    LOL reminds me of when my Dad would take me to the village dump many moons ago and setup a whole bunch of glass bottles and blast away with the 22cal. The sound of the busting glass brings back some Great Memories with my Dad and that 22cal.savage!

    GPS Plotter?

    Posted

    I'm looking to rig up for next season and I'm looking to buy a GPS Plotter. I found that the Hummingbird 785c2I NVB was suggested by Mr. Billy V by searching the LOU forums and it looks to be something I would like to go with, good price to. It has a internal antenna, will it work on a boat with a hard top? If not can an external antenna be connected to it?

    Thanks

    The previous owner ran it with the cracked block leaking, he just installed a larger bilge pump to remove the leaking water. If the Marine-Tex is as good as they say it is I should have no problem. L&M I took your advice and ran some RV antifreeze though it, I even added some to the bilge pump Thanks for the tip :yes:

    Update

    Well I let the Marine-Tex setup good and gave it a paint job, my son and I yesterday got it all back together. Hooked up the water muffs and started it up. And no leaks we run it for awhile up to temp no leaks!! Also wanted to run the Sta-Bil though the system. I pulled all 5 blue plugs and drained the water out, now what else should I do to winterize it? Add anti-freeze to engine or should it be ok just draining at the blue plugs? Thanks for the tips on repairing the block!! :yes:

    WOW loved the video JR!! Very Very Cool :yes: Nothing like some good quality time with the family or friends. After seeing your video I can't wait to get our boat on the water with my boys next spring, of course my boys are 21 and 27 years old and we have alot to learn about fishing Lake Ontario. I'll be asking lots of questions.

    I cleaned up the cracks and the area around the crack with a die grinder, drilled the holes in the cracks cleaned it all up with cleaner and laid on about 1/8" of the Marine-Tex. Will that be enough 1/8"? or should I add more on top of the 1/8"?

    Thanks

    Ok I picked up the Marine-Tex yesterday, now to remove the engine. Any tips on this would be cool 8) I have removed and rebuilt a few Chevy's from cars just not from a boat. It looks like it could be a interesting adventure!

    Thanks Again
