Problems with my Outboard: Lost my high end rpms
chinook35 replied to badfish's topic in Open Lake Discussion
You need a shop manual !! I believe this motor has optical ignition system and is diagnosed with a laptop and a special program . You might want to check your shift interrupter switch , that will kill one bank of cylinders . Also ,did your engine get hot ? It has a sensor that limits rpm if engine gets too hot . Rev limiter may be bad etc. etc . Technology is great when it works .firgot to add you check timing advance with an automotive timing light while engine is running. Check manual for timing marks and specifications -

Check your timing advance. Sound a lot like an ignition spark advance issue. Probably built into the ignition module -

Slow (but beautiful) day for us . Got to launch at 5:30 AM ,only one boat in parking lot . Ran out to 150fow and set up cut bait and spoon program . Screen empty for the most part . A few hooks deep (LT ? ) .Temp down 120 -130 feet . had one knock off , bait chewed up pretty good ,but no one home . Decided Kings were still west ( should have known that before we left the launch ) . Moved in to 100 fow 60 degree down 80-90 ft . Put down all spoons and finally hooked a 5 lb brown . Then a nice steelie . pulled lines at noon and headed in . Spent a good deal of time trying to get a handle on Lowrance Hook 7X ,not a user friendly unit , but that's probably me . Great to be out there . Guess you never get over the fishing fever . -

Negative Recreational fishing is not considered "fishing" as in commercial fishing . Recreational fishermen are just that . And follow all the rules of any recreational boater . You must give way to a sailing vessel under sail . If they are under power ,they must follow the same rules as any power boat . The question that was put here was a sailboat overtaking a power boat . The rules state the sailboat is the give way boat and the fishing boat is the stand on vessel . The power (fishing ) vessel must maintain it's heading (course) so that the sailing vessel can pass to port or starboard . -

The "rules of the road " state : If a sailboat is overtaking a recreational power boat , the power boat is the stand on vessel and the sailboat is the give way boat . You were in the right to maintain your course , but the rules also state that all actions must be taken to avoid a collision . As stated , some people on the water have NO clue . -
Does Henderson Harbor boat launch have lights?
chinook35 replied to Todd in NY's topic in Open Lake Discussion
No lights -
Is it possible someoine replaced that hub at one time ? If you look at bearing buddy website ,you will find that there are different diameters for different brands of hubs . They list 1.781 " , 1.810 " and 1.980 " . You may need the 1.810 instead of the 1.781' . That's not a big difference in size ,but could account for your lost caps . If you have an inside micrometer you could measure the hub .

Been at war with these little b#$%^@'s for a long time . My fishing buddy killed 250 in one afternoon with a fly swatter . The ONLY repellent that I have found that works ( at least any that works AND is safe for humans ) is Buggspray . The biting fly formula . I did a little research and found that they are stable flies . How they get 15 miles off shore is another question . www.buggspray.com

Had to replace my Alpha 1 gen II 4 years ago due to a rock and fog . Bought SEI and was never sorry .

You will see this on Lake O all the time . One of my pet peeves . A guy that is running a boat that is 300 ft wide and 900 ft long (planer boards and long lines ) is asking a bit much and I have no intention of giving any one that much clearance .

Gambler , I agree that the perch fishing late has been good . My point is that the fishery is changing drastically . We could go to several spots in Henderson Harbor and fill the boat with jack perch starting in August . No more . The fishing has started later and later . Is it because of Gobies ? I don't know . But I wish someone could come up with an answer .

I have found ,after 40 years of fishing Lake O ,that weather , wind and wave height predictions are sketchy at best . What you see is what you get . I have seen NOAA forecasts of 1-3 wave height ,only to get to the lake and find easy 3-5 's . and on the other hand I have seen really scary forecasts and the lake is nearly flat . Unless the wind is blowing hard when I get up ,I head to the dock . If it's bad , I head for the diner and wait it out or head back home .

I saw a post that stated the author was going to treat Lake O Lake trout like round gobies and lampreys . I think I can get behind that idea

I use a cedar plank to grill the oil cans . Then I throw the fish away and eat the plank . When all there is left to catch on Lake O ,is LT . I'm hanging up my fishing equipment .
