Water depth and lure colors (Light spectrum penetration)
rolmops replied to RupturedDuck47's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
A bunch of years ago, the infishersman magazine did a lot of research on the subject. This was when there was a lot of advertising red hooks and line.(both turned black at 25 feet) They tested all colors at different depths using a setup based on the vision capabilities of smallmouth bass. I don’t remember a lot of it,but I do remember that purple was visible at over 50 feet while all other colors had turned to black. This was before the introduction of fluorescent color patterns -
A friend of mine adopted two desert wolves when I lived in Israel. They were the most sociable animals you can imagine. Also, they made my border collies look like halfwits.

The controls themselves are usually quite generic, but you may need different sized cables with ends that fit the the mariner

Pete, just to make it easier, check out this youtube. It should help you.

If you are sure that you have removed everything holding it, you should squirt some penetrating oil around the seam ,let it sit a bit and then heat it up a bit, just enough for the aluminum to expand a bit and spray some more penetrating oil. then take a wooden mallet and jut tap on the lower unit sideways so it vibrates enough to allow the penetrating oil to do its thing. After you have done that a bit you can also start hitting it with downward force. That usually does the trick. It is amazing what a bit of heat does to aluminum. It can also be the shift rod that is still stuck in its housing.

Hello Pete. The top of 47 is where the pin is. It is very close to the carburetor, but removing the carb is not very complicated. it is only 2 nuts. The VRO unit might make it a bit more complicated. I remember being able to pull the pin with a needle nose plier. -

It's a typo. the website is www.thenarwhal.ca -
You guys must be doing something wrong. When you go into the DEC website you are given the choice to receive all the DEC news blibs straight into your email account. There is the possibility to cherry pick what news you want and what you are not interested in. I had the state of the lake date announcement in my email and you could have had the same.
-
There was no lack of communication at all. the date was clearly advertised on their website together with above mentioned talks. all you have to to is sign up on the dec website and you will be completely up to date. LOU is not the DEC announcement bill board. It is just another local private website

A wet or dry winter and spring may turn all rational predictions upside down -
Both Canandaigua and Cayuga are wind tunnels and hard to predict. There is one golden rule If the wind comes from the south, don't fish the north end and if the wind is from the north don't fish the south end

Yes, it always was 35 years away into the future. Now finally, research has brought it in the realm of reality. The amount of energy needed to ignite fusion is still larger than the energy produced, but research is at the point of tipping the scales toward the energy producing side. Right behind it in research is cold fusion which is a lot closer now than it ever was,but still 35 years away. I believe , I will see it in my lifetime. For now I still have my completely refurbished mercruiser 4 banger and I hope to use it next summer. -
I ordered a Cybertruck, but given the waiting time, I will probably switch to an F150 lightning. What worries me is the limited towing distance that I may have to deal with.

If there is anything at all ,that I believe in . It is the creativeness of bureaucracy to invent new taxes to hit Jo Shmo just so it hurts a little but without killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. On the other hand, think about all the gasoline tax that you will not have to pay anymore.

Sorry, I tried to make sure that the problem is non political.

Enron Is the prime example of thievery and robbing of mostly Californian customers and employees. They used any excuse to rip us all off. But they were a middleman not a producer of either green or fossil energy

Spoonfed, Pollution and climate change hits us all. liberal, democrat, republican and conservative alike. going forward is a lot more effective working together to face a shared danger instead of fighting each other because of politically blown up ,but usually small differences. Believe me ,you in Springfield Mass or I in Rochester,NY will both get shafted equally hard if we do not work together. There is a saying in the IDF where I served. It goes like this: If you fight divided you hang alone ,but if you fight together you win the war.

I do not doubt that statement, this is a capitalist country after all. Although I do believe believe that green energy is being developed by investment capital with the intent to make a profit and do good at the same time. But I do compare it to the annual 20 billion US dollars that goes to the mostly highly profitable fossil fuel industry. This is not counting the corn/gas/alcohol farm subsidies. How much corn alcohol do you think will be produced without subsidies? And how much cheaper do you think that food will be if all that corn currently being turned into gasohol will be used to feed live stock and people?

For now, the alternatives are all limping along. But to imply that wind and solar are just as damaging as fossil fuels is not right. Do not ignore the mountain tops that are blown off in the Appalachians to get to coal veins.How about the rampant black lung disease that comes with mining? How about the water wells in Pennsylvania that were poisoned because of fracking? Or now in Alberta,Canada where the forests are ripped off the surface in 40 mile long stretches to get to the tar sands for oil (the dirtiest oil you fill find on the planet) That oil is the reason for the Key Stone pipe line which transports it to refineries in the southern USA where it is processed and exported to third countries. Or how about the nr.5 pipeline that goes under the straights of Mackinac in Lake Superior? It was build in 1953 with a life expectancy of fifty years but still transports oil today. If/when that one springs a big leak you no longer need to worry about getting your boat ready for spring. (so far it has had over thirty minor leaks) Finding the right alternatives is hard but we simply have to bite the bullet or very soon, we will be just another extinct species. Do not ignore the simple fact that the fossil fuel industry is spending huge amounts of money vilifying any and all alternatives that endanger their profit margins, just like the tobacco industry, the asbestos and the lead industry before them.

Big changes are about to happen in energy production. There are the truck sized nuclear fission reactors being developed in Britain as we speak. These will help decentralize electricity production. More interesting is the beginning of construction of nuclear fusion power plants. Future prediction has it that within 10 years these fusion plants will start producing nuclear energy without the radio active by products that are so frightful. Just like fossil fuel was the energy miracle of 140 years ago, fusion energy will be the next great step forward. For now we are experiencing the often painful change of one energy source to another less harmful form of energy production. Windmills and solar panels do less damage to the environment than fossil fuels, but they really are only a bridge helping us go to the next stage of energy production. It would not amaze me at all to see vehicles with small fusion power plants traveling our roads and lakes.

Gill, when the electric boats become more popular, you will see plenty of charging stations in the marinas. Granted, that fossil fueled engine will be grand fathered in for many years ,we will also see the electric outboard take over. The change over from 2 stroke to 4 stroke was amazingly fast, mostly because of the convenience of never having to worry about mixing gas. I think that the convenience of never having to winterize, will make electric outboards wildly popular and once the battery technology matures we will never look back. By the way. It is very easy to strap a generator on the back of your pick up and charge your boat batteries while you are cleaning up at the end of the day.

M47 Dragon. not on purpose. -
most shops have young mechanics .they only know 4stroke. the lower units are easily serviced. just spray the bolts with penetrating oil and let it sit overnight. Use some heat when you loosen them up . MOST of all, get yourself a factory manual for guidance. NOT some Seloc. Take pictures while you dismantle and put a big piece of card board under your work space. Good luck ,it's not hard.

Planer boards on a 17 footer are very important. I'm sure that you found out that when you move around or walk in the boat it goes in a different direction. The planer boards do away with that problem.But if you stop the boat they become problems. they go where the wind or current takes them. The best way to bring in a fish while using planer boards is to continue at the same speed keeping all the other lines straight. This will save you a lot of trouble,and you may get a hit on one of your other lines because those are still going good.
