Could a couple sheets of plywood between the boat & shed protect the boat until the shed can be removed? You'll probably want to do something like that anyway sooner or later during the removal process.
Sorry for your delemma.
You know guys,.........arguing with *** **** is like wrestling with a pig in the mud,.....sooner or later you’ll understand that he likes it.
EDIT: cmon stinger, no personal attacks please
Tro.........I have a `02 Sea Ranger 19HT and went through all that hassle of trial & error with new linkage for the main engine, kickers/mounts of various types. We should probably do most of this over the phone seen as there is a lot to talk about because of the unique transom design of the Arima.
PM me your phone # and we’ll talk over the weekend.
This is my present setup with a Troll Master throttle control and this power bracket...> http://www.jrmarineproducts.com/
.........be prepared to spend some money.
Great topic started here tbromund. Maybe we'll all learn something from this one.
I have the Furuno FCV-620 and it will do the same thing from time to time. Not often, say a couple times a season. I think the lock on rigger balls or dense bait balls is probably more to do with the GAIN in the automatic mode than a messed up unit.
If it happens on a bait ball with my unit no big deal. The unit will reset as soon as the boat is past the bait ball. If my unit locks on the rigger ball and doesn't reset in a minute or two I just raise that ball up till the unit resets and locks on the bottom again. Usually resets and locks on bottom before the ball is all the way up.
Mine doesn't do it enough for me to even bother changing anything. I like the way it tracks and clearing the problem doesn't take much so I'll leave well enough alone.
It will be interesting to hear what the manufactures have to say about that phenomena. There are a few of us interested in what is really going on it seams to be common with several different brand units so if any of you guys happen to get any feedback from the manufactures please report back with what they have to say about it.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Maybe you can scab one together.
A garden hose with small cuts in it, air compressor and a timer that will cycle it on & off.
That's all the bubbler at T-Falls launch is. It keeps the water open from the boat ramp all the way to the bridge. They tie bricks to it to hold it down on the bottom.

What MCF said. Mine (Big Jon's) have been stored in a unheated barn every winter. Two since 1993 and two more added to the lot in 2002,..........they still work fine.
Google up golden shiner and see if that is what it looked like.

After reading this post I thought that I'd share these pics with you. These bass were caught trolling for trout around Aurora/Long Point in September a few years back. They migrate out from the shore line and are suspended usually over 60'-100' bottom. No dinks and they hit spoons & flies.
This weekend could be a bonus for your cooler.

I kept going through the same area and picked up this nice batch.

You'll have dodger days and you'll have flasher days. Same as spoon days & fly days.
All tools that should be in your arsenal.......but definitely not limited to.
