Your bilge pump is running and pumping water continuously.

thanks for the responses so far.  very helpful.  where do a get a water separator?  and is it installed inline (on the fuel line)?  or somewhere else?

long story short, have a 18' lund with 115hp Honda outboard, and a 9.9 kicker.  the main motor wouldn't get up to full power, and the trolling motor was also having issues (wouldn't stay running).  seemed to be fuel issue.  tried the usual dry gas fixes etc to no avail.  siphoned some gas out, and sure enough, it looks funny.  compared to "good" gas, it is off color, and some of it had a white-ish looking substance at the bottom of it.

a few questions:

--how could water be getting in the tank?  there are no obvious holes etc

--how do i make sure the tank is completely drained of anything that's not gas?  obviously, i want to make sure the tank is clean before adding any more gas.

see attached pics.  the one shows the white stuff in the gas.  the other pic shows 2 bottles with the "bad" gas, as compared to the "good" gas.

much thanks.

Love it so far. ..few minor bugs but overall works great.

hmm 12 lb ball plains out at 22mph acording to fishermen but not very long

heh. no, bad crimp job + 4 footers = accidentally dropping the ball over the side and then watching the whole setup sink to the bottom. much like the sinking in my stomach

due to reasons i'd rather not disclose here i'm looking for a subtroll sending unit (the part that clips onto your cable and goes down) as well as a 12# ball. thanks.

bumping this up, many views, no replies. no one has a thought or opinion on this?

just installed a sub-troll, upgraded from a canon speed and temp. in the directions, it mentions that they recommend disabling the positive ion "thing" on our canon electric downriggers.

so 2 questions...

1) is it really necessary?

2) if it is necessary, any clue on how to do this?

thanks in advance. hoping to get out this weekend for a shakedown!

thanks fellas! appreciate it.

finally getting rid of canon speed and temp. we have decided on a subtroll. any recommendations for a reasonable, local (buffalo) source?

thanks in advance....

just bumping this up, still looking for this also!

probably a long shot. but i just bought a house with a good-sized yard. looking for riding lawn mower in the 42" - 48" range. would prefer john deere, but really anything decent would work. also looking for cart so if you have that too, that would be good.

don't check my PM's here; email me drhoads (at) gmail dot com.

thanks, and tight lines!

probably a long shot on a fishing forum. but there was one for sale here a while back but was sold after i called. anyway, looking for a single place trailer (no double, its too big!). if you have one, email me at: drhoads (at) gmail dot com.

thanks!

going out for a few hours this evening (monday 7/27). looks like the lake flipped this past weekend? i know generally speaking what that means, but how does it translate to fishing? what depth should i start at? what surface temp should i look for?

any suggestions would be appreciated. we are getting better (we usually catch a keeper king and a few skippers each time out), but still not consistently nailing larger kings. thanks in advance for everyone's help!

sent you a PM. interested!

once you pick the camera you want, you may want to shop around. A place i've purchased 2 cameras and my TV from is http://www.beachcamera.com. usually its free shipping and no sales tax. and generally the prices are excellent. i have no ties to them, do your own research, but i think you might be surprised.

i plan on being in olcott on thursday got room for you to jump on and get a complete instruction trip for free the 4th 607 769 7947

waiting for son to give me answer or ill have room for 3 guys(not 400lbrs) well look like sardines.im 99.9% shure ill be there if i get overwhelmed with request here is how i will choose who goes :1 single goodlooking blind women first 2 single good looking women sighted (far) 3:any woman that allowey me to buffy fish WITHOUT LAFING.......... OMG .... .my wife is comming in the room where is the delete button. all are welcome Ray K.

thanks for the offer, but i just saw this now, sitting at work! DOH!

we went out the Friday before memorial day, and using some of the tips given here, we actually landed 2 smaller kings, and had a 3rd on that we lost close to the boat. also had a few knockoffs. so we are optimistic. that has been just about our best day so far. all the fish came on NBK.

i've learned more here from everyone's knowledge than anything else....THANK YOU! i realize i'm new here, but you all are truly knowledgeable, and (more importantly) willing to share that knowledge.

maybe i'll take some of you up on the offer to go out. its appreciated!

is this possible? there is nothing in the manual. seems like the speed and temp probe is no longer giving correct speed readings. when the boat is at 2.5 on the gps, the probe was reading 0 mph. had to get boat up to like 4-5mph before the speed and temp would register.

thanks!

help a new person, where is this? online? or do they have a store somewhere?

been following this forum for a while. relatively new (this is the 3rd year) to trolling for salmon. recreational angler.

we have 2 manual cannon riggers, just upgraded to a mag10hs this year. we have a cannon speed and temp sensor.

we still consistently don't catch fish (we fish out of olcott). we definitely have caught some, but we've had many days where we "washed our lures".

so here are some questions in no particular order:

1) what speed should we troll at? i've heard anything from 2 - 3.5 mph.

2) what surface temp should we look for? (i've heard certain surface temps are better than others)

3) in regards to our speed and temp sensor, where/how do you find the thermal break? and once you've found it, do you fish in the colder water? or above it/below it? i usually look for scum lines on the water surface, but then i'm not always sure what to do from there.

4) if nothing is working, what do you change first? direction? speed? rigger depth? spoon color? water depth? there are so many variables, its hard to gauge what to do first.

5) what is a good starting depth? i know certain captains go right out to 400-500 foot depths. yet others have told me you can catch salmon all day long inside 200' if you know where to look. (due to our relative inexperience, we prefer the "inside" water until we get a little more comfortable).

i know this is a lot of questions...any help is greatly appreciated. i've read through most of these topics and have learned a lot, yet it hasn't translated into consistent fishing.

thanks!
