    Furuno Problem I have been having an intermittent problem with my Furuno 620. Sometimes the depth displayed is incorrect according to the number displayed but the bottom is correctly represented by the screen. The deeper I go the more the difference is. I had the problem at the end of last year, but at the beginning of this season it was OK. Now it is incorrect again. My question is, transducer or head end problem or maybe some sort of ground issue? There is another transducer near the one for the Furuno but even with that unit disconnected I still see the problem. My thought is that if one or the other depth is correct, then the transducer is OK. I don't know enough about how the transducer interfaces with the head end to be certain though. I attached a photo that shows 79 fow on the bottom display but 108 fow on the numerical display. In 20 fow the numbers would be more like 14 fow and 18 fow respectively. Thanks.

    Just in case both previous replies fell through I would gladly take both lots or whatever is left off your hands. Jack

    WTB 12lb Torpedo and Sub Troll Probe You can't fix dumb! So I'm screwed. Looking for 12 lb torpedo rigger weight and a sub troll probe.

    I think that someone on the bay called the boat in to the USCG and they in turn tried to find someone in that area who could handle the call. I'm just guessing, but that is the feeling I got from the radio chatter. I did see the USCG on the bay when I was coming in on Saturday though. I'll bet their presence will be upped from now on for a while.

    I heard the USGC and Sheriffs talking back and forth on Friday when a 35-38 foot cabin cruiser ran the length of I-Bay full out. USCG was looking for a Sheriff in the area to go get him but the Sheriffs were out at Braddocks. Too bad, jackass needed a ticket.

    Josh, are you back at Sutters this year? I moved out 7 slips to get deeper water. Ha, seems like it worked!

    Road to Sutter's Marina on I-Bay was partially closed last weekend but you could still get through. You can launch your boat without fully leaving the road. Floating docks, so they are all above water. Its a long, slow ride to the lake. Best to just drop the riggers and fish your way out.

    I don't think they can actually "enforce" it unless a state of emergency has been declared. I heard the deputies at the marine unit on the river describe it as a request/recommendation for right now. Looking at the water though, Mayer's gas pump is in water etc, it seems like it should be enforceable.

    Get it out of your system now Larry before you get on the boat Sunday. I guess we'll just fish for browns.

    I've been using the regular unpainted stainless ones for a couple seasons, but never tried the black ones. They are 100% flat black.

    Chinook Divers Ordered some Chinook Divers last week. Last night someone from the company delivers them personally to my door with my shipping cost returned in cash in the bag. Now that's service! I got the black ones to try out. I don't know if anyone uses them or if they produce better results at times or not. Hopefully.

    Speaking of Sandy Creek, does anyone know of any other transient docking options for the Shootout? East Fork is full and I am not getting a reply to my message from Sleepy Hollow. I would be more than happy to pay a private owner for a couple days of dockage. I already have my vacation days reserved and I would hate to miss out this year. Thanks Jack

    I have a 96 240 hard top I bought 3 years ago. It was considered in good to very good condition. The transom was just replaced. 8hp kicker, with electronics, rocket launchers, trim tabs etc but only a 4.3 and it was surveyed at $16,500.00 by a local Rochester surveyor. I'm thinking a compression test on the engines would tell a lot about their condition.

    The company I work for does contract work at that plant. There's nothing like working in or near the "cake off" building on a summer day. Rather be working in the morgue coolers.

    Looks like Shipbuilders Creek.

    Thanks to both you guys. Sounds about like I expected/hoped. Now I have something to do this weekend. Four weeks to splash!

    Rotten Doghouse Repair The engine doghouse on my Thompson is completely rotted. I can push a metal rod down through the full length of the plywood like it is butter. Aside from just hogging out the rotten plywood and fitting another piece of plywood to be pushed down inside the fiberglass shell, is there anything I should know regarding adhesives, epoxies, sealants etc? What is the most effective way to repair? Thanks.

    Opinions on Penn Warfare Reels Has anyone tried the Penn Warfares out? I don't know how long these have been around, the first I heard of them was recently. Just looking for opinions from anyone who has used them. Thanks

    First weekend in April for me usually. That's when they swing the bridge at the mouth of I-Bay bay also.

    The county launch at I-Bay is $8.00 I think, but it is an absolute zoo from 11am on. The whole bay is for that matter. Always reminds me of that scene from Caddy Shack.
