  1. The EZ Steer is nice and cheaper than most others. BUT I have yet to be able to tilt the kicker up when you want to come in, without the rod binding so the kicker won't come to the lock position without removing the steer rod. I have an I/O. and a swimplatform.
  2. Wow just did a search, never even heard of such a reel!! It amazes me as a parent the length we will go to get our kids out there with us. Congrats to you as a fathers stand point I see why it would aid him!!
  3. Man I wish that unit was on the east coast, I have one that won't trim down motor runs. 1/2 the money to fix according to cmc. Worked sweet. That's a very good buy. If you don't see any $$$ in a few days I'll take it no questions asked and pay shipping!!!!
  4. When it was stored, was the motor kept dry or was there some sort of antifreeze in the block??
  5. Fishing with your kids builds a special bond between you and your children. That the best therapy there is for parent/children!! My daughters are still talking about our trip this summer. So nice to see a young man interested in the outdoors!! Enjoy every moment as they grow up fast. Thanks for sharing and get out as often as possible, like mentioned above!! Good job Dad!!
  6. The main engine components such as gaskets and stuff I used Felpro marine kits and bearings I use Clevite bearings for the rods and crank. Use the best machinist you know to have the heads, block, crank and rods done. Have him install the cam bearings. I ordered the exact same goodies as far as oil pump water pump timing chain & gears also important to match the camshaft so lift and duration is the same. Good luck.
  7. What's the one lump sum?? How about a few pics of everything.
  8. Might be cheaper, but did you check on shipping back to China not "if" but when you have a failure of such.
  9. Not till just before and after the ice forms. Stick with the above thoughts and you'll be good to go. Fall you can turn up the wick a little, 2.0 2.3 at the ball should be a good speed. If nothing and fish Didn't react to your presentation. Back'er down to 1.5--1.9. Let the fish tell ya what they want. This can be accomplished also with long sweeping turns to the left or right and take notice which lines are getting bit. Outside lines on your turns are the faster speeds and naturally the inside lines would de the slower lines!! Hope this helps ya out a little anyway!!!
  10. My Father in law has/had pulling tractors, they have no charging systems. So after a few pulls the ignition system and the fans to cool the motors drain the batteries to a point the won't start especially if they are hot. So he bought a small generator. This one is very light and puts out like 600-750 surge and there quiet. These units are 2 stroke motors. It worked really nice.
  11. I read in a article this year was one of the best years on record for fishing on LakeO??
  12. What model are they?? Mag10's-20's
  13. Nice job men!! Great to hear a father taking the advice of the son!! Don't hear that often.
  14. Is that mc rocket one of those down the shute things that looks like a Orange/Red looking like a icecream cone!! LOL. I was wondering how do you achieve different depths with this???
  15. Hell ya you'll have lots of uses for that unit!! Nice and congrats to your new buggy!!
  16. I just read that the time has come to either elect or appoint a new person who will be under Trumps thumb to be in with the Canadian Gov't about the newer water heights. It sounded like this new water height ordeal will be one of the top priorities. I'm not that well versed in the political end of things, but it sounded like the homeowners didn't want this lady appointed because the water level ordeal is what she is in favor for. It was a world news event. I can't say anymore as this is what my pea brain picked up on.
  17. XX2 Awesome guys to deal with turn around time is great also. The lures in the pics are just a few they've done for me. Not the best pics, that's what I had on my phone. New PB smallmouth any guesses on weight ?
  18. Definitely go with what we call a meat rig, whether it's a worm harness or a minnow harness they want to eat this time of the year. I troll spoons but always run a scent on a spoon a super slim, or a spoon size up to a size NK28 stay on the bigger size. Scatter rap has come out with a bigger bill for deeper approaches along with their erratic left and right action, my go to lure for eye is the Berkley Flicker Minnow in sizes 7-9. I fish the northeastern part of the lake so that's what works rather well for up here, I might add we use the inline yellow OffShore boards. 1.8-2.3mph at the ball. Some days slower but not often faster. Usually start out at 1.5 mph and do long easy right to left turns and hopefully pick one up on the faster side then bump the speed up to 1.8 and continue the long sweeping turns. The turns are programmed into my kickers auto steer, which is a sweet thing. Good luck guys for me this is the best time of the year for me.
  19. I would look into Adventure Marine swimplatform brackets. They give you all the dimensions. You get what I'm saying. I personally would not hang my kicker on two pieces of steel and a 2x8 in between them. Your relying on the screws holding the 2x8 to the bracket.
  20. I run a 15hp Merc. If it won't hold course with the python auto steer which has the fastest full left to right swing which I can boost throttle to correct then I'm pulling rods and headed to a more fishable situation or calling it a day. After the last 2 year's of people passing due to inclement weather there is no fish worth someone's life or mine. This is JMO. As you get older different things seem to be more important in life as when I was younger.
