NYS Governor trying to dismantle the DEC ECO’s
1lastweekend replied to Gill-T's topic in Open Lake Discussion
My son just got a job as a seasonal assistant NYS Forest Ranger for the summer. He is set to graduate from the SUNY ESF Ranger school with a degree in En Con next month. I know he is interested in becoming a full time NYS Forest Ranger, and from what I have read these positions are sworn officers and take a 6 month NYS academy training that combines law enforcement training with en con training. Are these positions also part of the PBA union, or is this something different? I thought I saw above where someone said they were, but I get the forest ranger position confused with the game warden... -

Sold / Closed Looking for a 1 person flipover ice fishing shanty
1lastweekend posted a topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Looking to buy a 1 person flipover ice fishing shanty like any of the pics I attached. I live in Rochester NY but I am willing to travel. My son/fishing partner is away at college so looking to do more solo ice fishing this season. Send me a PM or email me at [email protected] if you're selling one. Thanks! -
This is a great thread, lots of ideas here....I only get about 3-4 amps of output off my Tohatsu kicker charging circuit at 2500-3000RPMs so I have kept it limited to charging my starting and electronics battery while I'm trolling. I have a bow mounted PowerDrive with iPilot for steering, and my thought was to try a 50watt solar panel and a spare charge controller I have lying around to see how much that might extend the run time of the group 29 deep cycle SLA I use for the TM. Has anyone tried this setup? My boat is not very big, so I don't have much room for a larger solar panel.

RayMarine ST1000+ tiller pilot autopilot with wired remote and all accessories needed to install. I have bench-tested the autopilot and the remote connected to it, both work as they should. Also included is the D162 socket to connect the wired remote to the autopilot, and all hardware to install the autopilot. Asking $400 for all. I spent about 2 months trying to rig this up to the steering yoke of my Mercruiser I/O sterndrive, but it just wouldn't turn the leg and the kicker together without disconnecting the steering cable on the I/O. So I went with a MinnKota TM with iPilot instead. If you have an outboard-to-outboard setup, or even just 1 outboard you use for both trolling and cruising, this would be a good AP option. I have attached links to some YouTube videos of people using this as an AP, and the simplicity and accuracy are really appealing. There's also some members here on LOU that have used this setup and seem to like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUIvemr6Kj0&t=7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gXet_WiHyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=033lZV8tM1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AE7OWfPln4

I did compression test, it was only reading 50 psi. So before I started to tear the motor down I looked down the spark plug hole with a camera I had bought from HF. No scoring on the cylinder, no hole in the piston and no metal chunks in the engine or oil...So I started to think a valve issue was to blame. I ran a can of seafoam diluted in 2 gal of gas through the motor, and within 5 minutes it started to run a lot better. I let it run for about 45 mins on the seafoam mix, and it was able to run through the RPM range and in forward and reverse. I thought I had the problem fixed, but then out on the lake the other day it would run for 2-3 mins and then quit. One thing I didnt do is change the spark plug, I will try that today. I do have an inline spark checker and the spark from the coil looks very strong, but I never though to change the plug. If thats it Frogger I owe you a 6 pack of your favorite beer LOL! -
That is correct, there's a difference between a PowerDrive with iPilot and a Terrova or Ulterra with iPilot Link. With the Link version you can have the TM follow courses and go to waypoints if you have a Humminbird FF thats compatible with iPilot Link. It can even be set up to follow a depth setting/contour line on the Humminbird! Whereas my PowerDrive, I get spot lock and autopilot, which keeps me on a heading and compensates for wind, waves, etc. There's a cheaper add on to a PowerDrive called Copilot which basically gives you Left/Right steering and I think speed control, but I have lost my fishing partner to college this year so I needed the autopilot to be able to hold a course while I set up. Big price difference between the 3 options too...
