    Ice Fishing

    Anybody out on the ice this year? Season opens here Feb 1, can't wait. We had a fair bit of cold lately so there seems to be a decent amount of ice for a change. Only problem is we are forecast to have a snow storm today so getting to my fishing spots might be a challenge on the ATV.

    Short shaft kicker?

    I have found a 12 ft aluminum boat with aluminum trailer and a 2021 yamaha f9.9 short shaft motor for sale for $5000. That seems like a very good price and I wanted a small boat for fresh water fishing. I was hoping the outboard would double as a kicker for my larger boat pictured below. I would...

    Fogging f90 efi

    Just wondering the best method to fog the above motor without taking out spark plugs. Spray oil into air intake while running? Would running some gas thru mixed with 2 stroke oil mixed in do the same or even better?

    Brake fluid

    Just curious, but I have read that dot4 brake fluid has a higher boiling point and thus helps prevent the fluid turning to steam in the lines and then compressing causing lose of braking. Is this right? Which leads to my question...how can a given volume of any liquid evaporate and then be...

    2000 Bayliner Trophy

    I just saw an add for this type boat locally. I was wondering about their quality and specifically about what core material was used in transom, stringers and floor. From what little research I have done seems to say Greenwood plywood. Is this good? I've already restored 2 rotten transoms and...

    Pink Salmon

    I just read where a couple of Pink Salmon (Pacific species) have been caught here in Eastern Canada. Anybody have any experience catching these? Are they good eating? Do they get very big? A guy I know who lived in BC said these were considered the least desirable of the Pacific salmon species.

    Engine support while towing.

    Just wondering how people support a heavy OB on the transom while towing. My tow to the water is only short, 5 min., but I still cringe when I go over bumps and think of the motor bouncing on the transom. I have an F90 Yamaha. I just keep it at full up with the small lever down to take the...

    Hi, I have a Yamaha f90 2016. The gauge up in the dash is a 6Y5T multifunction. The problem is the trim indicator on the gauge goes from full down to full up before the motor is even half way up. I have had it a couple of years and until now it always read full up regardless of motor position...

    dirty tank

    Not really sure where to post this. I got stranded last week, ended up being a clogged inline fuel water separator/ fuel filter. No water but the gas I poured out was pretty cloudy with whitish flakes. I suspect varnish buildup in the built in tank. Whats the best way to clean out the tank? Is...
