  1. I have 4 of them I bought used about 12 years ago. $900 for all from someone that thought they were too complicated. Run well. Had one display go last year. I like the fact that I can progam the depth and let it run down while I am doing something else. They also have the timed up and down cycling within a set distance like 10 ft or so. use it sometimes but never really noticed a improvement in releases. Retrieve is auto stop but it is not a short stop that detects disconnect of cable from water, it is an actual count up of pulley rotation.
  2. Looks like in front of the removed docks at the Mexico launch? Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Any info on the Mexico Launch lately?
  4. Meant to say "hall effect" device Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Pertronix kit has a small module that goes in the distributor and a pickup for the fall effect device. It all fits in the original distributor. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. 89 OMC Cobra's had points. I had one. Replaced with Pertronix ignition and their flamethrower coil. Worked great. That 5.7 would have a Prestolite distributor and kits are available Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. If you look into zinc in fresh water, you will find they do not work well. It is rare to see them erode. Magnesium is best but there are aluminum types that work well also. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Very good looking. Please assign the pics a number or ID so it is easy to place an order Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. I have the HDS 7 gen 2 touch on both my boats. On the 18 alum I use in the spring and for walleye, the structure scan is useful. On my 27 used on the lake only, the structure scan is not of much use. Overall. They are very goog. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I have a 93. GLS 175 and it has an alumni floor except for the gas tank cover with is plywood. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Sold / Closed 1987 starcraft islander 22'

    I am under the impression that you can't delete. This is why everyone edits and puts a SOLD on the title. Eventually it rolls back so far nobody looks at the post anymore

    Cannon rod holders on a 27 Sportcraft. They work well but the caps come off when removing a loaded rod. I put machine screws to hold the caps on. CANNON replaces 3 lost ones under warranty Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. I had just responded to your ad in the classified section with a pic. This arrangement works great if your 9.9 has power tilt Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. I have 27 inboard with 9.9 mounted on the center. It is on a home made bracket since I have access to a machine shop. It is hooked to the rudder arm with a steering cable. Works great with the hydraulic steering and autopilot. There is a company that makes that kind of bracket but it costs $500+. I Can send the bracket drawings if interested.

  15. The Cannon short stop works by a very very minor current through the water and into the control board via the cable. Put on an insulated cable where the only real contact with the water is on the cut surface of the end , then be prepared for issues. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. I had a 115 Johnson (93) that appeared to stop pumping. I pulled the pump and found it to be good. It turned out to be the fitting thru the case at the "pee hole" was plugged. It is smaller than the tube to it. A lot of work for nothing. After that , always poked a wire into it when it stopped. All Johnny-Rude owners should be aware of this , especially running in weedy areas.
  17. Last year I installed a new (2014) Yamaha F70 LA (four stroke) on a Sea Nymph GLS175. I like almost everything about the motor except two things. 1st, the idle below 900 rpm shakes a bit. I am told this is normal for inline 4 Yammy's. Since I use this mostly for slow trolling early spring browns, that is a nuisance. Yamaha states that the Talon SDS props improve low idle characteristics and allow easing shifting into gear, which is my second complaint. Has anyone had experience with the difference between the K type aluminum and the Talon SDS on their Yamaha 4 stroke. Are Yamaha's claims accurate ? I would like to know before spending the $$ on a new prop. I have the same type F70LA motor on a pontoon that is a 2013 and the act exactly the same so I assume it is inherent in the motor.
  18. Slimy grimy is an acid wash usually used on fglass. I have used it on al but dont let it on too long Mix with near boiling water and spray on with a yard type sprayer. Rubber gloves and scotchbrite while wet os the way to go Sent from my SM-G730V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. Engine not running. Should be 12 to 12.5 engine running should be 13 to 13.5 This is a gpod indication it is charging Sent from my SM-G730V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. It is difficult to find used Cannons with working a short stop. The older ones had a 5 amp relay that burned up quickly and was not replaceable easily. Newer ones have a 10 amp relay on the board and are ok but have other problems . Good luck on your search.
  21. Get rid of the wife and price limit is solved Sent from my SM-G730V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. The problem with multi viscosity oils is the addatives necessary to perform the task at different temps are the main culprits in forming sludge.
  23. From the AMSOIL website "OK . . .What does a 5W-30 do that an SAE 30 won't? When you see a W on a viscosity rating it means that this oil viscosity has been tested at a Colder temperature. The numbers without the W are all tested at 210° F or 100° C which is considered an approximation of engine operating temperature. In other words, a SAE 30 motor oil is the same viscosity as a 10w-30 or 5W-30 at 210° (100° C). The difference is when the viscosity is tested at a much colder temperature. For example, a 5W-30 motor oil performs like a SAE 5 motor oil would perform at the cold temperature specified, but still has the SAE 30 viscosity at 210° F (100° C) which is engine operating temperature. This allows the engine to get quick oil flow when it is started cold verses dry running until lubricant either warms up sufficiently or is finally forced through the engine oil system. The advantages of a low W viscosity number is obvious. The quicker the oil flows cold, the less dry running. Less dry running means much less engine wear
  24. that could be my comments from Sunday
  25. Scratches help catch more fish Fish will always bit on lures from a pitiful boat They feel sorry for those fisherman As in the tv commercial, everyone knows that. Sent from my SM-G730V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
