I do not know of any walleye stocking in Lake O. Canadian side , Getthenet2 : The Ont. MNR stocked walleye in the cesspool of Hamilton harbour [ hopelessly polluted by the steel industry ] . They showed us fish caught ice fishing in the harbour last year at the MNR seminar . One of the attendees asked the MNR would they eat ? Answer " maybe a small one " ! sic ! I told the MNR I go back 60 YEARS fishing wallies in Welland canal and the Niagara River with a very good sport fishery ; poaching ,over harvesting ? by commercial operators plus change of habitant destroyed it! I suggested that the freighters coming down the Welland canal could carry wallies from lake Erie in livewells and release them in Port Weller [ never give a bureaucrat a good idea ! ] Walleye is a warm water fishery ; it does not complete with the salmon fishery ! The walleye is an omnivore [ will eat anything and is caniballistic ie will eat each over in rearing ponds ] The fishery can be from shore unlike the big dollar salmon fishery , allowing the less fortunate among us to enjoy the resource

Not sure of your post ? #1 is a tranny cooler + a tranny cooler gauge ! At max towing cap your issue is the transmission ! #2 Engine temp ! May need a bigger rad ! #3 Opening doors ? I like to park easy and walk !

You have to go out to the " blue zone " 300 + fow and start at ~ 100 ft.dn. and come up in 20 ft. levels till 50 ft dn then change lures : Spoons are the easiest to use and colour rules ! You will get more information on "SPOONPULLERS" site for your area !

Invest in a kicker ! depending on hours on the water fuel savings will pay for it along with an added safety factor !

Start by going on a charter !

Post on SPOONPULLERS ; Canadian site .

My question is why did the Yamaha 25 hp. 4 stroke overheat ?

Good topic : May depend on the area you fish , from Port Dalhousie to Port Weller ORIGINAL NK 28s in Black/purple tape silver or white back then mix and match colours !

I use large ZipLoc bags for each setup !

East is least !

Glad it was a simple fix ! It appears you diagnosed the problem ! I forgot to mention a blocked exhaust on a 2cycle engine which burns oil with gas ; may still be a plan on an old engine ie drop the lower unit an view the exhaust ports carbon buildup can be readily visible and easily removed ! Also I would change the impeller [ water pump] if it has not been done to avoid overheating the engine.

# 1 Check compression with tester that screws into the block ie no hose ! #2 Rebuild the carbs #3 Clean all electrical contacts Let us know the result

Thanks for post. A definite maybe ; I launch from Port Weller and have been on Lake O. since 1984 . Send a PM .
