Might something be clogging up the pump somehow and trigering the breaker?

My my live well pump was not working I back flushed it and blew out a bunch of dead dried up minnows backflushing  might do the trick worth a try

  all for $450, b/o    I can text pics if need be.

  What Pap said, God bless you!!

  You got that right!

 Is that a coded message & what you really wanted to say?  lol  (no offense)   Nice mount!

  We fished out of Dunkirk today  targeted lakers with Gambler rigs we boated 20 & lost 3-4.   Also got a few eyes on gambler rigs released off the riggers (unintentional).   Ended up with 20 lakers, 2 steelies,  6-7 eyes but only 4 keepers. Had a great day, but hot as hell!

Really sad news,  I believe it is up to the owner/captain of the boat to tell every one on board where life jackets are located.  Also they are to be readily available at all times.

Nice work!

2 Cannon electric down riggers for sale

  Posting for a friend.  2  electric cannon Mag 10 A down riggers;    Digit Troll with auto stop;  4 ft. booms;  2 rod holders on each;  ball retrieval pulleys; swivel bases, & 2-  8# balls.  $ 500 for both.  In the Buffalo/ Alden ,NY area.  Local pick up .   Maybe can meet half way if need be.    Thanks for looking.

  Great to deal with, fast service & his product works great.  We have been killing the lakers using his cowbells!  On 2 outings on Erie we boated 33 lakers & all were released but 3 for the smoker.

  I made 2 out of some 3/8" steel rod I had laying around. Just bent it into a " s" shape & slipped a piece of  old gas line hose I also had & done!  looks like the Amish outfitters style & works great.

   Good answer!

  If they build a launch like the one at the Buffalo safe harbor it will be a waste of money & time! It's a million$$$ launch that $uck$ big time.  Just a terrible design all together!   To launch a boat by yourself you need to walk back & forth, up & down the ramp 4 times about 25 yards each time. Then to retrieve it you need to do it all again, just a plain stupid set up!

 " Really thrilled to call her mine"  your wife right!? Best you clarify or you might be sleeping on that boat alone.   lol

  Lmao, Stone ,every time someone mentions something new you got to have it, like a kid in a candy store! Go for it I guess. lol

 I heard from a friend a few years back it took 8 hrs, along with the ships.  He stopped doing it & put it on a trailer to go back & forth.  May have changed idk.

  Congrats , sounds like you had a great day! Pap is right you got the fever now!  lol

 Maybe Look at Grady whites.

  My outlet is next to the  hole that you put your safety chain into on the receiver  just to the side of it about an 1" away from it . I just drilled a couple holes through back of the plastic box & attached with self taping screws. the outlet faces out towards the back. I would guess you could mount it any where that is convenient & easy to get at.  If I knew how to do the pic thing I would post it  or I could text it to you. check your pm for my # if you want.  send me your #

  For your electric winch get one big enough( DD Litton 9,000 works for my 22 Grady) so you don't have to double up the line.  I ran my # 10 gage wires right off my truck battery with a breaker right on the pos. post along the frame right into a regular plastic house outlet box & a house 15 amp outlet which is mounted on the trailer hitch next to the receiver covered with a snap tight spring loaded outdoor outlet cover. Then I put a 3 prong electrical plug on the wire going to the winch connector., like an extension cord about 6-7' long. when using it I just plug it in on both ends & it works great!  When not in use I coil it up & put it in the truck.  Make sure you keep track of the + & - all the way through! I have moved & used this set up on 3 different trucks so far.  jmo good luck.

  Good for you, how does it pull down the road a bit big & heavier than the old one I bet.

  Was this with the new to you new big boat, if so how did she do?

  By the looks of these odd fish, I would say there is something in the water!  he he.

  I made some 1.5x12" they did have less blow back but I saw a lot of turbulence coming off/ behind  them on my sonar the entire length of the weight which I figured might spook the fish.   They weigh 11# ea.

19 strand wire is much more forgiving and can use a regular guide at least for a while just keep an eye on it

Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
 

   Check out the 19 strand Torpedo wire. It works very well, kink resistant, also can use easy knots with it. I have been using it for a few years now & with regular rod guides & tips.
