Lost my steering arm for kicker to out drive... Anyone have one they are willing to part with? Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Found this on Facebook. Great app. Not sure how it works on Lake O but it works great on the Finger Lakes! $9.99 for a year beats $1000 or more for a GPS fish finder. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I got my dipsy set very lite. Not sure why it didn't trip at first but it did soon as I grabbed the rod. Have to change the cam in my boat. Hopefully be out on the water this weekend. Might give Seneca a shot since b&b will be on Cayuga this weekend Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sounds like I just better start saving to put a different motor in it or switch it to an outboard so I can get some winter use out of it Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The boat its self is solid. Old Aluminum. Just needs a new floor and paint. No leaks. We ordered a new cam and timing gear... Can't believe a fiber glass gear is $100... Cam is $255... Head gasket is brand new. I think he checked the heads when we changed the head gasket. I'll make sure today Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

2nd cylinder wasn't getting the lift like the other ones and that is also where the head gasket was blown out. I was thinking that maybe the cylinder would be worn from weak compression but idk anything about motors. We already have the cam all the way out.

It will show bad compression with a bad cam correct? That's why we didn't do a compression test. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Exhaust elbow was $250 + $125 for exhaust manifold gasket and head gasket. Rebuild the out drive already... That was around $200... Now camshaft is $255 plus the timing gear which idk the price of that yet plus the install... That's another $400 with no grantees on work other then I been watching what he is doing and he is explaining it as he goes... Do I have to worry about the crank and pistons being wore down and need replacing? If so does that mean the block is probably worn out also? Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Replaced exhaust elbow, head gasket, rebuilt carb, hydraulic lifters, exhaust gaskets and manifolds.... Now it needs a can shaft... I got a ton of money into it... Is it worth spending another $250+ gaskets and timing gear and what ever else... I hate to spend all this money to have the motor blow because mechanic is leading me on saying " this will get you out there"... Basically crank shaft, piston head and rods, rings... Are what remains.... So much for fishing this year Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Can't afford riggers right now. I will be able to but I need to start putting away for winter. I have to get a board fixed on the back so I can stick down riggers on anyway. Easy fix Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I switched from mono to braided to help trip the dipsys.I'm worried about using wire because if it gets in the kicker... I'll probably stick to braided for now till I get more practice with the new boat. I'd almost rather cut a diver off over taking the kicker out. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Any where local to get it? I'm using braided line but need to change it. You just need a different tip for wire correct or do you have to have special rod for wire? Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Oops double post... Just spoon. Umm idk its the small spools they sell at Walmart. I'm going to have to get better stuff. Using stuff from last year( first year trolling was last year). Bought a 18' foot boat and kicker so I'm getting back into it after all summer rebuilding the motor Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

70feet down on FL angry Alewife. All the smaller ones were in the top 40. I just kept changing colors. Good luck tomorrow. I won't be able to hit the water to till 6:45 again. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Headed out of Dean's. Setup right out the shoot at 100fow. Trolled south till ran in the first break in the houses marking very little and no bait. Turned and headed north and started marking a lot of fish between 40 and 60 ft. Must of had my drag set to tight because when I finally got a hit the tip of the pole bent right over. Dipsey tripped and brought a nice LL to the surface. Did one jump and snapped 12 lbs test... I was disappointed since it was one of the biggest LLs I have ever had on... 0/2 but now I got the shakedown trip out of the way with my new to me boat. Can't wait to get back out there. Should I use a heavy leader ? I would really like to land one of these large LLs.... Sad part is I landed a 10 lbs laker using 6lbs test... Haven't been able to get any Lakers. Been running between. 2.2 and 3.1 surface by GPS. I know surface means little... But its better then nothing Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll pm you details. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's how it should be Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I know your not suppose to swim there but how many people do? I know I do... I park the boat out just off shore so the kids can swim to it and jump off... The dead rotting bodies can't be good Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm not sure. I thought about taking pictures... Oh yeah I'm just taking pictures of your fish and your boat.... Not.. Lol Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
