I have the exact same motor except it's a 15 horse, what I did for the throttle control is just use the handle twist and under the part that swings up there should be adjustments to make the twist function tighter, so all I did was make it tighter/harder to twist so the throttle wouldn't back off, works for me I also bought a handle extension, as my kicker is mounted at the edge of my swim platform, I also lengthen the pull rope, and cut a slot out of a eye hook which is screwed on to my board that goes across the top of the transom where my riggers are mounted. I turn the eye hook up a little, slip the pull rope in the eyelet and, now my pull rope is where I can easily get to it, 2 pulls and set speed with the kicker and steer off the main motor with E Z Steer. Lets go fishing!!!

Sylvan Troller, my batteries are on the opposite side, the manual mentions about that, ERRABBIT I have a 727 model older one, Time to up date and circular file the old girl.

HA-HA, Yea Skipper I know where that is. The reason we chose the motel we did was because he also owns a taxi service and we figured we'd hitch a ride up to the REAL motel because they said they are really tough on ya after a few beers, and I can not go to Canada and not drink a few Molson Ice brews at 5% it doesn't take many and your over the limit. When your in such an atmosphere they flow easy and time flies, 3am already? I guess we thought to hard, and the 4 hrs delay at the border didn't help either

Stripinline, years ago one of my sisters boyfriends, while he was dating her self taught himself the taxidermist trade, his name is Dave Fritz he did a nice buck for me and a pheasant, but this bird was yellow he knew the name for it I forget, anyway this turned into a big thing and the law got wind of this and they said to do any more work he needed to be licensed. Dave got away with it by saying it's a hobby and received no money for his work, so they said he needs to get a license then report back to the game commish. and they will not fine him so he did. Now he lives in Alaska being a full time taxidermist, and well known up there, so you never know what's next in life I say go for it, I know your not a Russian or a black market mobster, only wanting 2 fish to practice on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from PAP and his family, Since my mother-in-law passed away from Pancreatic cancer 3 years ago, we have Thanksgiving at our house. My wife and I started Tuesday evening with the preparation, I pressure cooked a 8# chicken for the filling. Wednesday I made the pies, apple and pumpkin, by then my wife and kids were home from school, and the girls started peeling the apples for homemade apple sauce and Paula cooked the cranberries for the sauce and I finished the filling, then washed all the pots up and fell asleep on the couch where I woke up this morning, Paula baked the filling because I always deep fry the bird, this year everything came together at the same time for a change!!! all my in-laws came which is 4 people and our family of 4 sat at the table all together, as I have no family members close by and my parents passed away from cancer 5 and 7 years ago. It was my turn to say Grace at the table and so I did, I want to let you know our thoughts were with Kevin and especially Laurie, who's name was mentioned in my say at the Table. We finished our meal which everyone complimented on and clean up. Ready for round 2, the deserts which my sister-in-law made and our apple pie and pumpkin pie all were excellent!! The gals looked at the sales flyers as we were BSing about the opening day of buck season here in PA. Which is Monday, Still bloated from Thanksgiving dinner. Now it's time to get ready for Santa Claus YEEE HAAAA !!!!! Hope everyone enjoyed them selves today as we have a lot to be Thankful for.

Les, I tried everything under the sun. I took the boat to a local lake and the manual sat out on the lake for hours and went through every page and every little nook and cranny in the finder itself and nothing changed, motor running, motor off, sensitivity all the way down-up. I'm in the mist for a new one anyway and I'm leaning towards a Garmin in the 50 series, I need to up date my gps. anyway.

Thanks guys, yea, I learned a lot from that 4hrs detain at the border. We missed our hotel in Maniwaki, like you said they close don't matter if your late or not, lost our $100.00 deposit for the room, and slept in the parking lot of the motel, we where headed for the Gouin Reservoir, it was like 175 miles of dirt road, excellent fishing, so is O'sullivan, huge lakers

I already have a 700 series, the only complaint I have is no matter where I put the transducer at a troll speed I get clutter on the screen down to about 15 feet. I tried everything possible to cure this problem, moved the ducer so many times I actually bought a big piece of that plastic white in color board and cut it to the shape of the transom so I wouldn't have the back looking like a pin cushion. tried the sensitivity no luck put new zinc buttons on I gave up? Now I transferred the same unit to the boat I'm using now same dame thing- so I live with it, speed up and the clutter goes away. OH I forgot to mention this, I wired a portable unit using the batteries from the boat and mounted the ducer in the same place, clear as a bell, don't figure? maybe the transducer? it was like this from new!! ing A

I got a cabelas flyer today and they have a hummingbird 788 for $550.00, I'm thinking about it

Where the hell do you think we were headed "Just saying" I see your name fits you. Fish Dick!!!

Well the other night my 2 uncles came to me and I knew they had something up their sleeves, so they said they are getting up in age and want to go to Canada 1 more time before they can't do it anymore, ok, where do you want to go I asked. They want to go back to lake O'sullivan, I said well you guys know what they put us through before, and you know how I feel about Country after that. They said that was 10 years ago, and now with the pass port thing people are telling them that they lighten up on the fisherman. So I said well I guess I'll go just for your sake. I always set everything up and of course that's what they want again, so I emailed Russell he took over since Ted sold the place years ago, last night Russell called me from Maniwaki Quebec and confirmed our dates and will be sending us the paper work. I guess after 10 years I got softer and actually excited to go, especially after hearing that the lake trout are very under fished and 30#ers are being caught that's on my list to accomplish a big laker. We went to this lake 30 years ago when it was a fly in only lake, and were the first group to drive in, it took 3 hrs. to go 15 miles that's how bad the road was, basically it was a logging path that the log machines used to drag the logs out to the main road, it was an adventure I'll never forget my dad and uncle walked the last 5 miles to guide me over the rocks, and checked out how deep the water holes were, it was cool. That's my story and I didn't know where to put this thread so I stuck it here!!!
