Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The seat is still available. I will be at Sodus Bay on the  7th. if you want it.

The seat and base  is in very good condition. In storage since 2007. Could be picked up at Sodus Bay.

Very Good Condition.  These reels were on my spring rods.. Have been stored  for the last 4 years. Good drags and clickers.

I have 4-  47 LC's for sale, They are in good condition. 1 has a power handle and 1 is in need of a lense cover for the counter . Other than that, they are good.. I have not used them in a few years. The drags were gone over at Tuna's Reel Troubles several years ago.  Good clickers.  If interested let me know. I will be at Sodus Bay early next week.

Fishmedic,  they are 4" on the corners, and 6" on the center.

I like them. I've had others on previous boats and the Traxtech are my preference. I like the anodized look. Any track system is a plus. Have you ever wished you could move something a few inches, or regretted drilling those holes? Those days are over with tracks. Here is mine.

A word of advise is to not waste your time. I owned 4 in the early 90's. They are nothing but trouble. I do know that Lake Systems was converting them to a toggle switch and a mechanical line counter, after they ran out of circuit boards. They also leaked the oil, that the motor case, was filled with. I regretfully used them for 1 1/2 seasons.

I also installed an octopus drive unit on my 1991 Weekender. It is a great alternative, for auto pilot installation, on cable steered boats.  I used a Simrad AP 24 auto pilot, AC12 course computer, and RC42 rate compass to connect to the drive unit.. The unit I installed, is the below deck model. I purchased the longer cable so I could mount the drive unit  in the center compartment, away from the twins.  The overall install was fairly simple. The hardest part for me was connecting the cable to the existing power steering ram. Not a lot of room, and I am not a contortionist.    So far it has performed great. It handles 3'-4's no problem.   

New pilot is on the way! I went with a Octapuss remote drive unit, a 9 ft. cable, and a Simrad AP 24 Pilot. Looks to be a simple install.  Also, I think the remote drive is a great alternative, to a behind the dash, or on the dash, install for cable steering. I do have AP 12R parts. 2 controlers, newer compass, tilt wheel set-up,  junction box and a defective drive unit. Let me know if I can help, since parts are no longer available. Good Fishing To All! Brian

No luck at Octupus as far as gettin it repaired. They did make the drive unit for Simrad. But, Simrad added all the other stuff in the inside, that a seperate autopilot controler doese, for the drive unit now. Holly Mackerel, did your buddy get the SP110 control head? Hows the pilot work, any complaints? Thanks Brian

Thanks everyone. Yes Glen, It is a good unit, that I hate to part with. I'm gonna keep trying.  Madman1, do you have a schematic of the inside of the drive unit? If so, could you please send it to me at [email protected]. Thanks in advance. Holy Makerel thanks for the info on Octupus marine. I called them today. Still waiting on a response. I' ll let evryone know what happens. Yes Frisco, the guy I spoke with, didn't want to give me any help at all. Thanks again to all. Brian

I had problems with it last year. It was n't holding a course. I recalibrated the compass several times with no results. I installed a new compass and controler about 4 years ago. The problem is in the drive unit.  I called Simrad and they told me they no longer service this pilot, and parts are not available.I had it packed and ready to send. They were no help whatsoever. My understanding is that the AP12R was still sold by them untill 2009. Ya think they'd still service it. I did alot of searching, and sent emails with a few results, that came to a dead end. Just might have to can it. Anyone know of a place that might service this pilot? Thanks Brian 

Hi Paul,

I am sure that I have 1 or 2 extra monitors . I also have a complete unit for sale. Send me a pm. I will be leaving for lake ontario thursday evening and fishing all weekend, with no computer to answer you. I will check when I get home on sunday. Bushwacker

SOLD

Called Lake Bluff CG, no permanent sites are available, and they do have a waiting list.

Thanks for the interest, and yes it could if sites are available. The lot rent is $1400. I need to move on this cause my new camper is waiting. I sent you a pm.

Do you still have the triple boards for sale?

1983 coachman 40 RK Fithwheel camper located at Lake Bluff Campground, 1 mile from Sodus Bay. Everything works. Sleeps 4 adults and 2 kids. The camper is on a permanent site and has been, for about 15 years. It is in good condition for its age. It will have to be moved. $2,000 obo.

Great Lakes Planers for me. I have a 270 Amberjack with a rocket launcher plus with lights and a couple extra rod holders (14 total) that came in at less then $1,200 a few years ago.. The system is totaly ajustable. Could not be more pleased. I was amazed at the quality, and simplicity to install. Great people to deal with and they aim to pleeze.

Great fish, and a fathers day you will never forget. Thanks for sharring.

Entered on the 15 th, Received my receipt for payment on the 17 th. Received the cancelation notice on the 18 th. @ 10:42 am. I had already left for the lake at 5:00 am on the 18 th. ( 4 hour ride)Never new it was canceled till around 10:00 am on the 19 th. We would have fished regardless. But it sucks anyway. Boat derby would have been perfect for me. I liked the fact that everyone on the boat is covered. Spring, Summer, and Fall Derby's, Its all on board or none. Kind a has a domino effect with dollars.

Pound for pound torpedo's will do the job, and do it well. Blow back is less, compared to others. Never had any crossing issuses. They track well and they do n't break the bank.

My Amberjack has twin 4.3 LX 205 hp. Mercs. The boat is not under powered. It jumps up on plane, cruises low 20's and tops out in the low 40's. The boat is loaded with gear, but it seldom has more then 3 on board. The boat is at Sodus, you are welcome to come over and check it out. Just let me know.

I also had some transducer problems. Changed over to an AIRMAR B60 thru hull for my LCX 110C. Its been 3 years and the unit has been flawless. Just Google Airmar transducers and you will get there.
