    could be solenoid or starter. Have a buddy try to turn over while you hit the starter with a hammer. If you know how to jump a solenoid try that after.

    I pick up boats at New York Mills both Lund and Crestliner and can haul four to five boats depending on size. Sometimes we drop all boats at one location in the cities and the dealers come to pick them up with trucks so the customer can get in faster. Also Ive seen were the boat is delivered on a boat trailer and the boat is taken off and put on another boat trailer that was delivered in a group, then the guy that dropped off the boat heads back up with empty boat trailer to New York Mills to pick up another boat. There always just trying to get the boats out as fast as they can. Hope this helps

    Not sure if Leech Lake is to far away but I know Huddles resort allows pet. I know they charge a few bucks extra, but nice place.

    My dad had one on his 1950 tyee if your going to use one make sure you grab a cup of coffee and a lawn chair. Finally got him used to being able to connect safety chain and then once up on flat land crank the rest of the way it went alot better. Save yourself the embarrassment and frustration..

    agreed i put the tempest on my optimax and max all the difference in the world. I looked at cheaper ss props but after talking to the guys at rapid sports you have to be careful because even if there ss they are not going to be as thick as the Tampest also its the prop designed for the Merc. I noticed a change the second i put it in gear amazing!

    I have the 1850 I believe 10 can go in the center and another 5 in the side compartment. I all depends if you want to take off the reels or leave them on. I go salmon fishing and there is always plenty of room but most time I pre rig them before I go and leave them together so when i get there at 3 in the morning I’m not trying to put them together. You can also put more rods on the other side compartment if you want but I never have had any reason to. The only negative is if you have 10 foot rods and the first eyelet is to big to fit into the tube, thats when they go in the side.

    be careful of the fold away nets bought two and the only lasted for one year each. Although the had a lot of use they just didn’t last the plastic attachment would always break, great for room wise but I went to a new net this year a Beckman with the rubber net and very happy. The only thing that I don’t like is that its not that deep. Also depends on how nice you want to keep your boat the plastic handle ones are nice because they don’t scratch the inside as easy as the metal handle ones. Fleet farm has a good selection..

    Best thing to do is go t a place like Vados or Thorn Bros and look in the tanks and the sign above them

    Same with me went through three of them. sitting still in the water no reading put engine in gear and go 5mph would get signal, then some days worked all day other never would read the bottom. Even replaced my 520 with another one and same thing. Bought a brand new lund already set up for Lowrance and two weeks same thing, just like my old boat. So another transducer and has been working so far.

    My dad had one, very nice but a pain in the if you want to take the time to hook up the battery or wait for it to slowly bring up the boat while everyone it waiting for you at the boat ramp then there fine. Or you could just back the trailer in the water a little further

    Found that website for you with the gps for the cribs and walleye rocks, check it out http://www.cheteklakespa.org/. One thing I forgot is we fished some of the cribs and nothing there were all by the islands… Welcome to the site these guys are great!

    I know just were that is my brother in law has a place on mud/ojaski lake the campground your at will be between this lake and Prairie lake. For crappies I would hit mud lake there is a couple of island out there in the middle and just a hook and some crappie candy yellow seemed to be the best. We actauly drifted for them and did very well. For walleye Prairie lake is your best bet. If you look online you can get the gps for the crappie cribs and also they brought in truck loads of rocks of the point in prairie lake and they give you the gps coordinates for that as well. Fish crappie in the day and walleye at night because I know this that area gets Busy alot of people and activity on that lake. Also when you go through the backwater river to Prairie lake theres a big stump just before the bridge you go under be careful. Have a good time

    Life can get crazy and frustrating and that is what makes the time on the water or with the wife much more appreciated.
    Hang in there

    I’ll never understand why people do this. We used to just leave them open on Forest Lake but then they started to tear apart the inside.

    You can also rent kayaks and they will bring them to a boat ramp for you. You can then paddle to a little island and fish from there. Its not that far and I had a blast fishing. I just got couple dozen shrimp and a hook and pitched where the drop offs were. My wife went with and she sun bathed on the beach while I fished. There was no one else out there and like I said was not that far to paddle. I got all kinds of different fish nothing huge of course but enough to make it worth the trip. Just pick a brochure somewhere and find out who delivers them to the boat ramp, I wish I could remember the name for you but thats a option to. At that same ramp there were guys fishing off the sidewall, it was at a public park so at the very least you could find the park and grab some shrimp and fish off the wall. Have fun!!

    The signs were up the next day and I took down my deer stands. I also cleaned up the popcans and other garbage the guy left.

    They said since my father in law did not have no trespassing signs every 100 feet they can’t do anything. My father in law at this point was asked what was stopping him from camping our in this guys front yard for a weekend. My thought is if you have are taken down a guys fence and hunting in camo during gun season you know your doing something wrong.
