    Ok. New cable it is.

    Slow down...no need to cut it yet. Disconnect the cable from the motor and move the motor by hand. If there is still a problem, it's the swivel bracket. If all is good there, pull out as much cable as you can and spray the housing, the shaft, and the cable with some good penetrating oil. (WD-40 is not a good penetrating oil) Have somebody work the wheel back and forth as you wipe up all the mess. Keep at it and it will free up. It is most likely all plugged up with dried up grease. There are lots of videos on youtube.

    Agreed...It does seem to be picking up. I do have to say the consistent 5-7lb fish is a concern. Not just near Roc, but it seems to be everywhere. JMO

    Took my daughter and her husband out for an evening troll. Ran 2 riggers] and 2 wire dipsy ff's. Fished 150-300 with good temp around 50. Marked some bait and a few fish but nothing happening. On the return, a wire diver 110 over 189 starts jumping. I gave it to my son in law while I cleared a rigger. Ended up losing the fish but it was nice to hear a drag again. Still, it is brutally slow out there.

    Ok...I've repaired a couple of them because of the rubber dry rotting. Snapping off is a different animal. Good Luck!

    Next to impossible to find. What is the problem with yours?

    It's not too bad. I use to work for LoadRite and occasionally had to repossess trailers for non payment. A floor jack is a definite requirement along with a lot of blocks. Cinder blocks help as well.

    Heating the board with a propane torch till it is glazed is another way to give an adhesive better grip.

    I personally feel the importance of having a VHF on board, let alone knowing how it use it correctly...kind of went out the window when they stopped issuing Radio Telephone Licenses with call signs. I still have mine laminated in my rig. I can't remember the last time I actually used the call sign. If I did, I bet the USCG would have no clue what I was saying.

    The OP asked a legitimate question and I thought Ski's reply was legitimate as well. Then the OP came back with some attitude. As far as not turning on the VHF in 5 years...I meant for only making inquiries concerning fishing or idle chit chat.

    And ...Olcott isn't Erie. I stopped turning on the VHF about 5 years ago.

    Keep in mind...This launch was redesigned and elevated because the the recent years of high water. Now the water is 2 ft lower than normal and you will have to back in much farther.

    Who manufactured the pump? I would start there.

    Another Garmin user. 93 UHD Sv Gt 54 transducer. Love the unit not thrilled with the transducer frequency for trolling.

    Oh, for sure! Rochester and the Genny was crazy then.

    Sounds like the old ESLO days.

    I've always been able to get by with finding speed by listening for the Downrigger cable hum and looking for bubbles off the cable.

    Back at it again today. Same area with more traffic and less action. Beauty of a day with flat water. Probably too flat! Decided around 11to troll back towards the Genny and call it a day when a rigger 40/100 fired. Picked up a dark brown looking like it was pre-spawn season with a hook jaw. Never seen one in the spring, before.
