    1st timer to Oswego

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    Fished Oswego Sunday. A few boats out. Talked to people pulling out about 3pm. Some had one or two like me, some had none. River is complete mud with lots of debris. Complete muddy water from the river about 2 miles east. Started to clear at that point. Fished 5 hours got a 4 lb and a w lb. Tried by the Salmon river on Monday. Lots of ice chunks made it difficult. 1 small brown for 3 hours.

    I have transferred 2 boats and a PWC from Pa to NY reg.  The last one was about 7 years ago.  I had owned all for 5 years or longer before transfer.  Never paid any additional sales taxes at the DMV office in Pulaski.  I remember filling out a form stating that I had them a certain amount of time and had previously paid sales tax in the previously registered state.  Maybe the rules have changed lately.  Easy to check by interested parties by asking at the office.

    My NY boat registration cards have my Pa address on them.  Also,  When going to the DMV office in Pulaski, you need multiple forms of personal ID.  I forget how the system works for ID, but a Passport is best along with a valid drivers license and some other photo ID.  Fill out the forms  and Pay, Pay  and they will be happy to re-reg in NY.   No need other baloney.USPS change of address, ETC, ETC.    Just $$$

    I am in the same situation as you with a cottage on Sandy Pond.  Taxes are unbearable but I put up with it or sit home.  I have 3 boats , 2 used for fishing and they are registered in NY.  I know they are supposed to be.  The trailers are however, registered in PA because it is much cheaper.  NY wants $80+ trailer reg for my 27 ft Sportcraft trailer.  Unreasonable.  $6 in Pa.  I have a pontoon bought in Pa and as soon as the current reg is up I will transfer to NY.  It is in fact true that the regs say the BOAT should be registered where it is used most.

     

    Trailer reg in NY is $5.39 per 500lbs so for a 8500gvw trailer it is $91.63.  Sort of like the NY property taxes.  Reg in Pa  up to 3000 gvw   $6.   3001 to 10000 gvw  $12

     

     

     

    It is very easy to register a boat in NY if you are not a resident.  Go to the DMV office in Pulaski with your title, Pay plenty of $$ and they will re-register in NY.  No sales tax because you already own it.  Lots of fees though.  Paperwork and renewal will come to your Pa address.  Many years ago Pa did not do boat titles.  Then your latest Owners Registration Card will suffice.  I had that happen on one boat. Registered a few more also.

    Hydraulic steering on an outboard is a sweet setup with the Lowrance Autopilot which integrates nicely with the HDS gen 2 or higher units.  I recently bought one for about $850 and also bought a hydraulic steering system for my spring brown boat.  Will be using it this spring for the first time.  Lowrance is a division of Simrad so the unit is similar.   Been on a boat with one and it is exceptional.  I already have a HDS touch gen 2 and have the Yamaha engine data displayed on it.

    To figure it out you need to know the diameter of the piston and its stroke (travel).  If you can find out that info it is easy.  Volume  of the cylinder would be  (pi) 3.1416 x radius squared x stroke.  Sorry but I don't have scientific abbreviations on this keyboard.   For example, if the cylinder diameter is 1 inch and the stroke is 10 inches then:  Radius is .5 inch  so  3.1416 x (.5 x.5) x 10    to continue .5 x.5 is radius squared which is .25.   So 3.1416 x .25 x 10 = 10.785 cubic inches.

      To prove it on a very common volume that everyone hears about, Take a 350 cubic inch Chevy engine has a 4 inch bore and a 3.48 inch stroke.  So 3.1416 x 2 squared x 3.48 is the volume of each cylinder.  3.1416 x 2 x 2 x 3.38 = 43.731 cu in  per cylinder. but there are 8 cylinders so 43.371 x 8 = 349.848 cu inches.  Chevy rounds it off to 350.

    To convert to cc (cubic centimeters), multiply cu in x 16.387.  So 350 cu in x 16.387 cc = 5735.45 cc or 5.73545 liters and again they round it off to 5.7 liters.

     Of course you can do the total calculation in cc's if that is the data you have

    Beware of the "Remington Moment"

    Had a 700 in 300 mag do it 25 years ago. Had a gunsmith fix problem that was before anyone knew about it. Sean

    I did a lot of research on this issue. Remington knew about it a bit after introducing that model in the late 1940s. The origional designer wanted to change it but was overruled because it would cost 50 cents per rifle to fix. They have always fought it but lost a few court cases in the 90s after fatalities. Now they are repairing them. The first change/ repair didn't go well because there could be extra epoxy used in a certain area causing a similar issue. The origional issue was caused by a poor fit that would cause the trigger to slip if there was a certain amount of debris or slight wear present. All 700s from inception until those manufactured just a few years ago after the epoxy fix should be considered suspect.

    It is hard to follow the time line. They made a fix in the early 2000s but that has been recalled for additional problems. The bottom line is every 700 since 1948 when it was first manufactured until the first fix, potentially has the origional problem. I took mine back to the store in 1968 when I was 15. Of course, I wouldn't do that today. This has been a well publicized.problem but just trying to be sure everyone knows about it. As I mentioned, I have personally experienced it 2x. I also have another 700 which was my father's originally and that one has never done it.

    Anyone who has a Remington Model 700 rifle in any variation should be aware of the potential FATAL flaw in the safety mechanism.  The older versions can discharge by simply moving the safety to the firing position without pulling the trigger.  I have one that has done this TWICE in the last 48 years.  I bought this rifle at age 15 in 1968 and on its first target firing it discharged without the trigger.  I returned it to the sporting goods store where it was purchased and the store owner said he would "adjust it" ??  Seemed OK after that for about 30 years until it happened again while preparing to unload at the end of a day of hunting. Luckily it was pointed at the ground this time.  I do not use it anymore.  Remington will repair them now after decades of litigation and fatalities.  If anyone has a 700, DO NOT have it pointed at anything you may not want to shoot when moving the safety.  If in need of repair check out the situation online for return info.  Some refer to this as a "Remington Moment".

    Here is why I really love Obama And Hillary, the cold hard facts. I am self employed and before Obamacare had paid about $300/month for a healthcare policy that fit my needs perfectly. Soon after my policy was deleted and I was forced Into an ObamaCare policy. Its cost increased steadily. I never received my $2500 reduction and I never was able to keep my Doctor as the Liar In Chief promised. I have just recieved a notice that my cost starting Jan 1 will be $981 per month. I do not qualify any subsidy because I make just over the limit. However, I am eternially grateful that I have pregnancy coverage and drug and alcohol abuse coverage which I do not need. Lest I forget Mental problem coverage also. Since I am a 63 year old male, I am so grateful to the Democrats for my pregnancy coverage.
