    I went through the rigamarole you're supposed to do with the starter to send oil through the system. Never worked for me. So I fog the cylinders and call it good. By the way, I found a combination of tools that got the offending plug out.

    Hello All, I have an odd dilemma with my main motor. I like to fog the cylinders for the winter. But one of the spark plugs (the bottom one) is located in a space where it is incredibly tough to get a wrench down there. All I could manage was to get a crescent wrench in the tight space and do little 1/8 turns at a time. First time I actually broke the ceramic part of the plug. Was never sure if I tightened the replacement properly. Is there some special Evinrude wrench for this task? Pete

    Hello All, I lost my landing net. Decided to make rather than buy a new one. It involved doing bent laminations over a wooden form. Had to spend some time on YouTube learning the ins and outs of how wooden nets are designed. You don't want it breaking when you finally scoop that 30 pound salmon! I may have made it beefier than it needs to be. It's a bit heavy, which will make solo landings more tricky. But that contrast of ash and walnut looks awesome.

    I was trolling Canandaigua Lake with a bottom bouncing rig. Got a strike and reeled in. When my lure got near the boat, I could see my colorful lure in the water, and feel the fight of the fish, but saw no fish! Turns out I had snagged somebody's broken-off copper line. A fish bit on the copper-line spoon after my rod gave it a yank, and I brought him all the way in!

    Well at least you got a couple good ones!

    I caught a big TT in the Genesee river this spring near Wellsville. There have been documented cases of fish that made it all the way from the southern tier to Lake Ontario. I think the TT were put in there before the big derby they have every spring in Wellsville. They are raised by private trout farms.

    No lube. If it's loose just squeeze it closed a little.

    Those little C clips can be bought at any auto parts store.

    This is so strange to see because most of the boaters I have fished with have been so particular about their boats, every little detail about maintaining it and running it. Add to that the price tag that rig must have!

    Whoa.

    Here is a shot showing its head better. Thought it funny it had no spots. Great trip Bill!

    Reading Matt's post was sobering. I definitely lucked out Saturday.

    You guys are making me think of how useful it would be for a guy to make a YouTube critique of every public launch along the L.O. coastline!
