    transducer issue-question

    Your guy doesn't sound like a pro. Transducer must be in the water to read, and have good clean flow without air bubbles when moving. That is why boats have glassed in thru hull or high speed skimmer transducers in addition to side imaging ducer.

    Kayak question

    Biggest decision is sit on top versus sit in. Pros and cons either way. Most sit on tops have scupper holes that will keep water in the kayak if the rider is heavy enough. Scupper plugs are sold, but I had to epoxy mine in to keep them sealed. You should always be prepared to get wet, but I...

    Lowrance Live vs Carbon

    Looking for comments from anyone that has used side imaging on HDS Carbon and Live units running active imaging transducer. Screen specs are the same, so wondering if image quality is the same. Thanks.

    Boat Title

    Those poor, disadvantaged dealerships! If there is a change made, the solution better be to stop double taxation completely rather than impose the sales tax on private sales too.

    Minnesota walleye poaching for vikings games

    Not saying it's a good rule but the rule is clear. The guy also has numerous other game violations. If they were in the freezer, they were still edible until deputy doofus laid them out for a picture. Wanton waste? Looks like everyone involved in this story is in the wrong.

    No more messing with the clock in North Dakota

    Google search: "City, state sun chart" for any location you wish to see. The middle section from mid March to early November is DST. The outside portions are standard time. Shift standard time up an hour to see what daylight hours will be. Bismarck SW Wyoming I don't mind the time change...

    Minnkota sonar

    Should be plug and play with this adapter (mkr-us2-15) to connect the thin black cable from the minnkota to the transducer port on the back of the graph. Should be able to find in town at Scheels, Dakota tackle or boat dealers. As noted above, you will just have regular sonar from the...

    K- Drill won't cut

    I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it for myself but my blades went from cutting like new to not cutting another inch in about 15 holes with a sand seam between ice and melted snow. Sandy ice will dull these blades very quickly and to the point that they simply will not cut regardless of...

    DeWalt K-Drill - 3 Season Review

    Wrapping up the 3rd season with a DeWalt 996B turning a 7.5" K-Drill through at least 500 holes/season. It just let me down for the first time, but I attribute that to not paying attention to heat build up while drilling multiple holes through close to 3ft of ice. A plastic centering plate...

    Minnows in Refrigerator

    I've been using the Tetra AquaSafe Plus to keep minnows in the fridge all ice season, and it's really cut down on waste and hassle. I was skeptical the AquaSafe would work on chloramines in city water but it sure does. About 12 drops into a gallon jug with cold tap water and it's ready for the...

    Lower Unit Freezing

    About 15 seconds is plenty to drain most of the water before proceeding up the ramp. Even if it's 30 seconds nobody will get mad that you took time to let it drain. Watch your mirrors and you'll see when the gushing slows to dripping. Dripping is fine. It's the big washes all the way up the ramp...

    Lower Unit Freezing

    Water acts as a lubricant and heat dissipator for the impeller. Spinning at high speed without water can cause wear. The best boat mechanic in Bismarck says to never do it which is good enough reason for me.

    Lower Unit Freezing

    Thanks ndwalleyes for including the most important rules for cold weather boating. Failing to let trailer drain deserves a large fine. Never had an issue with two- or four-stroke outboards simply tilting down to drain at the ramp as usual to comply with ANS rules. Cracked lower units happen...
