Bit nautical out there today. But I dragged my neighbor (older man who got me interested in Ontario) out . He hasn't caught salmon in years so was glad I could make it happen . Most action was on clean spoons.
I have a 15hp Johnson "short shaft" on my adjustable mount. Perhaps your mount is mounted too low. It would be cheaper to raise it then to buy another motor . You don't really have to follow outboard rules of "cavitation plate level with bottom of boat" with the kicker as your not going to be going fast enough to have it cavitate. As long as you have the leg deep enough in the water to pump water it will do its job . I can take some pictures tomorrow after work of my setup . I would like to see yours... i am betting you could just move it and sold your issue
Textured Fiberglass floor cleaner
Hey can anyone recommend a good product or procedure for cleaning textured floors ? My penn yan floor is bright white but after a few fish and some routine maintenance on the motor .. I have some grease marks , blood, grime etc. I use the wash down pump to clean up on the water but this floor really holds onto stuff . I've had good luck with magic erasers before but very time consuming and the texture shreds them quickly. Lately been splashing some dawn on the deck and just mopping it . But really not doing the trick ...
Right on ... I was always nervous out there on my buddy's 19' ... so I looked hard and bought a 21' penn yan tournament. It really is a confidence inspiring boat. Second trip out with it I was 17 miles out and the boat was the least of my concerns .
to the op .. good luck with sale . I know you want to sell it .. but for that price with what's included .. I can't imagine it doesn't hurt . ... now If I didn't already have one ... lol
Right on , after Luke brought it to my attention the first thing I did was check the guide . I certainly want to follow the rules. And ignorance doesn't mean legal lol !
It was a good evening . Lost two kings at the boat . Man they are incredibly strong fish . Had a bunch of releases with only scales on the hook ??.
Had no action for awhile so I dropped one down to 90 . That's when I got that first one . So I dropped all the others from 90-120 and the fun began .
Just incredible fish to catch . Defiantly hooked .
i do need to invest in a bigger net . As a newbie I thought my 2 foot hoop would do . Nope . That cost me fish tonight . Trying to squeeze 10lbs into a 5lb sack
I felt a bit under the weather but forced myself to go as it was my only opportunity till next week . Glad I went .
If you have any bolts through the transom down low , put a wrench to them and tighten them right up , if it's too bad you will see water get forced out and drip as you compress the layers together.
Never did find anything besides lakers - ah-well , great night, lake was dead calm.. still learning , atleast i came home with everything I left with this time !! And had to use the wash down to get slime off deck, that's a good sign !
Stony point
Out here now. Water is dead flat. West of finger couple nice lakers. Finally gear is cooperating. Thanks for help everyone. Now if I can catch salmon.
