood run last year. Guess what , they both work, didn't see a big difference Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks Hank, now I really feel old I did get some new pads for my old releases from Bill a few years ago and am still using them. Maybe he still has some left?

    '01 Penn Yan 255 Intruder
  14. mudflat
    I've used a Yamaha T9.9 with both a 20" and a 25" shaft length on my PY 255 Intruder, the 20" worked OK but the prop would ventilate some in 3-4 footers and the motor would rev up and down. The 25" works better. I would also recommend using a solid mount like the one from Adventure Marine and go for electric start and tilt/trim. Add a TR-1 Gold and you'll have a great package, gives you excellent boat control and lets you relax and fish.

    Depends on what you're fishing for. For stripers all you need is a marine licenses all the way to the Troy dam but if you're going for bass, ect you need a NYS license. Best to get both just to avoid any problems.

    This is how I mounted mine to my hardtop using a piece of 1/8" stainless "L", works fine.

    Check out Fish Doctor's video tips on tying "Tournament Tie" leaders. I've found this to be one of the easiest methods to use to snell heavy lines . http://www.fishdoctorcharters.com/template.tpl?selector=video

    Look at an Airmar B60, 50/200 Works great with my HDS 8, much better picture than the stock 83/200 Here's an installation video from BOE Marine, you might want to check with Jim for a price. It's not that difficult of a job to install once you drill the hole in the bottom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcBdkjCtifA

    My X4 also turns itself on automatically when I turn on my main power switch. It only does this when the power supply is turned off first then turned back on.

    Kicker bracket

    mudflat replied to Xxx's topic in This Old Boat

    That bracket is from Adventure Marine: http://adventuremarinemfg.com/ Very solid and well built

    Fleet Tracker You are on the right track, check out Fish Doctor's video tips: http://www.fishdoctorcharters.com/videos/video8W.html Spro swivel at each end of the copper with a haywire twist knot, it will be difficult to get the copper through the swivel eye 2 times but it can be done. Use a Palomar Knot for the Power Pro and your favorite knot for the leader. You can also use back to back haywire twist knots to splice the copper back together after your first fubar.

    2k seems high to me compared to the canvas work I had done this year, I would check around. I 2nd John Mann if you can get the boat to Sodus, I am very happy with the work he did for me and John is a great guy to work with. John Mann: 315-871-6400

    A 47 size reel works well with 20lb line and will hold 280 yds, if you want to use 30lb line for fleas you will only fit a little less than 200 yds on one. Probably still ok for a rigger rod but I would prefer more line just in case. I use either a 57 or a Saltist 40 for 30lb line. http://www.fishusa.com/Product/Daiwa-Sealine-SG-Line-Counter-Reels

    Could be the condenser is breaking down when it gets hot. Try replacing the points and condenser if you can find a set.
