    ^^^ Yup 1.8-2.0 seems to be the speed right now.  I knew we were going too slow the first time we made a turn and the outside planer board line immediately got a hit...

    A great first trip this year with my son/fishing partner, went 13 for 18- all browns except for 1 small coho.  Green/silver and black/gold stick baits were the biggest producers.  A few on the spoons, orange and wonder bread.  Been playing around with a GoPro and YouTube, here is the result, looks pretty cool from the planer mast angle.

    We have a camp in speculator, last year did the Indian lake tournament and had 42 tip ups out all day with no flags. Couldn’t even get a wind trip lol

    Nothing better than Adirondack ice fishing!  My son and I go every year for a week in February to my uncle's house and visit all the smaller lakes between Port Henry, Elizabethtown and Ticonderoga.  Some days we cant even sit in the hut the flags are going so fast...Nothing like it around Rochester...

    What a nightmare

    I can’t get her. Border closed to Americans. She may have to get a ride to border then walk across bridge. 

    I just read an article in Forbes posted earlier today that US citizens in Canada would be allowed to return home.  So she should be able to fly/take a bus/train.  See the second bullet.  Good luck!

    I will take a wild guess ,the boat was listed in 2018 ,we are now in 2020 ,probably sold a long time ago.  He also list his number and wrote to message/ text him. So maybe anyone looking should try that route. 

    Yup you're probably right...I did text him but the number is wrong so I guessed at the last digit, the one he posted has too many digits...Oh well time to look for another boat!

    Question about Winterizing

    in This Old Boat

    Sounds like maybe the antifreeze didn't make it through the entire system to me. I have a V8 and I know that it took more than 2 gallons (I wanna say it was between 3-4 gallons) when I ran antifreeze through it. I did mine winterization a little differently than you, I drained all the water out first. Then I ran antifreeze through the whole empty system until it started coming out the exhaust. I didn't want to run the risk of having a mix of anti-freeze and water in the system. Impeller is a routine maintenance item so it honestly can't hurt to replace it, but my guess is you just didn't use enough anti-freeze to circulate the whole system.

    I do it exactly like you do FF34...Drain all lake water out 1st then pull the manifold side hose and engine block side hose and fill until I see antifreeze coming out of the exhaust through the hub of the prop, and the brass plug hole on the side of the block and under the exh manifold..  This way I am sure that even if there's a little bit of water left in the block, its 95% antifreeze.  

     

    Wicked Walleye I have never trusted using muffs to fill my engine block and exh manifold with AF, because a boat moving through the water forces raw water up through the leg with much more pressure than sitting still with muffs on.  If I had to do it using antifreeze going up from the leg, I would definitely pull the thermostat as you did, but use a large bucket full of AF and run the prop in forward gear just above idle to stir up the AF.  I would  also fill from the top hoses into the exhaust manifold as a double check to make sure the system is full.
