Twill tips for copper
mudflat replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Not needed for copper just for your 7 strand wire lines, copper is soft enough it won't damage the tip. Actually could cause a problem by cutting your backing on any sharp edges at the tip of the coil on the Twili -
Out Not only keeps your motor cleaner it also reduces the possibility of electrolysis and corrosion

I know that with the Gen3's your standard transducer needs to be connected to the 7 pin port and the "structure" 9 pin port is just for structure scan whereas the Carbon units will support 2 transducers and you can use either or both ports. My B60 is a few years old and has a 7 pin connector that plugs right into the transducer port I also have an Airmar TM150 transducer that has a 9 pin connector and I needed this adapter cord for my Gen3: https://www.hodgesmarine.com/Lowrance-Adapter-Cable-9-Pin-Black-To-7-Pin-Blue-p/low000-12571-001.htm I don't know for sure if this will work with your B60 or not but would think that it should. Might want to give Airmar or Lowrance a call

Trollmaster II: wire to throttle servo extension
mudflat replied to chowder's topic in This Old Boat
Trollmaster sells a 10' extension cable: http://www.marinetechproducts.com/shop-for-parts#!/TrollMaster-PRO3PLUS-Extension-Servo-Cord-10-ft/p/101215002/category=8617492 It looks like it's just 2 conductors, probably could just cut and splice in a section but I've never done it? -
Andy The problem is probably in the way your "Settings" are configured. The Gen3's have so many capabilities built into them that they need to be configured to your installation to work. It's most likely a little box that needs to be checked or turned on. Look at "Settings / Sonar" and check to see if "Internal Sonar" is ON and Network Sonar is OFF then check Settings/Network/Data sources.../Sonar/Depth and mark "Sonar(This Device)" You could also look at Settings/System/Advanced.../Features and make sure Sonar is ON Hope this helps Edit: Also make sure that "Stop Sonar" on your sonar page is not selected

Following quote from LOC Rules and Regulations: http://www.loc.org/RULES_AND_REGULATIONS.html 18. Is entitled to only one division cash prize. No participant may win more than one of the division prizes, although contestants may enter more than one fish. If the succeeding fish is larger, the smaller of the fish with least weight will be withdrawn. Only Salmon are eligible for the Grand Prize. Maybe the laker is in because it is the "larger fish" ?

That should be a great time for salmon out of either of those ports but it will probably also be during our peak flea season We combat the fleas by using wire instead of braid on our divers and go up to 30# mono on our riggers. The past couple years I've been using Blood Run's Sea Flee line and it has really helped. I hate fleas and they can get really bad at times. I fish out of Arney's in Sodus and there's usually a lot of chatter on vhf channel 9 on the weekends except during the ProAm. Watch the reports on here to get some ideas on where to start.

I just checked Navionics Web app and it has full contours for Cowanesque so I know I could download to my Navionics + card and view it on my HDS Here's a link to the web app, not sure if it will work or not https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#boating@13&key=kzf_Ghm}uM Edit: The outline is all that shows from the above link, looks like you need to have Navionics Chart viewer installed to see the contour lines

Installing a Yamaha kicker - couple quick questions
mudflat replied to vetting's topic in This Old Boat
I have the same setup with a 5.7 L and a T9.9 Used the extra outlet on my fuel filter and have had no problems. I did install a valve at the filter for the kicker but have used it only for servicing the filter. The primer bulb has a check valve in it and should be installed near the kicker. You should use USCG A1-E15 fuel line inside the motor compartment from the filter to the primer bulb. The fuel line that comes with the bulb is probably not rated for inside the motor compartment Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
I went with a TR1 Gold for my kicker because: 1- My PY has power assisted cable steering - If main is not running there is no power steering 2- Not enough room behind helm to install rotary cable drive unit 3- Did not want to listen to a rotary drive unit all day and had concerns about it's durability over time 4- Did not intend to use AP on main motor - just for trolling 5- Best alternative option was to convert steering to hydraulic and install a hydraulic AP on main and use an EZ steer to connect kicker - higher overall cost I've been very happy with the TR1 and believe it is why I can get away with a T9.9 kicker motor on a 25' boat. It is extremely reactive and helps the kicker hold it's course in some challenging conditions - wind, waves, currents. It is quiet and so far ,5 years, no problems. If the conditions get too rough for the kicker alone I just start up the main motor, drop in a couple trolling bags and still use the kicker and TR1 to steer and fine tune my speed. If my PY already had hydraulic steering I probably would have gone with a hydraulic AP on the main motor Hope this helps

On my Penn Yan there was more room inside the transom for a backing plate on the port side since the power steering, trim motor, fuse box and the electrical switch were mounted on the starboard side. Whichever side you mount it on try to keep it as close to the center line as possible without interfering with your I/O

Mercruiser alpha one gen 1 our drive
mudflat replied to poverty stricken II's topic in This Old Boat
Try SEI - all their drives come with a 3 yr no-fault warranty I know a charter captain who put a new one on his boat and forgot to put gear oil in, drive lasted 10 hours without oil and SEI still replaced it. https://www.sterndrive.cc/Alpha-One-Gen-I.html -
Try Arney’s There is a small fee or you can launch at the public launch just up the road for free Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Arney’s and Sodus Bay Marina docks are in Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Either of those launches will work great for your boat, I would not want to launch a 25 footer at Selkirk. Nice thing about Oswego is that if the lake is too rough you can always fish for brown's in the harbor this time of year. Also has rest rooms and a nice cleaning station right there, if it's open this time of year.

x400 fish (70kHz) and P66 (50kHz/200kHz) interference?
mudflat replied to Netbender's topic in This Old Boat
I am assuming that when you refer to a x400 you really mean a Fish Hawk X4 or X4D ? I run an Airmar B60 50/200, which is the thru hull version of the P66, and a X4 together on my boat and have never seen any interference between them. I'm usually running both 50 and 200 kHz on a split screen. I also have a Lowrance 83/200kHz transducer that is mounted only 5" away from the Fish Hawk and I will occasionally run it at 83kHz with no problems. I will see cross talk interference on my HDS units if I run both transducers at 200khz together but still not have any problems with the Fish Hawk. I do have the Fish Hawk transducer mounted higher on the transom than the 83/200 so that it is a little above the bottom of the boat and it is not causing turbulence when I'm on plane -
If it's from NOAA - double it If it's from a fisherman's report - cut it in half
