  1. The way I understood is there is a check valve on the primer bulb, so you would want them after the separator. I can take a pic of my setup after work today. I added it and new lines to my boat after I bought it a few years ago and just added new lines as the old ones looked like they were getting bad along with it having a valve for switching the lines from main to kicker.

     

    It was a few years ago but I think I got my parts from a plumbing/hardware store. The parts (nipples and plug) were safe for fuel and used the yellow pipe tape for the threads (gas safe).

     

    The glass also lets you see if you have water in the fuel during the year, I do replace the filter every year but it is a nice piece of mind.

  2. I added a fuel and water separator and have the one line in, two out. I am using a raycor 120r fuel and water separator. Make sure if you install one that you can get to it easily and remove the bowl at the bottom for cleaning and inspection.

     

    I have fuel lines with the bulbs after the filter/separator for both my main motor and kicker, bought new lines to make sure it was all good. Also the bulbs should have check valves in them. That way I do not have to worry about switching a valve during rough water times and not worry about one motor sucking fuel or any related issues with that possible problem.

  3. I use the old ones to start bonfires we have. Also I have handed them to my wife and had her start them by herself so she knows how to do that. She is the one that is out with me most often and if I didn't show/teach her these things when things are calm then she may panic when things go bad and if something happened to me.

  4. Not looking real great with the warm up and rain we got. Definitely spud your way out and back in. Sometimes things freeze overnight making the morning a easy walk out to fish and then when you go to head back in the route is worse. The more north you are the better things should be. Check iceshanty for reports on ice also.

     

    Yeah it sucks but think I am with gambler and done for the year.

    smitty sled it is then

    Definitely build a smitty sled, i have one for both my shanties as well as skis on the bottom of both. Smitty sled is the bomb for any snow/slush well worth the time and minimum I have invested in it. I was out with a friend the other day he was dragging his without the smitty and I had a my smitty he was having a rough time dragging while mine was like nothing was back there.

  6. I'm not sure if the sizes of the sleds are the same or not, hopefully they are. Then it should be just unhook the old one and put the fabric on the new one. Like  others say put skis on the bottom of the new sled or hyfax runners (you can buy the material cheaper than the kits they have and install yourself). I keep my eyes open for old skis in the trash and when they get worn out just put the newer ones on. This way the sled stays nice.

  7. Irondequoit bay was similar a free years ago, it was mobb ed on the weekends had to get there early to get a parking spot. Then fishing dripped off for the last few years but it sounds like it's picking up lately which hopefully it won't get hammered again.
