Very well "spoken" Pap!

Looking for the 36 position Penn swivel base, the ASM622 model.

In extreme cold weather I saw a car burn when filling his tank with a plastic gasoline can. When filling your portable boat tanks you must put them on the ground to

prevent a spark. Your built in tank needs a ground wire installed and a metal fuel nozzle for safety.

That's a great reminder to put plastic gas cans on the ground when filling them. I've seen people leave them on the tailgate of their trucks when filling them. Even if it's a one in a million chance of something bad happening, I don't like those odds.

I'll have that green wire properly grounded this spring before my boat hits the water.

It happens to a lot of us every once in awhile. I haven't figured out a cure for it either. It seems to me that most forums like the pictures to be in landscape mode, and don't mix portrait mode pics with landscape mode pics. This isn't always true, but it seems to throw some forums into havoc mode and turn pics at random.

I know you're not the only one who has asked this question...

Draw me a sketch of what you want and I'll make it for you in my shop.

Just wanted to say thanks for the kind offer. I settled on this Eagle Feet mount instead of trying to fabricate one. Have a great fishing season in 2016!

After much searching the internet looking for ideas that best fit my needs, I settled on a product that another LOU member mentioned in a post, back in 2011 I think. It's called Eagle Feet by T and L products. They are sold as a pair, and you mount one on each side of the boat, then mount a board across them. This gives me the flexibility to mount it where ever I need to, without any permanent attachments. Here is a picture of what it looks like in case someone else has the same need sometime in the future.

Thanks for the info, it might be the same...

No problem at all, thanks for the update! I figured I could probably use 1 more manual rigger.

Great day of fishing, nice looking catch, thanks for the report!

Thanks! I even did a google search and couldn't find anything. I heard it might be 2 5/8 x ?, but I don't know the ?.

I might have missed it but that was the first of many places I looked. I'll look again, thanks!

Thanks!

Looks like Scotty is much cheaper than Cannon on ebay. Is there a difference in quality? I wouldn't think so...

Sorry guys, I finally found another thread that answers my questions. Thanks!

How can I get in touch with you? It seems the PM's are not getting to you.

I use 150# 200ft cable, only the Cannon brand so far but open to anything else that's comparable.

Or any other Scotty riggers if they share the same bolt pattern?

1050 and 1060 manual downriggers?

Matt, if my boat wasn't blocked in by a dumpster I would consider fishing this month. I have to do all the spring prep on the motors but this warmer weather has me itching to go fishing.

That was the problem with this boat, much of the wiring (minus the main wiring harness) was replaced by previous owners. We're pretty sure it is the ground for the fuel filler tube. The only way to confirm this is the remove 1 or 2 panels, and by that point he was out of time and I was out of money. He worked on that electrical system for 2 days, charging by the hour, and that was all my budget could handle at the time.

The wiring on the boat was so bad when I bought the boat that I hired a marine electrician to rewire it. That green wire was the only wire he had trouble tracing. I'll look again when I get the cover off. Thanks!

I have a green wire that looks like it connects to the fuel filler tube, judging by the area the wire comes from at the stern. I assume it is the ground wire for the fuel filling tube, but what should it be grounded to? It's not long enough to connect to the fuse block at the center of the stern, and I have no idea what it was connected to before I bought the boat. It was hanging at the stern ever since I bought the boat. I can't see what it is attached to under the transom either. The fuel filler tube is the only thing on the rear port side of the boat that would have any wires leading to it or from it. I don't have pictures of the part of the boat I am referring to. Any ideas?

Mine has an Evinrude 90, and is a 1987 model. My beam is 7ft 2" and the dry weight is 1,000 pounds. It tows like a dream and handles 4ft seas real well, as long as the swells are more spread apart. 3-4ft chop can be a little rough.

I'm not the seller, but I wanted to pass along some boat specs for anyone interested.

We have 400ft of fence around our chicken yard and the night crawlers were so thick last fall that you couldn't walk out there without stepping on them. Most of them were stuck together 2 by 2. That's the most I've ever seen, and we've had chickens for 3 years.
