Well heard from the mechanic at Frontenac. Motor is toast believes it is a thrown rod. Says horrible knock in the bottom of the motor. Not good Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The same marina/ boat dealer was the business that did the winterization and replaced the water pump for me last November. They were the last people to do any kind of mechanic work on the boat what so ever except me replacing a battery Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I know I have electric ignition but as far as a brand I guess I don't know. I guess I'm at the mercy of the gods at this point I'm waiting for the mechanic at Frontenac to look closer at the boat they were swamped with other things and he hasn't been able to run any diagnostic tests on it yet. If it is a blown motor would it be possible to go back on the marina/ boat dealer that sold the boat to me. It seems that in selling a boat if you market your self as a boat dealer/ broker you would be held liable for some period of time for majior repairs especially when the consumer has been reassured numorus time everything is mechanically sound and in proper working order. This wasn't a road side deal on Craigslist from a private seller. Like I stated before Fronanac marina on Cayuga lake is not the issue here I in no way want to mistakenly slander there business. They have done everything they could so far and plan to work with me in the future when there schedual frees up. Has anyone ever had luck going after a boat dealer for selling a poor product. That is a worst case senario Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I requested the water pump be replaced for.peace of mind. Motor heat gauge on the dash never climbed above 140. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don't believe vandalism is an issue Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Engine compartment is clean all.fluids were checked by the marina during winterization and oil was checked by my self before I put boat in the water in mid may. Frontenac marina has it now and that is where it is kept. Frontenac is not the same marina that did the work to tho boat or the marina that the boat was purchased from. They have been nothing but helpful Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm not sure about the motor. I never lost oil presher. Motor has run for maybe 4 hrs this year. Checked oil when I put it in the water in mid may and it was good. Always have had good oil presher like I stated before all alarms work as they should on the boat. No oil slick ever noticed behind the boat I'm hopeful that this wasn't a catastrophic failure of the motor. Last year ran fine. Had water pump replaced.when the boat was winterized Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks I wouldn't know the first thing about fishing for them But he travels all over fishing for them. I'll relay the message to him Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I maybe mis understanding your question but thumper rods are usally fished with a paddle or a flasher. They are used mostly as a speed indicator and run directly down the shoot with a 1 or so lbs weight. I don't I thunk cowbell are going to give you the desired effect you are looking for. But I have always used a standard flasher fly leader combo like what I pull behind a diver. 7 to 8 ft to the flasher and about 3 flasher lengths from flasher to the fly.

Not sure if you are asking about divers in general or those particular brands but yes I use divers all the time. Always have at least 2 in the water. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
