  2. Thanks for the kind words gentlemen, Jim, just give me a call anytime. The advice above is spot on. Well chat soon. Nick Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Optimistic, I like that. Keep plucking! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. Way to go! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. So raw water, was there pieces of impeller missing? If so these can get stuck at the thermostat and cause a malfunction, also can plug your risers on your manifolds. If there were pieces missing I would try to back flush the motor. I'm not ruling out a defective thermostat either, especially if you've had previous temp issues Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. The blocks can be the same but what is in them could be different. Vince has had his share of work done I'm sure. I know for a fact I have crusader motors but in 2005 they were replaced with mercruiser long blocks on a pallet as drop in motors. But they are still a crusader application.

  11. Well, brent and Eric took up the offer last night to join me. After helping the neighbor with his boat that decided to take on a few gallons of water over night we got a late start about 630. Stuck to the high line program again. Sticks and spoons. Took two shots on sticks and nobody home. Got one on a spoon that was inhaled! Off the rigger 7 down back 30ft. Instantly ran with some line. Here is a shot below. Water Temps in canal 44 and lake 37.8 Dirty water we worked was 40 to 42. Only strikes in warmer water.

  12. Well today was a bit slow. Not much action. On salmon in the first 10 minutes then nothing. Enjoyed a flat day on the water. Took my sister and her other half today. Was a lot of fun. Canal is warm. Lake average was 37.9. South east side boasted 38 to 40 degree water. Very few Marks but the seagulls were in full swing. There is a TON of bait here. I believe the fish are just full to the gills. Nick May be out tomorrow solo. Late post but if someone wanted to go? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Who needs to know their true ball depth... I mean I don't get that, it's a nice feature but this is my first hawk and I love it so far. The subtroll was nice but I like being able to take the probe off everytime... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. I wish I worked in the marine aspect of everything.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. Lol! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. I've bought a set of the Chinook divers as well. They pull nicely through the water but I have yet to rely on them.. I'll use them some more this year. I will admit they do release nicely. As far as color. I run black Mags for close and deep and clear for spoons high and far Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. Thanks pap. I have my insight into the diesel world an oils as mentioned before. I can rebuild anything but the long term effect is where I wanna be. The safest form of lubrication I bc an do for these motors the better. Vince I may be wrong on the 260 description, but I feel like it's what's marked there and in my manual. I'm going off the top of my head. Of course the one picture I have doesn't show it clearly. .... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. ^^^^^^^ Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. I'll feel better with straight 40. Pap, are you adding extra zinc additive to yours? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. Thanks guys, paul. The hp is 350 hp on these motors, the model is a crusader 260. As mentioned above. I'm almost 100 percent that's what it says in the book and manual. I could be wrong. I deal with diesels day in and day out. I wish I had some. I'll be hitting up tractor supply if I can't get a better price straight from our Rotella dealer here in Elmira.

  21. Okay. I need 1 1/4" Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. What size rail will they fit. Any idea? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. Just curious what the guys on here are running in their crusader 454's for oil. The prior maintenance records show the marina using a 15w40 shell oil. I may just run straight 40 shell. Anyone have a preference for this motor. I will add the zinc additive regardless. Nick Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. Thanks guys. Have a few kinks to work out but she rides like a champ. Can't wait to get some hours in! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. Are you trying to do it from your phone? If so, the app unit does not work for this process. Use your Internet browser to post then once posted upload photos through the app. It probably is telling you it can not post due to the post not being marked for sale or trade or wanted....
