    Oil

    fisherdude replied to Zinger11's topic in This Old Boat

    shell rotella 15 w 40 diesel is good oil been using it for years now . you said that you are doing a new install of a motor . is it a crate motor new from mercury? if so might need brake in oil / or mercury oil to keep from voiding warranty .

    no put the track on top of the gunnel and the backing plate under the gunnel the bolts go threw the tracks and the backing pate then use lock nuts

    by looking at your pics i would remove the step in pad from the gunnel and get a set of tracks and used 1/4 inch aluminum plate . they make a step in pads that fit into the tracks . when not being used for the down riggers

    i agree first time buying a panther motor bracket . the one that came on my boat is wood mounting pad but only rated for a two stroke . i tried to find a new wood mounting pad on the web but all i would find is plastic .as i said above we change things up, working good now.

    thanks Mike your flies were a steady pick of fish at time we had the 2 dipsy rods and a rig rod going at once .
  18. fisherdude
    rod 1 is 12 ft between beads rod 2 is 15 ft between beads . 2 ft from weight to first bead . depending on conditions and speed depends on what lb weight i will use . most of the time 2 lb weights will do . you can run 5 leaders and up to 15 points . if i am fishing lake trout the bottom seems the best . that will work the water column bottom 65 ft to 75 ft up. the leaders are 12 ft long . i use a leader box to keep my leaders in (see above pic open and id pic is the leader box closed) if i am going to run cowbells and spin&glows i use a 3 way swivel rig and put weight and bells to that instead of the beads then skip the first bead and then 4 leaders of spoons . when marking fish threw the water column i count down the ft to the top leader . like i want the top leader at ft 30 down that be around 6 pass of the level wind on the reel . i think that answers your questions if you think of any more let me know .

    as i said the blacks i like for kings the finger lakes when using down riggers i use the pinch pad but can bend the rod down like i do with black releases , i will check the chamberlain also .
  22. fisherdude
    i marked a lot of fish and bait around 50 to 60 down . i ran one of my rig rod high but could get any thing to go . so i ended up working the bottom up with rig rods . as the thermocline moves deeper i will pick LL and bows on the top leaders and lakers on the bottom leaders . what i should have done is put my cores out on boards . my buddy likes lakers for some reason. lol , i just keep looking for that hog of a laker . i wasn't keeping any fish to eat so did'.t care ..

    i take that kind of day any time , what lake and what were u catching ?
  24. fisherdude
    it is plastic . a friend made me a pad out 1/4 aluminium plate and 1 3/4 oak and i had the carb adjusted on my tohatsu . we fished yesterday it ran so much better with a lot lses vibration . we are thinking now the vibration was a big reason it crack and rough water finish it off .
  25. fisherdude
    another thing you can try is to use a walleye pinch pads off the weights . i use my blacks releases for the big pond .
