I have them all around my boat and haven't had that issue. I'm also not using it a lot, unfortunately, but this does worry me. The only issue I had was a used one from Amazon warehouse- there's a single screw holding the whole top pivoting to the bottom. That was loose but fixed with loctite
There does not look to be much material in that area
-
That sucks, sorry to hear that. Some people are just ****ty.
Glad you got out and got some fish at least

Ended up 4/5. Lost a pretty good size one on a spoon and picked up another few small salmon on flasher / fly. Most of the action was very high up as it was icy down only 25 feet in most places
I really appreciate all the tips from everyone. Best part of the day was my son asking to go fishing again! Now that's a successful trip

Been a couple of years since I have been out on Ontario and taking my 8 year old with me this time. Any tips on where to start (targeting salmon, steelhead or even lakers just to get some action)?
I'll update here after the trip tomorrow

Sounds like wonderbread was the color of the day!
-
Iirc temp was around 47 down 90ish
Agree on the fleas, had to clean them off every half hour or less
-
-
Finished 3 for 3 all rainbows. Last came on wonder bread 75 down over 120.
Flys were super annoying today. Also saw a crazy kayaker this morning out about a mile and a half from shore. It was calm but I wouldn't have the balls for that
-
Screens blank all day. Headed to 280 and saw nothing but fleas and flys. Going back shallower
-
Couple of 7 lb steelhead over 130 and 180 so far. White and black flasher fly and rainbow spoon took them. 300 copper and downrigger down 60 respectively

Yes its a 2013 1875. great boat can be a bit small when the winds blow up on the big water.
Looked familiar 😊. I have a 2015 1875. Agree on the size, it's a little hairy when the lake starts getting white tips. The stern is a little too low

8lb Laker 70 over 120

I /think/ runnings in Canandaigua has bait. They used to anyway
-
I've been thinking about going out there rather than all the way over to Sandy Creek (I'm on the east side) --is the launch the one by sea breeze?
-
Braddock's is paid, right? Eg they don't accept empire pass?
There's Westpoint Marine there but the dec indicated a boat launch too

I've had this for a couple of years and like it quite a bit, especially at the price:

It's hauled up a 20+ lb laker without issue. I did modify the portion that attaches to the handle to make a stronger connection though. The stock system used screws instead of through bolts with nuts
-
Agreed. Since I don't live near the lake but was up there tonight for other reasons I scouted the Braddock's area:
The state launch on the East side as well as the pay per launch Manitou beach Marina on the west side both open
-
Do you have a multimeter? See if there's any voltage on those wires. Also check to see what they run back to, I would be cautious with open wires just lying in the boat..
One other thing to check - does your motor still have an anode on it and is it in good shape? Might be worth replacing w/ a new zinc anode
-
Where on the boat is it? Lund had had issues with electrolysis on the transom which appears as bubbling paint. I guess under some circumstances the treated wood in the transom reacts with the aluminum. Not sure if alumnacraft had that issue but thought I'd mention it
