The problem with check valves is that they work for fuel ,but they will let air through. I had the problem that the working engine would start sucking air instead of fuel. A three way shutoff valve took care of that problem

It occurs to me that you are predicting the demise of the chinook.

I used them for years with twilly tips. Never a problem. The only thing that made me change them out was the length(10 feet) I now use 8 foot Taloras

The Chinese government has been doing exactly this idea ,with mosquitoes. Every few weeks they release several millions of genetically altered mosquitoes in order to fight ZIKA in their areas.They are actively mating but sterile. So far this is very successful and far less dangerous for the environment than chemical spraying.

It sounds very good. Specially the efforts being made to prevent unintended side effects. Maybe some experiments can be done in a few lakes that are not connected to any other lakes,so the experiment is insulated and can be controlled.

Which is it? Have you ever gone over the speed limit? Did you ever drive home with one too many in your belly? Did you ever ignore a do not trespass sign. If you have not than you are holier than an angel. I hate seeing all that good fish going to waste and I would much rather see it being used. This is not comparable to stealing cigarettes ,because cigarettes are not on the verge of dying and rotting. There is no good solution within the way the laws are written today. As for law enforcement ,please let them do it where it matters. In the small tributaries that are being raped as we speak. But wasting precious resources on dying salmon? That is really not worth the effort.

My point is that we should not be holier than thou. As for breaking the law. When rich people intend to break the law, they change the law to make sure that their crimes become legalized. Poor people do not have that luxury. But I agree that breaking the law must be punished. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yes it is illegal and yes the DEC is absent although they know that it is happening. But salmon do not reproduce in the Genny and all these pounds of fish that otherwise would just die and rot are at least being eaten (in sushi ?). Anyway,my point is that we who call ourselves sports fisherman are very self righteous about the "ethics" of the sport because we stick to certain rules in our pursuit of chasing and often killing these very same fish while not even eating them. We often talk about the economic value of our fishery. What happens down at the falls also has economic value. For the inner city people it is an economic windfall. This yearly event at the falls should not be compared to the yearly rape at many tributaries done by people who have no respect for a scarce resource that is threatened by their misbehavior. The good part of this event is that for now at least the salmon have come back in large numbers. Were they all Chinese and Russians and Others (aliens?)? I think that the DEC should be down there not so much to stop the taking of fish but to make sure that these people at least have paid for a fishing license. Ok now take up your pen and condemn me

Out of the Genny
rolmops replied to rolmops's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Thanks for the heads up. My GPS is hard wired into my dash so there's no problem there. Anyway,with 9 mph southern winds and 70 degrees there is not much chance of fog -

I tried to launch at the I-Bay launch this morning ,but it looked very iffy. So I drove to the Genny where the launches are always deep enough and from there we turned west. This proved to be a waste of time so we picked up and went east until we ended up east of I-Bay. There the browns were cooperating. We fished in 50 foot water with 2 dipsies (46 and 70) 2 riggers (27 and 43) and 2 8 color cores off the boards at about 2.5 mph. We used dream weaver super slims with superman lures, the riggers with stinger scorpion and chicken wing and some other bright colors. 8 browns later we called it a day. Probably the last day this year. Next week I'll be fishing under the Golden Gate Bridge.

I may be wrong ,but I was left with the impression that they do not know that what they do it is illegal.

When you go to another outdrive it should come with the gimbal housing and transom plate. I do not think that the hole in the transom is any different. As for different or larger engines..., Your boat was constructed with certain weight and power limitations in mind. Changing to a heavier engine is not a good idea because you will have to change other things to accommodate that. As for ford,OMC used them a bit. Just ask yourself why mercruisers are still around and liked. The only other popular one is Volvo-Penta. As for $250.. you get what you pay for.
