11 fenders free. I just need to get rid of them. All I ask is you take them all. I'll message back in the order I get them. (if I get any messages) Must pick up in Penfield NY.

I have a used Michigan prop 031026 13 3/4 x 21. Doesn't fit the boat I have now. It's used but in good condition. It comes with a storage case and prop wrench if wanted. Good used prop as a spare. $50 Pick up in Penfield NY Message if interested.

We set up around 150' just east of I-Bay and found temp about 100 down. Fished most of the day between 160 and 200 feet of water. Went 11 for 12. The biggest was about 19lb. A mix of Salmon, 2 lakers, and a brown. Downriggers, sliders and divers all took fish The best lure was the Raspberry Carbon 14.

We found the same thing off I-bay. set up in 150 and trolled out to 500'. Never found water colder than 70 degrees from the surface down to 125'. Screen was blank most of the day.

I did grease the hub and spring. I also greased the worm gear and all the brass parts that had any contact with moving parts. I wish I knew which parts were binding.

Tried the Copaslip today. Unfortunately, it didn't help the binding at all, but my Grandson did learn a few new words while I was trying to get that spring back in!!!

Thanks for the info. I found this on Amazon. Does this look like the same stuff? https://www.amazon.com/COPASLIP-High-Temperature-Anti-Seize-Compound-100g/dp/B00AFTGN0M I’ll just have to figure out how to take it apart.

That,s great!! Where did you get the Copperslip? is it a spray or solid? I'll try anything at this point. Did you take the spring right out of the unit or just take the cover off and put it on?

Sorry, these were sold. I should have marked them sold

I caught a tagged Atlantic last year off Rochester. Called the number on the tag and it was a Canadian number. The fish was tagged and released from Toronto the previous year.

outback kennels 2, What did you use to grease the unit? I figured I would give it a try. The unit is no good like it is so I have nothing to lose.

I pulled the safety pin today; sure enough, the steering works fine. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'll probably try to take it off and lubricate it. If that doesn't work what is involved in replacing it with an Octopus drive unit? What can I expect as far as cost?

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Interesting thread. I bought a Penn Yan last year with the same auto pilot. The steering is really hard but never thought about that being the problem. Do I need to take the whole unit off the steering column to see if that is the issue or can I just disengage it somehow? I don't have any experience with this unit.

I agree. I saw no temp difference. I did try fishing the outside of it for a while but didn't see anything so headed back out. We went 2 for 6 with a decent mid-teen King and a steelhead.

I saw the same thing yesterday off I-Bay. I didn't see it on my way out but went through it trolling south a couple of hours later. I turned to head back north to get out of it and watched the temp. I had my probe at 65' and I didn't see any temp difference on the probe or the surface when I came out of it. I did have to pull all six rods and clean the grass off the line, cables, wire, and lead core. They were loaded!!!

Fished I-Bay yesterday but a little deeper. I went 6 for 9 from 180 to 250 feet. Most fish were between 40 and 60 down with NBK stinger taking the most hits. Lost 2 decent kings when they took a run and wrapped around the dipsey wire near the boat. Luckily, I didn't lose any tackle. Fleas are getting pretty bad.

I've been using Natrapel. It also has 20% Picaridin and works great and much better than the products that contain Deet I've tried. The only drawback is it is pretty greasy. I see the Sawyer says it's non-greasy. If that's true, I would definitely give it a try.

Started fishing about 7:30 in 100 feet slightly east of the bay and headed north. Temp was mid 40s 50 feet down. We ended the day at 12:00 going 5 for 8. Mixed Veggie Michigan Stinger took 2 fish on a slider with the rigger set at 75'. Michigan Stinger NBk on a slider took 1 fish with the rigger at 80' and a Moonshine Cobalt Carbon took 2 fish off a 10 color leadcore. All fish came between 200 and 300 feet of water. We did mark lots of bait inside of 80' feet on the way in but no takers.

Is that a Sub Troll probe? If so, is it compatible with the Depth Raider?
