Found 2 cheap Shakespeare rods in storage that I bought a few years ago when I wanted to troll off my 14’ and never did. I cannot find the reels for them ( which I think were ATS line counters )
are vintage Penn peer 209 level winds a good option? I can get a couple pretty cheap. Im thinking...
That is the way I’d like it to work. Only caveat is my house has a tiny property and the driveway is too short to fit my truck and trailer connected. I keep the boat down the road in the next town at a storage facility which eats into the time. My dad lives 5 miles from the boat ramp so it’s...
as I’ve stated in other threads I normally troll for lake trout in the finger lakes of NY ( Cayuga mostly ) but the lake is 2 hours from my house so it takes a full weekend to go out. Friends of mine tell me that i pretty much will catch walleye in Oneida lake no matter where I am on the lake...
Yup. It does foam up quite a bit. There are a couple ways to see where the liquid is sitting so you get the 75% fill.. the easiest is on a hot day it might condensate and show you as you fill it with cold liquid. And second is simply a hammer to tap. Neither is an exact science
I forget if...
Fun stuff. Tractor/Ag tires used to be part of my day job. I still help my father in law with his tractor tires when he needs it. I filled one of his last year after a valve got knocked off. I didn’t build the tube going back from the pump to let the air out. I just use the air bleed on the...
Nope. The water separator is preventive maintenance. I’ve actually just finished mowing with the ‘recovered’ gas that was contaminated in the kicker tank. I ended up with about 3 out of the 4 or 5 gallons in it after letting it separate and pumping it off
Everyone keep in mind. Water entered my kicker tank while it was strapped to the transom while on the trailer the night before it was going back out. As most of those tanks do, the caps don’t seal great. My 2 main tanks do not have water issues… but I’m eliminating the kicker tank and adding the...
Well yeah oil/ petroleum floats. But if the separator fills up, drain it. Re prime it and keep going… weird thing about oil and water is it doesn’t mix but it can be held together in suspension if it’s shaken or mixed. Hence water seperator
I ordered a new OEM mercruiser fuel water separator to install in my boat after I had a pretty severe water in fuel issue ( cut trip short when kicker quit )
My boat has 2 fuel tanks with a selector. Should I keep the selector in place or tie the tanks into the 2 inlets together? I’m also...
Honestly that’s a great idea. Luckily I was an able to see the water fuel line very easily. It’s kind of mesmerizing watching the water droplets fall through the gasoline
The first sample I took in a quart jar was nearly 50/50. I pumped a gallon off the bottom and then I got a clear larger container and pumped it off the bottom and let it separate and it didn’t have much at all. Filled my mowers and cans last night.
Had a slight issue last outing and my kicker tank ended up with a lot of water in it. ( rain night before. Vent open and it was strapped to transom )
Now I have 5 gallons of gas in there and quite a bit of water. I want to run it in my lawn mower. I’m thinking I can let it separate in a...
