I would like to Thank Everyone for all the Great input ! I have a 18' boat and will be buying just 1 set up for now so it looks like a 600' copper would be the most versatile way to go . (along with a pair of wire cutters ) Trying new things is half the fun fishing. (can't decide if spending money or catching fish is the other half) Thanks again for all the help!!! JT

YT, Spring and Fall I fish out of the Genesee . During the summer I fish out of Sodus . How do you set your drags for copper ? Is it anything like wire ? Thanks again for all the good info ! JT P.S. What do you normally run on the copper ? (spoon , SD ....)

Chowder , If you where to get just 2 copper rigs what lengths would they be ? Thanks everyone for the Great info

Last season I picked up 2 dipsy wire set ups which out fished my riggers . So everything I read here was true . Now I would like to pick up a copper rig . But not sure how to run it . Do you let copper out like wire with a loose drag then tighten it up a bit ? If I am running 2 riggers and wire dipsies on either side ,when do you put the copper in ? To keep tangles to a minium do you run it down the shoot or inline planner ? Thanks for any help !!!! JT

FYI was just checking the Garmin web site they have a $100.00 rebate on some of their marine gps's

I would look at : BOE marine - Anchor Express - GPSonsale . Good Luck!!!!

Maybe this link will help ! http://www.raymarine.com/raymarine/Subm ... _guide.pdf http://www.humminbird.com/leading_innov ... -plus.aspx looks like it could be the same thing

Hi ! Was wondering if anyone used braided line instead of cable for their riggers and if it wouldn't eliminate the voltage problem ? If you do use it ,will it last as long as the cable ? http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equi ... d-line.htm Thanks JT

Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! payment sent . Thank You ! JT

I think it really depends on how much $$$ you want to spend . Unless your going to buy a combo with a 8" or larger screen I would buy 2 units . I picked up a nice Ray DS500 on sale at Bethel marine and plan on buying a Garmin GPS this spring . I am never a big fan of putting all my eggs in 1 basket , so I like knowing if one unit is going in for service I will still have the other. And I will do it for well under a $1k . On the transducer do you mean setting the puck inside the hull and letting it shoot thur the fiberglass or drilling a hole in the bottom with a hull mounted transducer? The best I believe would be , hull mount , transom mount and then thur the hull . Good Luck !

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family . God Bless ! JT

Jax I had a Starcraft I restored. I painted it with Marine enamel and a small 4" foam roller . It came out like glass, you couldn't tell it wasn't sprayed. Went to PepBoys and bought some pin striping , the boat looked great when it was done . Just be sure to use some aluminum primer on any bare spots. Got the idea from this web site- http://www.sailingworld.com/sailing-gea ... 00727.html (didn't use the brush just the roller) Just a thought! Good Luck ! JT

while you got the motor out it's a good time to check the coupler for wear. http://www.mercstuff.com/page08.htm

I have epoxied a block and it worked great. First you want to drill a small hole at each end of the crack to keep it from spreading . Then grind the crack to get a good clean surface . I even drilled a few 1/8" holes along the center of the crack to force the epoxy into crack to give it more holding power. ( you want to force the epoxy into the crack so it curls into block ) Boat engines don't build up pressure like the closed cooling system in you car. Unless the crack is so bad that the whole piece could fall off I don't think you have much to lose by trying the epoxy. Good Luck JT

Thank You !!!

Have a couple ??. 1st- I have a dash mounted VHF radio , is it worth the trouble to remove it for the winter with the rest of the electronics ? 2nd- The boat has a wash down pump and a live well pump both connected to a through hull on the bottom of the boat. Will they drain or do I need to get anti freeze in them ? Thanks for any help !! JT
