Thanks I sent you a reply

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!

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

Also as an FYI to all, I did call Pugsleys in Ontario as they are right down the road from me, and they only service Johnson/Evinrude and Mercury/Mercruiser at their shop. They might have mentioned they also service one of the Japanese brands, but it wasnt Nissan/Tohatsu...

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!

I have a 2012 Tohatsu 6hp 4 stroke kicker that is in need of some attention. It only wants to run for a minute or two before stalling out. It is hard to start and seems to have that "lean sneeze" backfire/smoke through the air intake when it stalls. I have gone through a bunch of steps in trying to fix the issue, including: - soak carb in cleaner overnight, disassemble and clean out all jets and passageways with compressed air - check oil level in crankcase(it was fine) - replace fuel pump - try running on both a remote 6 gallon tank and the fuel line connected to the main tank of the boat(yes with 1-way check valve, etc) - replaced female fuel connector on both 6 gal and main tank lines - run motor in test tank with a can of Seafoam mixed in 3 gallons of gas. This definitely seemed to help, I actually thought I had it fixed, but I took it out on the lake for a test run and it was doing the same thing... So now I am looking for a place local to Rochester where I can have an outboard mechanic take a look at it. TIA!

I just sent you a PM.

Another beautiful Sunday, fishing with my son on Father's Day. Went 7 for 11 this morning, all kings, mostly on the Mountain Dew spin doctor and green fly off the dipsey diver. About 75-80 ft down, but over much deeper water than last week. We caught all our fish between 225 and 400 FOW today, mostly north/south troll between Webster Park and Hedges. Did pick up a couple of good eaters on the wonder bread and ladder back mixed veggie NK28 spoons off the downriggers, but all 3 of our 10+ pounders were on the dipseys. We're not doing too bad for not running any copper or meat rigs! Lake is warming up, and the fleas are out now...The fish seemed to like it faster today, 2.8 at the ball was the speed to be at...

Thanks! That's really nice to hear! He is definitely the reason we are successful on the lake! I just drive the boat LOL!!

Nice that you were getting hits in the shallower water, we couldn't buy a bite until 140-150. I usually run NK28's, but I have a few stingers as well...Got the laker on a spin doctor fly rig, the gamblers and cowbells with peanuts don't come out for us until we've been skunked for 4 hrs plus LOL...

Beautiful morning, overcast with a nice breeze. Went northeast 80' to 200', then on a general north/south troll, never got much farther east than Hedges...Went 6 for 8 including a nice 20lb+ king with a whole family of lamprey hanging on, and a nice Coho that came home with us! We had a hot hour after the rain moved through, was slow before and after that. The rigger bite was the best, with a fish on all 4 of our rigger lines. 2 on carbon black, 1 on wonder bread and 1 on mixed veggies. The other 2 were on spin doctor/flies off the dipseys at 75 ft down. Mostly green patterns. There's a ton of fish showing at about 100' but they were not biting for us...All our hits and fish were between 140 and 200 FOW.
