  1. Can't speak to the Oswego area but the techniques are the same. Sticks and light spoons work best for Browns.Troll flatlines at the minimum and use big boards or inlines to increase your coverage. Also no need to wait till May/June. It can be productive as early as April depending on location and weather.
  2. Agree and disagree! Waiting for the hubs to cool down before entering the water is an excellent practice for the reasons you mentioned. Not many people know that or they are just in too much of a hurry to care. Greasing as often as you do is not the same as a physical inspection every year preferably in the fall. This eliminates any water in the hub from freezing during winter storage. I know you are being careful not to over grease but most are not. You recognize these folks by the amount of grease splattered on the wheel, or worse... underneath the hull from the rear seal leaking...or worse than that...a seized brake hub from grease leaking past the rear seal onto the shoes creating all kinds of fun! 19 years on the same bearings👍 is probably due to the quality of the bearing made 20 years ago vs. those used today.
  3. Don't really understand all the neg comments. I went out tonight and took a look..A very large inventory and selection of product just as the OP described. Way too much to list separately. Maybe in a perfect world...but that certainly isn't the case today, as we all know. 90% of what I saw were new items in original packaging and fairly priced. Not Flea Market prices but certainly fair and less than retail. It was worth my time to save a few bucks and good conversation. Highly Recommend!
  4. Im in Rochester as well. Im interested in everything you have for parts, depending on what is interchangeable. Shawn
  5. Looking for either complete 4ft booms or extension pieces for Walker Electrics. If you have something, let me know.

  7. The only issue I had was that they were taken while the boat was stored. Now, everything removable comes in.
  8. Looking for 36" or (2) 18" Traxstech Track. Thanks in advance!
  9. On board charging for convenience only. Another batt if you go 24v TM. Separate breakers for the DR's to cranking battery I like a main fuse or breaker between fuse block and battery. Convenient when working on the electrical.
  10. Delete
  11. Just a thought...You could go with the 6" mounted to a 4" deep box and use it for storage.
  12. I wouldn't take it in. It's a pretty simple job and Youtube is your friend. Im a firm believer that anyone with a recreational vehicle of any type, especially watercraft or motorcycle...should learn and be able to do the most basic repairs/or service. It could make a life or death difference. JMO
  13. I was the only boat at Mayers last Sat. I wouldn't expect a crowd from people or perch. The launch is ok but its low..real low! Less that 2' from the launch to the first set of markers.
  14. Exactly!
  15. Yep.... Thank you for your reply!
  16. I knew there was somebody I forgot... Thank you!
  17. Can anyone recommend a Mercury Mechanic in the Rochester area? Thanks in advance!
  18. Ok, Im going with kill switch. It must not work as there is no tether clipped to it. Thanks for all the help, guys!
  19. Not the original owner....but the same switch is pictured in other 195's of same year +or-
  20. Thanks for the reply, Frogger. My horn button is red also, but on the right side.
  21. Looking for some info on a 1990 195 Sportfisher that I recently picked up. There is a white push button switch next to the ignition key on the left side of the console. Wondering what its purpose is? Can anyone help?
  22. PM sent concerning 90's 60hp Merc
