  1. Does anybody have this rather special piece ? It is part of EZ steer kit 2202
  2. I use 50/200 because I have a Furuno setup. I'm happy with it. How deep do the cracks go? You only found out while winterizing ,which implies that it worked just fine in spite of the cracks. It could be that a bit sealant in order to prevent further cracking may do the job
  3. These critters ,like all water fleas, are really quite amazing. They reproduce sexually and a-sexually. When they are in nice warm water with plenty of food, they clone themselves multiple times, hence the sudden rapid increases within just a few days, but when it gets cold or dry (in puddles) they reproduce sexually, thereby diversifying the gene pool and increasing the survival chances and mutations. it is really interesting to put them under a compound microscope. You will see the water flea and on its back you can see one or two developing clones that will separate from the "parent" by breaking through the the outer soft skin layer. only females will clone. They do winter over in egg state.
  4. It was hit or miss. There were real bad days, but then there was an upwelling with cold water coming up and the flees (and the fish) were gone. This was off Oswego. Last week I finally launched my new to me 22 foot Islander and went fishing a bit. Now for the first time in the end of October The flees were all over the place,so it is hard to understand what is going on.
  5. If you can, turn the engine upside down or at least horizontal so with the help of a flashlight you can see what's going on at the bottom of the engine block. That may save you from having to take the exhaust off the block.. it will also help you to insert the cooling water tube correctly into the hole.
  6. It used to be a site where information about fishing Lake Ontario was exchanged. Now it is mostly a sales ad website. Also, salmon fishing may be a baby boomer thing. The boomers are getting old and are fishing less and there are not so many replacement fisherman.
  7. I'm with you on that one, but with a twist. There is not a real reason why the egg take is done at a specific date. It can be done a lot earlier ,or in stages. If the river can be closed to fishing for say, a week before egg take so the salmon can safely reach the hatchery there would indeed be a better chance at SELECTIVE size dependent egg take. But it should not only be the river. There should be no boats in front of the river during that time either. I'm sure that the DSR would support this for their own reasons
  8. It is a bad sign that a lot of this thread has centered on armchair politician complaints centering on laying the blame on those "evil" liberals and democrats. It is an easy finger pointing cop out that requires no action beyond impotent complaining. There is a clear alternative that may change the picture and can help the eco cops. How would you feel about a page on this site where you can deposit pictures accompanied by place (GPS location), date and time. That would give the DEC an effective source of information about offenders and potentially a history of repeat offenders. This site could be accessed by DEC officers and give them a lot more muscle in the court room. Please consider this and write the cons and pros of this idea down so we have more info on how to protect our resources from illegal profiteers
  9. There are attachments in the market (E-bay) that can be bolted onto any of these boats. They stick out about 2 feet and you would have to strengthen the transom to support these. The last Starcraft Islanders were 22 footers with the attachment which turned them into 24 footers. They are available for just main engine and also for main and kicker.You can buy them online. The overall weight of the boat would not differ much since you would remove the I/O and the the engine which together weigh about 700 pounds. The center of gravity changes a lot and I doubt that towing long distance would be an option. The good thing is that you will no longer have a dog house which gives you a lot of extra room in the back of the boat. The attachments are aluminum .
  10. ttt
  11. Is this a one piece bamboo fly fishing rod? If so, it was probably made about 1908 so you are talking a real and valuable antique. You may want to contact some fly fishing organization and ask them for more info.
  12. I tried that and the only thing they have up for sale with the Starcraft name is bimini covers.
  13. That sounds like you want to make it a protected species
  14. Looking for an Aluminum Starcraft Islander Bow tip
  15. This conflict between native Americans exercising their treaty rights and local law enforcement or DEC enforcement repeats itself over and over again. Some Native Americans have a huge chip on their shoulder and they can be quite ornery,leading to unnecessary conflicts. It is beyond me what this has to with democrats or republicans. As for one "leader" or taking the law in one's own hands. Please let me remind you that you are getting riled up about a dispute between a policeman and a man lawfully exercising his freedom rights.
  16. Sorry for the misunderstanding. You did read correctly , but I did not write correctly. This module has a hot (red) unswitched and a ground (black) wire and in addition it has a red wire that is supposed to go to a switched connection. if I don't connect that second wire to a hot source, the module does not work. This second red wire should be attached to a switched source .Once the switched source is turned off the module stops working and is prevented from draining the battery. I should connect it to a switched source on the kicker, but I don't know know if it even has its own switched setup or if turning the key to stop the engine simply grounds the ignition
  17. I installed this little servo on a tohatsu 9.8 kicker,which is a simple procedure. It works well and allows me to go fishing by myself and keep a steady trolling speed every time I step away from the steering wheel and speed controls. I am left with one problem and that is the wire that I am supposed to hook onto a switched power source. It is to prevent battery drainage and the remote module will not work unless that wire provides 12 volts. Connecting it to my main engine switched system makes no sense because I turn of that engine when I troll on my kicker. So I am supposed to either just connect it to the positive on the battery or ,if there is one, a switched source on the kicker. The kicker has a side mounted remote control with a keyed switch to start the engine . My question is what (color) wire should I connect this wire from the module to so it has a switched source from the kicker. Your help is greatly appreciated, Cornelis.
  18. The Powder Mill hatchery is privately owned and has potentially been infected by a fish killing virus so it is unlikely to be used for Atlantic salmon.
  19. You and me and quite a few more people on this site.
  20. The probable best chance for Atlantics to survive in our tribs is by creating a passage way into the higher regions of the Oswego river. It goes all the way to Seneca and Cayuga lake , but because of al sorts of barriers ,created a long time ago ago for reasons that are no longer valid, this large and often deep river and creek system is effectively rendered useless as a potential natural reproduction opportunity. The Canal is a nice historical sight and it is great for the boats, specially because the maintenance and lock expenses are paid for with throughway authority money and not the users of the canal. But the entire region from Oswego all the way down to the Finger Lakes could gain a lot if Atlantic Salmon could enter and leave that area through open or properly channeled access possibilities. This would probably give the entire atlantic salmon project a better chance to succeed
  21. The DEC announced that the parking lot on route 19 will be closed from September 8th until September 16th
  22. Maybe your old merc had a prostate problem
  23. The one thing that most people tend to forget is the screen for the water inlet to the pump. If the motor is left in the water for longer periods of time, they tend to get clogged with zebra mussel and it takes a while for the impeller to pump up barely enough water. This also causes overheating and faster deterioration of the impeller. so make sure that your lower unit water inlet is clean.
