    I've always used double uni knots, but after looking at a video of the willis knot I think I will have to give that a try.

    Been towed and given tows - you are right - what goes around comes around. Never pass up an opportunity to help someone in need.

    This is a 29" x 12-1/2 pound brown that my grandson yanked in last season. My son, who is our boat captain and a taxidermist, molded and cast this reproduction and presented it to my grandson, his nephew, for his 16th birthday. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Or use a hole saw in the side and install a deck plate to cover the hole.

    Yes it does.

    I think if you were able to follow the wire in the water you would find it curves away from the boat as it goes down due to drag. This is similar to blowback on a downrigger. There will be a belly in the wire making it look straight close to the rod tip.

    I use a Walker's klincher type release and connect it directly to the probe similar to how it is recommended on the Torpedo wire website. I use the Torpedo wire, but it will also work on the coated wire. https://www.torpedodivers.com/scart/product_details.asp?ItemNum=ZP0010

    We do what Sk8man said.

    We run our short arms off the back and long arms to the side. Deepest lines are the corners and shallower on the outside. Deeper lines would get the heavier weights. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    My '92 100 hp Johnson acted that way one time when it needed thermostats. Make sure yours are opening as needed. Those motors have a "limp home mode" to give you a reduced speed when overheating. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    There were three captains who helped me tremendously when I first started fishing Lake O regularly - Richard Hajecki, Bill Ruth, and Carl Bish. Thank you Capt Carl and best wishes on your new adventures. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    We are using torpedo wire and the torpedo tube type antenna for the second season with no problems. Like both just fine.

    Back in the day I used a 100 w light bulb. That always kept my engine room about 38°. Don't know where you would get them now. Warning: this product is not intended to treat, diagnose or prevent any disease.

    You will tap off the heat exchanger or exhaust manifold to get water to lubricate the shaft seal. The water goes into the barbed fitting. The seal is made so that it is not supposed to drip, hence the name dripless seal. The seal on my boat is called a Norscott and it uses transmission fluid as a lubricant. In the three seasons since I changed the seals, I have not noticed the bottle of fluid going down any.

    We arrived mid day on Saturday. After launching the boat, checking in at Wiley's, settling in at the cottage we were beat and tried for a good rest for Sunday. We hit the lake at 6 and picked up a couple of 8 pound kings in110 fow west of the harbor. We decided to go NW and did best between 30/31 at 19/20 west. Our bite was mostly wires with swindler read spinner pulling a green glow fly doing most of the damage. This twenty was our best as we did 6 for 9 on kings plus one steelhead. Monday we hit the lake just a little earlier but couldn't seem to hold onto anything. We dropped fish until we picked up a 5 pound coho near our marks from Sunday. We also caught a couple of steelhead before getting a call that a friend was broke down and needed a tow. So we pulled up and found our friends and towed them back to port. Our return to the lake in the afternoon was uneventful. We will see what tomorrow brings. Today's bite was all spoons with a mix of things - king of sting, purple thunder, flounder pounder.

    I redid my trailer last summer while the boat was in the water. My nephew and I did the entire job in about three hours. That included changing rotors and calipers on one axle and adding them on the second axle for a trailer that was brought in from Virginia where they only had to have brakes on one axle.

    You fix the cheater in place with a rubber band to the downrigger line. Put the band on the rigger line and then close your snap over the rubber band when attaching it to your main fishing line. Do not clip the cheater to the rigger. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Navico = Lowrance/Simrad does have their broadband that is supposed to put out less that 1/5 the radiation of a cell phone. Simrad 3G is what I have on my boat for that reason.

    Do you have the decimal point on the display? Last year we had trouble with ours and it was the power cord. Replaced that and it worked perfectly the rest of the season. Knew it was the power cord by testing with a multimeter. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
