  1. I looked at a 22' back in the early 90's. I don't know about a big lake boat?? They were narrow with a pretty flat bottom! Like anything else, pick your days and it would be fine.
  2. I'm not 100% sure...But, I would guess you hit the old trolley tracks.
  3. I would guess it's in the install of the new pump. Any chance you have the blades curled the wrong way?
  4. I thought Southbay on Empire was a dealer for Tohatsu?? Either way, I heard their service was pretty good. I would also check Eastlake in Hamlin and Pugsleys in Ontario.
  5. Not much at Braddocks. I have taken a few along the sunken pier where the the hotel used to be. Guys used to fish Wautoma Shoals but that was ancient history. Hedges will still produce but nothing like years ago. Just keep your bait off the bottom away from the gobies.
  6. You have a couple places in Sandy Creek on Rt 3 just east of Port Ontario. better luck west toward Oswego and even better if you look around Sodus. tough time of year right before winterization starts.. IMO, do it yourself. Not too difficult of a job and not at the mercy of someone else.
  7. They were removing the bad areas that were breaking down.
  8. I run a basic 2d 83/200 on mine
  9. Everything...fish and game is soaked, then frozen in milk.
  10. Not a lot of options. if these are your side curtains , don,t zip them shut. Maybe have some zippers added to get some air. My Crestliner HT was an oven in the summer and adding a fan on the dash helped. also helpful for clearing the windows on a cold morning.
  11. I haven't seen any mention of cleaning the carb(s). sorry if I missed it. Sounds like the highspeed circuit. do a thorough cleaning or rebuild. I have never had an outboard that didn't drip fuel when left in the tilted position. it generally drips right from the carb throat due to the bowl being full.
  12. Been on both side of this one, more than a few times. Still, nothing compares to running flat lines in the early ESLO days out of Rochester. Between the casual boaters that had no idea what we were doing and the sail boaters....
  13. Has this always been the case? I am not at all familiar with counter rotating props and how this would work....If possible, I would compare both engines rpm,s running separately. Perhaps the starboard side is over revving a bit due to lack of water. I don't know..just a guess..
  14. clean the carb(s) You probably picked a small piece of debris in the low speed jet. Remove the carb or carbs and disassemble and clean one at a time. If you are very careful, you may be able to disassemble it without having to replace any gaskets or o-rings. Use a good carb cleaner and a fine piece of wire. lots of videos on Youtube to help.
  15. The word "storing" leads me to wonder if you are asking about winter storage?
  16. Yankee is 100% spot on about the GT54/56 for trolling. I should have listened to him when I bought mine 3 years ago. It will track balls as long as it's flat calm. But anything more than a slight chop, you're in the dark! I went a different route and added a refurb Lowrance Elite 7 with a basic 2D 83/200 ducer that also networks with my TM. Couldn't be happier!
  17. Ebay is about your best hope.
  18. Weather is about the only reason.
  19. 2 for 3 both mid morning fast east troll 2.5-2.7 down temp 48. A jr about 10# and my daughter got her first mature. Both fish hit a Sea Sick on a rigger. 60/100.
  20. Might want to take a look around the Morristown area. Quaint and quiet village and easy drive to Abay/Clayton/Cape areas.
  21. pump the ball as she starts to struggle. If that helps, it's fuel delivery. Most likely fuel pump.
  22. Biggest issue will be mounting, not operation.
