I used it last week and it worked. I noticed it didn't work rite away but after a minute it started . but thats why I changed it , it normanly works as soon as it starts.

Just put a new waterpump impeller in a 50 hp mercury o/b. (1985) It was peeing before I changed the impeller & now it does not. Any ideas why? The old one came out in one peice, fins were just was set one way. I tried the new one with the fins going both ways & still no pee. Thanks for any ideas!

thanks Jimski

Great info. Jimski, thanks you covered it all! We did 30 on Sat. very foggy . A couple of boats did over 100 they said. We were close ,but like you said we didn't over step their area. It amazes me how you can be so close & still get so few fish at times when the next boat is killing them! lol Jimski do you just freeze the minows or do you salt them first ? I fine that they get soft & mushy when I freeze them ? Thanks.

FYI , perch are being caught in front of Sturg. pt. 53 - 57 fow. I will be there in the am.!

Great buck, nice mount! congrats.

I always used auto. filters . I figured by changing them on a regular basis it didn't matter. New oil & new filters. I do the same with my lawn tractor & generator.

I notice the "swamp people" have the Tohatsu motors on some of their boats, If that says anything. lol

Trial & error. plus placement.

Friend of mine went out of Sturgeon Pt. Friday. He had no problem getting over the sand bar at the enterance. He marked lots of fish suspended but no takers for perch. Fished 20' - 62' fow.

I had the same question here without much response awhile ago. I might put some on also. For what it's worth I thuoght the Lenco electric are nice because you don't have to mess with the hydraulic pump & oil and they say the electric are faster to respond when useing. I have looked at both web sites. My buddy has the lenco's on his 20' Key West & they work great. Jmo. good luck.

3 Friends of mine use to fish lake erie in a 12' with a 10 hp out a few miles. (nuts imo) Also look on u tube for homemade canoe stableizers some good ideas there.

I never said that ,I was just giving info. incase you didn't know, sorry nothing meant by it ! Like I said I am not the worlds best typist/speller.

Anybody been out of sturgeon pt lately ? How is it getting over the sand bar? Could the Sm. boat harbor ramp be used without being ticketed now ? Thanks for any info.

Captain, thanks for doing the explanation. I don't do the copy, cut, paste, glue ,whatever thing. And my spelling and typing are worse. Takes for ever. Tbromund, if you google any of the bills #'s all their info. will come up most times. Just a little tip. thanks

Check out this bill & let your congressman know to support this bill, HR 4089, it is a WIN WIN for all sportsmen.

thanks for the info guys

Does anyone make a short dipsy rod ? I have 8 & 10 footers but was thinking shorter would be nice/useful at times. any other ideas? thanks

I use fireline 10/2 # right to the spreader for the perch.

Happy B-day Tcon

no problem

some of the lower nia. river guys use a old coleman lantern between their legs. I have a coleman camp heater thats never been used it uses white gas I'll sell cheap if interested .

Just a hole in the water to thorw you money into ! Go for the electric & get it over! lol

I know this is a lake Ontario forum but I also know many here fish lake Erie. I was wondering why on lake Erie there are no boat launches at Evangola state park or at Wendt beach state park ? It makes no sense, they both have access to lake shore , both have parking lots, both have booths to take our money, both have restrooms they have it all but the launches themselves!! All they need to do is put in the launches & a breakwater the rest is all there! I feel they could use our conservation moneies before they screw that up! We all know a few more spots to put a boat in Erie would not hurt us. Any thoughts ? Jmho.

A friend of mine told me his buddie went there & could not get his 16' across the sand bar at the entrance of the harbor. This was 2-3 weeks ago. I wonder how long it will be before the launches open up this year ? I would hope early due to the fact there is so little ice this year! I know last year Sturgeon Pt. didn't open until the 2nd week of walleye because it wasn't dredged. They should start now in m o.
