My 1990 has no threads just a flip up cap.

   It's not real easy. Mine had sprayed in foam and a cardboard tube going threw it. I used a heavy gauge wire. Wrapped it around the old cable a twist tied it real good around the old cable. Taped it real good so the edges don't get caught in the cardboard tubing. Pull the old cable out to the front of the boat. Snip your wire off and use the wire to pull it back threw to the back in the same manner. If all fails and it gets caught on you other cables. Cut out your foam and replace the cardboard tube with flexible plastic tube so it is easier next time and replace the foam. I have done it both ways. When I replaced the tubing I made it big enough to run cables for kicker motor transducer cable ect.

 Cut it off. Order a new one. Use the old one to pull the new one threw. Once they get stiff they are shot.

My auto parts store carries them. They are called a rocker switch. Just tell them you need forward stop and reverse.

 3M Product #847

Ordered. Thanks rolmops

 I am replacing the water pump on my Johnson. I bought the whole pump kit. Just watched a good youtube video on installation. It said to glue the impeller cup into the water pump housing. They said to check with manufacture for what type of glue. Anyone know what type to use ?  I have done a few impellers just not the whole kit. Thanks

 Thanks guys guess I will not do inflatables.

 Are  Luhr Jensen Dodgers stamped on them ? I have some 8 in Dodgers but they are not marked.

  I wear a Mustang suit when it's cold.

Looking to upgrade my PFDs. I have several older Sterns life vests in my boat.  They are getting a little raggedy. My boat is pretty space challenged. Was thinking of getting several inflatable vests. Not looking to break the bank but looking for small, DEPENDABLE but affordable (not that I am putting a price tag on safety). If I go with inflatable do the cartridges have a shelf life and need to be replaced regularly ?

check Ebay

a couple different sellers have them 2/11.99

Didn't see OR32 lights

   I have looked at some of the other options just really like the or32 lights. Don't really understand why they discontinued them. I have 2 pair would like to add 2 more.

Been discontinued for awhile. Red or yellow or just the flag bases.

  What's your location ? I have a old style 500lc I would sell. I would rather not ship. Only used a half a dozen times at most.

Yeah  I would just spend the money and get a 12 volt Lithium battery made for flashers. I have way to much money into my flasher to be experimenting with it.

Here is a tread from Ice shanty guy did it with a Ryobi battery.  https://www.LOU/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=379821.0

Going for my 2nd and final lesson in the AM. Nice job Miss em   Thanks for the reports.

Does it have compression ? year. shaft length ? Thanks

  Blue glow #5 rap is my go to for Oneida. My best eye bite came mid day. Got 2 that may have been 15 and broke one off on a hookset.

 I fished the north shore today also. Hiked out of Edgewater. Defiantly a tough bite. Marked fish all day. Few short eyes and a few Perch. Beautiful day to be  out.

We will start our early spring salmon fishing running a lot of straight running sticks like renowskis and bombers

Renowskis are the cheapest quality lure I have ever used. Yes they are ok for Walleye But I have had more than one have the tail section broken off by big Walleyes. Last batch I bought I was lucky if 1 out of 4 didn't fill up with water right out of the package. I would like to see what a big King would do to one.

Like Frogger said it's the kill switch. It should have a plastic clip around it holding it out, usually on a tether cord. You can connect the tether to you and if you are thrown away from the controls it pulls the clip out and kills power to your engine.  

Emerald Shiner numbers seemed good early spring in the river.I had no problem netting bait.
