    I have an HDS 7..... I am wondering why you are changing the transducer? Is there something not right with the original? Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I don't know if this is anything to worry about but I'm guessing it's not normal. I am seeing very tiny gold particles on my flywheel and engine. I believe it's something to do with charging system or the ignition system. Evinrude 175, 1993 model. See pictures. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

    I'm sure this can be done, maybe using the canvas top as a pattern, and making a mold. Does anyone have experience with this? Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I think this Year has totally stunk for the high winds, waves, and poor fishing. I Know that's fishing, but with our very short summers, it disappointing. I'm moving to Texas in the early spring, and I hope the gulf coast fishing provides more days on the water available. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I'm in the FAA, and our regulations always have to have. NPRM (notice of proposed rulemaking) period where the regulation is published, along with background information, and public comments are gathered. Then, FAA publishes an answer to the public comments, and answers why or why not it is adopting the comments. Why doesn't NOAA have a similar requirement?

    Thanks Captain! I was going to cancel because they are saying 1 to 3 Building to 2 to 4. Earlier today it said 2 feet or less. But early morning to noon might be okay. I think we'll venture out of Olcott and give it try. It's the only day my nephew has, five kids, and he's a Coach. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I am wondering if I launch at Fort Niagara to fish the lake, and it's too rough, if it is worth fishing in the lower Niagara this time if year (June 24)? My nephew and his boys are coming up Friday night to fish Saturday out of Olcott, but the weather is iffy with rain and winds at SW 17 MPH. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Too me, that's too late in the year......if they are staging in front of the creeks getting ready for the run up to spawn, and die, they are very difficult to get to strike anything. That's been my 4 year's experience fishing for them. You'll see hundreds on your fishfinder stacked up, but no bites Maybe someone else will tell you different, I'm certainly not an expert. But that is my observation. My best fishing seems to be July and into mid August. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Looks like a good concept, but after looking at the online reviews, it seems these these can come apart at the seams, and might not be built the best. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Won't matter anymore. The system is rigged now, and they got away with it. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Looks like the bar is still the place to go. Seems slow east to Olcott and beyond. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Put 57 gallons back in...non ethanol. $200. Ouch. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yeah, but PMs don't help folks with similar problems in the future! LOL Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have the itroll with hunt mode. It works great. I use hunt mode now and then and it works well at varying your speed in increments on the way up and down to the min and mac throttle settings you program in. You can also program the step size, for example 1 percent or 5 percent steps. The larger step size gives more of a radical speed change, supposedly causing fish to think the prey is escaping.

    Move a compass (like for hunting) around the compass unit and check for needle deflections. This will help show if there are metallics nearby. Do any other modes work at all? Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I think the CDI website has a ton of good information on how to check powerpacks, etc. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Ok all, I got it done. And I appreciate everyone's comments and advice. I didn't take offense to anything anyone said, so I'm not sure what that post was all about. But, I decided to go by the old adage, "better safe than sorry"! I bought two 55 blue plastic drums, and a little siphon hand pump. First I siphoned out about 30 gallons so when I removed the sending unit the gas wouldn't be gushing out since I thought I had quite a bit in this 92 gallon tank. This first 30 or 40 gallons looked good, no water or sludge. I just siphoned right through the filter can and used the primer bulb hose. After that, the tank sending unit hole was easily accessible. I removed it, and I then stuck the hose all the way to the bottom, and finished sucking out all the gas. This went into the other barrel, and it had water and sludge in it. I'm guessing but probably 2 maybe 3 gallons of bad stuff. It's hard to judge. But the tank looked pretty good. I used a sponge to soak up the last of it. So, I will put a new filter on, and fill her back up with non ethanol which is all I use. As for the gas in the barrels, I'm quite sure the 30 gallons in the one barrel is good, but it will go in the mower, not the boat. The 4 or 5 gallons of bad stuff, I will call around and find a place. This boat is a 1982, so that's a long time for water to accumulate. Everything seems tight and sealed. One advantage was I got to calibrate my fuel sending arm/float mechanism which I believe was way off after checking it. Thanks for your help! Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks all I think I will buy two 55 gal barrels and pump out what I can, and filter it back into the tank after ensuring no water. I'm worried about a breakdown 10 miles out. Maybe I should just completely drain and remove it. I'm trying to attach a picture.... Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    There's a formula for how fast a motor will push a boat, if the motor is not large enough to get the boat on plane. If it won't get the boat up on plane, it makes no difference if it's a 9.9 or 20. That's what the book, or article said, and I believe it was US Coast Guard document. It has to do with the size and width of the hill, length, etc, and the horsepower of the mother wasn't even part of the formula! Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yes, you can find used trailers, trouble is you have to take the old rotted out boat that's sitting on them.... LOL Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have the Lowrance outboard autopilot too, same thing I think. I only pray my HDS 7 never quits because that's how you control the Auto pilot Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
