Clean one owner boat. Additional pictures are available. Call or text me at 6513531884

Buddy and I walked out Saturday to 23′ of water. We managed to scrape together a single limit of walleyes as well as a handful of jumbos. Two larger walleyes, 19″ & 24″ were released.
Ice thickness was 7″-9″ in all areas we drilled.

A big thanks to Red Door for continuing to provide up to date ice conditions.

I am sure it is good. 2 pieces of cheese, 2 pieces of bacon bordered by two chunks of fried chicken. KFC won’t even publish the nutritional info on it. saving carbs yes but far from healthy.

all are far from healthy

The Nook, in St Paul is the best I’ve had

basketball = channel 4

Got one for the $299 price Sunday afternoon, they are shipping it to me for free, what a deal.
bye, bye FL8

I was given a used DVR that was apparently sold by Direct TV. It is set up to work with Direct TV. What I am wondering is can I hook it up and use it without Direct TV. I currently have cable. The instructions talk about having to register it. Hook it to a phone line. And steps like that. But I would think that if I dont use Direct TV that I should be able to connect to the cable and go with it.
Am I wrong it my thinking?
If someone actually knows it would be great.
Thanks

You could look here

I,ve got a friend that runs his dvr as a linux server, similar to the above link. He is pretty technical, and enjoys tinkering with it. It Would be pretty tought to pull off if your not technically inclined.

I’d recommend a standalone tivo box. I think mine is $10/month.
FYI, You will need to have either a WIFI or phone line connection available for the Tivo box (or any dvr for that matter)to update programming.

Try a soft reset? Turn off power…..Hold the pages and power button until map shows up,then release.

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot.

I was there and saw u on the jumbotron,
congrats

I agree, I’m going to try fattening up the high speed jets in the one offending carburator. Worth a shot

Did the bearings get replaced?

---

shaft bushing that goes into the tail housing was replaced along with the impeller, did not fix the problem. My dealer was pretty straight with me, merc rep told him it could be one of two things, the bushing or the mains squealing, looks like it’s the latter.
IMO , if your main crankshaft bearings are making that kind of noise, it cannot be good.

Bump this thread,
I had my 75 merc in the shop, bushing lubed and re-aligned.
Did not fix this sqealing problem. My dealer told me there is one other cause for this noise and merc is aware of it.
Apparently at WOT the #3 cylinder can lean out and starve the mains for oil, that squealing noise you are hearing is the mains spinning, ummm not good…..

The “solution” to this is to put a fatter jet in the #3 carb, I’m not sure what good that will do????
I’ll be headin back to the dealer this week to talk the tech,
probably a call to merc as well.

Question???
Could I just put a quart of oil in my tank each time a fill up?( I did it during break in)
I’d probably foul some plugs, but better than spinning the mains.
I can’t afford to have this motor grenade on me.
Anyone know if adding oil to the tank would hurt anything else?

Probably had my best opener ever on the Croix, and I didn’t catch a legal…..
Let me rewind the story a bit. Found out friday that my fishing partner was a late cancel for Sat AM on the Croix.
Later friday evening a friend of mine suggested that I take a certain 13 year old neighbor of his that was a passionate, albeit newbie fisherman. I agreed.

Fast forward, we are on the river early AM and it’s pretty slow, but a beautiful morning. I hear from the back of the boat, ” I got one on, and it’s a big one” followed by the sound of screeching drag. The fish made 3 runs during the fight and it finally came to rest in my net, walleye, taped out at 26.5″.

I would guess that 8 minutes had passed when I heard the familar, “I got another one on, and it’s a big one” The ensuing fight lasted a few minutes and a second large walleye was laying in my net, this one taped out at 27″, and she was thick In the next few hours this 13 year old “newbie” proceeded to land another very nice 22″ eye, and we called it a day at about noon.

It was without question my most memorable opener, and I’d argue his as well. I think the St Croix River has managed to “hook” another young fisherman.
Next year I’m gonna make him take me out.
We’ve got some photos, that I will post when I get a chance.
I wanted to share this story, good luck out there everyone.

50 degrees today around stillwater,
45 degrees around bayport

In the boat, pullin lead.

thanks for the responses,
Gary, sent you a PM.

in

OK, guess i’ll have it checked out.
thanks

bump…
I’ve sprayed the heck out of the shaft with silicone,
with limited success. I thought I had cured it, but it was back, and worse this past weekend.
Any additional ideas, thoughts?

I use glass rods for my leadcore set ups 6.5′-7.5′,
diawa 47 series linecounters and about 10′ of 12# flourocarbon connected with a very small swivel.
I love pullin lead, it’s my favorite way to fish and cover ground.

So, the section of the skimmer transducer that sticks straight out off the transom, you tilt that back end(furthest out from the transom) up or down?? Mine is currently level and pointed straight out off the back.

I put my transducer so it is angled forward just slightly. It seems to pick up bottom better at higher speeds. It doesn’t take much, just a couple degrees.

You can easily tell if you have went too far. Use the locator and when you mark fish if the arc is not complete you have it tilted wrong. If you just see the back half of the arc it is tilted too far back and if you just see the front half of the arc it is tilted too far forward.

I have the 500c, and I think the color display is definately worth it, much easier to read in direct sunlight
I use a seperate stand alone handheld gps with the lakemaster chip for mapping.

Quote:

---

Hey guys, I am gonna buy a new gps sonar unit and will either go with the Fish Elite 480 or the 500c or the 502c
My question is this, is it worth the extra $80 to go with the color???? These models are what I can afford, and a black and white will be about 11 steps up from what I have, I think the color would be nice to have, but I think the b&w has a higher resolution/biggerscreen. Any input would be apprecieated

Thanks in advance

Brad

Can you describe what you mean by “tilted forward” ?
I lose bottom at high speed with my Eagle too.

Thats exactly what it sounds like, a slipping/ squealing belt, thanks for the tip, I’ll give that a try.

If it’s anything like my yammi it sounds like a belt squealing on a car?? I dealt with this noise and found out it was a vertical shaft coming off the bottom of the motor and running down into the lower. Silicon spray and it hasn’t done it since!! Here’s the link to which I replied with a pic a while back, your motor may have the same shaft?? Click here
