  1. a 3.7 L merc is a aluminium block and a 460 big block head . they do not stand up to a over heat . I would bet its a frozen wrist pin . dark water is right barrettes all the way fran been with mercury a long time , bring a fat check book tho
  2. from experience from having the same issues sounds like number 4 cylinder is knocking . they are known to have the connecting rod lock up . I replace mine with another 3.7 xl and kept the original motor for parts . I got lucky and found a good motor in a crush boat the owner wanted it gone got it cheap . good luck with repair
  3. hi todd , does the kicker have controls also and if you would separate from boat how much $
  4. day 2 ... my day blew literally ended up 5 bows 1 laker , not any of them big enough for board . so where is the next finger lakes derby ?
  5. nice brown les it will be hard to beat ,congrats les
  6. day 1 from the north..... was on the lake setting up by 5:15 am, wasn't to bad for the wind at first . the skies look bad to the north of the city . the fish didn't seem to care they were biting . around 9:00 am my buddy got a call from his son in law the ovens are down at cams pizza shop in pen yann , an hour later the call came back in need help so we picked up and headed back in. we did 5 lake trout 2 bows and I dropped a big laker at the boat , man did that hurt we stopped at the scale and weighed the bows biggest was 4.7 trying day 2 from the south with 20 mph winds don't expect much to happen , but you never know
  7. lake trout are for fishing in derbies turn them into money . then take home feed to the critters out back
  8. pap google u charter slide diver youtube watch the basic and there is one how to use with wire that's how I run them . I have 4 diver rods so I just keep the slide diver rig and ready to go .
  9. went out of the north ramp for the first time . was fun going to fish a new spot we went 9 for 9 on lakers . heavy rain and wind blew in so we called it a day . went to seager marine to get into derby next week the owner was saying only sold 4 tickets . come one come all help out camp good days might as well dark water don't want you to play in his sand box lol like funny hahahahaha
  10. the cam (arm) to the pump must be under the fuel pump drive for it to work . check for bad fuel line, crack lines will suck air not fuel . also check to see if water separator is full of water or grim
  11. great something else I must have lol
  12. every one has been putting out nice reports .Ontario fishing sounds like its slow . think I will take a wait and see attitude . the finger lakes has a lot to offer , closer to home for me . hope the kings show in numbers this year
  13. thanks for the help
  14. looking for information, when is it and where to sign up for it. I know there is a north ramp to launch from but I have a hard top with a planer board mast on top of it is there any low clearance I need to worry about
  15. nice report congratulations on the BFF win. I need to learn how to catch browns, i have only gotten 1 brown while on Seneca lake
  16. i am fine with it I used sawbellys this weekend also. when I stop to get bait there was a young lad and his mom getting bellys. they were going to sit on shore and fish the derby . I have a ton of money into fishing equipment, they can go fishing for next to nothing and have a good time doing so with out boats and what not
  17. nice report, I love to fish Seneca lake don't care if it is a tuff bite it will be back to no one fishing it witch means I can get in a nice quiet morning of fishing in be for the boaters come out
  18. sk8man I ran hemlock spinners also seth greens slide dipsys and boards. I couldn't get a hit till I went to the cow bells and spin and glows .I took my seth green rod and made up a 3 way swivel with a 3 pound weight and cow bells and put 3 leaders on the chain beads. I also used pro cure smelt sent, then grinded out the miles. when we got hooked up I would take the rod and put it in mid ship rod holder, the wife would work the rod, I ran leaders and then net the fish
  19. three days of fishing fun in the sun . the bite was hard the first day only 3 lakers for the 8 hours that my wife and I put in with a fish that weigh 8.64 on the board . day two fishing for us was hot 16 lakers boated in a 7 hours of fishing and a 9.7 that made the board . day three was the hardest day for us only 3 lakers boated with the biggest only 6 # . A special thanks to Gambler his custom spin N glows with the hammer head cow bells took every laker we got
  20. day three just got up wife said her arms are on fire. I told her she has to bite the head off a sawbelly for good luck today of course I got eww
  21. the standing are wrong wife weighed laker at noon in Geneva not listed I would think it would have made the 130 pm board , we check book tomorrow
  22. day two done for me , 16 lakers today made wife fight ever one . she has two lake trout on board 8.6 and 9.7 hope they hold
  23. on deadliest catch they run out 150 miles to the fishing grounds a day early but don't drop a pod to the magic time . I think it means when you put you gear in the water as sk8man said they should state the start time better
  24. i have lowrance elite 5 chirp and elite hdi they both have excellent pictures the down part for the chirp series if you run a fish hawk the chirp will make interference with the fish hawk the hdi doesn't
