Fishstix

Does Abes have it now? Im heading up today. My biggest salmon have all come on cutbait and I never ran it last year....

Good job. We been doin a few on green. No biggies yet.

I cant tell you why it was beeping. But I do know that the allen screws that hold the brass steering wheel stud to the clutch unit are metric. So if you want to tighten things up a little you need a metric allen set.... I dont know if all the units were metric ,but mine was. To get into this a little more I had the same problem with the motor running but not turning the wheel. It turned out to be the gear slipping on the end of the motor shaft. I think if you archive on this site you can find the pictures or they may have gotten lost when the last site went down... I put a small setscrew in the motorgear It was originally held on with a metal clip. worked a year or so then the belt went bad. I no longer own a sport pilot plus.

Yankee if you absolutely positively cant get anyone. Let me know. I know how much time and effort you put into these and I hate to see you hanging. I dont know the area. Probably cant get a place to stay etc. .... But I always help a brother out. Fishstix 607 659 5912 Is it this weekend?

After watching the DEC dump 9,000 domestic rainbows in at Hughes last week 10" to 12" in length. Rainbows must be 21" to keep in Lake Ontario. BTW The trucks were from Caledonia hatchery.

Thanks LOU... I bought just a transducer, Thanks Polarbear but I already have a extra control box ,and a extra probe.

Nice report... Bet it sure was nice to have a rigger take off screaming. Over our way its been 99% surface action . Quality bows ,occasional king in the top 30FOW...... Flat water,overcast,perfict temp.fishbiteing,Life could not be better!!!!

My hull mouniting bracket broke . My transducer quit showing me surface speed last year. Temp is still working fine. If Im going to pull the boat to fix the bracket I might as well change the transducer. There has to be a few 840 transducers with mounting brackets out there. I would like to get one this week....

A few were caught in that area last weekend. Heading up today ,Fishstix....CH68... White-n blue Arima Fishin out of Hughes

Im probably answering something I dont really know enough about. But I think you need the fluxgate compas to tell the GPS or autopilot what direction the boats going in . Or if the boats off course. I have the Simrad and most of the time I just point it in the direction I want to go . Your GPS unit probably has a GO TO button to tell the autopilot to go to a certain waypoint. Hope this helps,maybe someone can clarify this better. Hey Mackerel

Coup, You know where we are. Mackerel and I both have them. Ill be up most all the time .

Thanks for the report. A few were caught over our way last week. hopefully the wind will blow a few more our way.

Ran the boat probably 15 times since installation.[around 60hrs] Still have not done the circle calibration I dont need to. Handels the boat in wind gusts that you could not keep your hat on . handels 3 to 4rs no problem. Its quiet and Im very pleased with the unit. 1/2 day installation or less depending on changeing the steering cable.

Nice fish < Ready for a 10 day sweat?

Still for sale Lots of lookers..

I bought a GPS [lowrance} New on Ebay...... Thanks for the responces..

Yea Mackerel .Order one up. I left you a voicemail..

I responded to a couple people that emailed me about a GPS. Ive never heard back.Is my Email not working? Im still looking for a GPS....

Looking for a good quality color GPS.For a boat. A complete unit in the box would be the best. Must have nema for autopilot. All antennas and cables must be included. Something used and not abused...

May see you out there .We run 68 in our neck of the woods. Ive been up working on docks,not fishing. But nothings stopping me from bringing my boat up.

1988 shorelander trailer 2003 HONDA 4 STROKE 135 hp/w140 hrs Nice boat Ive fished out of it. Full Canvas T Top... Im posting this for a friend. $9,650 {the motor was more than that....] Can be viewed at Arneys .315 483 9111

Sportpilot is SOLD thanks to all that responded.

Complete steering gear helm unit. With 18 ft cable that was fitted to a Yamaha 115. It is a rack type unit with antifeedback. I dont think you could shorten or lengthen the cable.Its sealed on each end. This unit was on my 21ft. Arima. I had to change it out to rotary steering to acomodate a simrad autopilot. The "rack" steering was great you have no feedback to the steeringwheel from engine torque. Easy Installation drill a 3in center hole and 3 3/8ths mounting holes and bolt this unit to your console. I reused my steering wheel so you will need one but I think they are standard size. $250.00 email questions [email protected]

Ive got a complete sportpilot for sale.I took it apart to change belt and never found a belt. The magniflux compass is included . There is a splice in the compas cable about five feet from the compas {done with jell connectors].This unit was working but the belt was slipping when I took it apart. So Im selling it in a box as parts. As is .$150.00 or BO.Plus shipping. I am located in Tioga Co .NYS . I fish the Sodus point area .I can bring it up to this area. [email protected]
