Yea 6ft seas I'm glad to hear you used your head, if ya don't use your head when it comes down to making a good decision then you might as well be an ass on both ends. There many better days coming Todd, good luck on your shake down trip bud!!! PAP!!!!

Listen to what gambler says he's got a lot of knowledge and that many trophies to prove, there was a post called Gamblers Riggs look back through them and you'll get a sence of what he's got going on, and close up pics. Of the spin& glows.

Natually timing a motor requires a light, like Nautime said and he also mentioned a very good point, the condenser, yes I had one of those playing games till I just replaced that good to again, try that.

LMAO, IF you come up again!!! LOL

Yea your boat would be perfect for LakeO, I don't know hemlock, good luck, there are some great deals out there,,I kick myself in the arsh at times when is see these deals rigged turn key boats, but I have a 22ft Sea Ray cuddy I put so much time and money I can't back out now. Where is Fairport? I thought Hemlock was a northern in land lake?

I'd say the mechanical advance isn't working, take the cap off and spray a good penetrating fluid under the points plate. Or time the engine at 650/700rpm that keeps the advance out of the pic. The rev up the motor it should show an advance if not the maybe the abvance dogs are fprusred or the springs are weak. Try that first before you take it to thr dealer. They just want to line their pants pockets

I zip tie those green glow sticks. You can buy them at dollar tree or any of those type stores, just the dollar tree has the best ones, there're really bright and last long 6-8hrs.

Welcome aboard sea diver, lots of guys looking for a partner. Bring your boat north, I know it's a long haul. What type do you have, would you be able to use it in the north country? Best of luck with a ride!!

Hey thanks for the info guys, I was just going to bring this topic up again, but you guys beat me to it. You must have been reading my mind. The more I look into these divers the more I like them. I have two I bought last year at Fat Nancy's rigged them up but have yet to use them, that's going to change very shortly!!

That's what I was saying earlier it depends on the wind direction, those places are on the north shores, if the wind is coming out of the south/west you'll be alright there, you could put in at Henderson Bay we've had good bass fishing and pike fishing, I know guys were getting nice brownies but that was earlier in the season, or Sackets harbor they are on the opposite side, lots of possibilities. Buy a map of the northern part of LakeO then you can decide on what you want to do, just a suggestion.

Depending on the direction of the wind, and being that you are able to trailer there are many bays on the lake that would provide you shelter from the wind.

I had one on my other boat 18ft Sea Ray with a I/O with 3.0L the plate got me down to under 1.5mph used it for years. Then one spring I was getting her ready to head north when I noticed oil coming out the prop seal, no problem I'll just replace the seal, probably old and it's just time. While taking the prop off I noticed a lot of play in the out put shaft. I asked the Merc. Dealer we use and the first thing he asked was I using a troll plate:::"uuh ya" well now you need to replace the thrust washers and the seal, you got to be F#¥€~ kidding me. He said with the troll plate pushes back on the prop causing back pressure and that causes the washers to wear and over time this is the out come. Lesson learned, now I do a lot of trolling and had that boat for years. I now have a kicker on my 22fter. I would think with a 5.7 and a bigger prop the force on the washers would be even greater. Last year I blew my lower unit, due to someone rebuilt the original outdrive on my boat and they forgot to shim the gears on the top shaft and it ate the gears up, so I rebuilt the whole unit buy the book, it took me muchoo hrs and a lot of $$ in the special tooling you need, I didn't have the $1,800.00 for a new one, I have about $900.00 in it and it cost me the rest of the season.

Congrats that is a pig!!!

Thanks, I kinda thought this is to much rigging to taking these on & off. I'll look at that vid. Thanks again for the vid. Pap.

So I guess you let out just say 150ft then the amount of line to achieve the desired depth, when fish hits you can reel fish to the net instead of dealing with the fluro leader still 10ft away? Is this the benefit of the slide diver?
