I’ve liked this Rymar sealer better than Thompson. But I haven’t used anything else for 25 years so my comparison might be out of date as maybe Thompson’s is different now.

I see a report on hummingbirdcentral of a sighting in Des Moines on 4/8.
December 17, 2023 at 7:46 am #2242314Some background on the push to change the flag.

Seemed pretty much the same as it has been. We didn’t notice the owner.
On our second visit we had first stopped at Slippery’s first but my wife is immunocompromised and needs to dine outdoors. They wouldn’t serve anyone outside that day, probably a staffing issue, so we ended up at the pickle again. Hard to beat the view from their deck.July 2, 2023 at 6:18 pm #2211686I don’t believe there are any dedicated car parking spots at Izaak Walton.
July 2, 2023 at 5:11 pm #2211677I wasn’t going to reply because I don’t consider myself an expert and I haven’t drank much rum the last ten years. But currently I am slowly working through a bottle of Mount Gay that is a good mixer. I also have a bottle of 25 year old Appleton’s that’s a good sipper. I’ve had it for 15 years I bet.
Years ago I enjoyed a couple bottles of Cockspur. As I recall it had almost bourbon like qualities to it. Sort of a cross between the two. I should revisit that one.
Rum has such a wide variation.
June 17, 2023 at 12:31 pm #2208654I haven’t followed Lunds models in a few years. Is the Adventure supposed to be a more economical boat under the Impact? If so, that’s a great move by them to get boats at a better price point for a lot of people.
I believe so. It’s also about a foot narrower so it fits in tight garages easier.
June 17, 2023 at 10:32 am #2208641Dave (or anyone else), my son picked up his 1775 Adventure earlier this week. He’s only been out twice but he said he’s having trouble getting it to center on the trailer. And from what he said if it’s an inch off center the boat basically ends up touching one of the trailer fenders.
He’s launched at Owasso and Johanna and he’s tried backing in shallow and deep. He doesn’t have guide on posts so maybe that would help. He’s used to my fiberglass boat which usually centers nicely.
Any suggestions on what is working for you?
June 2, 2023 at 1:08 pm #2206307Just for background dielectric grease isn’t really meant to be a cleaner. It’s a non-conductive grease that can be used to coat contacts to prevent moisture from causing corrosion.
A contact cleaner spray will flush out gunk on a connector and of course if contacts are corroded bad enough they’d need sanding or replacing.May 29, 2023 at 5:06 pm #2205409Very nice! My son has the same boat and motor on order with expected delivery in mid June. Needless to say he’s very excited.
Is that a 12 inch graph? My son is planning on 10 inch graphs.
May 20, 2023 at 5:22 pm #2203852I might try removing the plugs and see if it will turn without compression.
April 23, 2023 at 8:28 pm #2198335Thanks all.

Which site did you get?Hi Chris,
I’ll be on Williams island north from may 24th-28th. Also booked a trip for late August on lost boy island
We were on Williams Island South last summer and I got fair Verizon reception in camp. Walk down the bank to the boat and I’d lose it.
April 10, 2023 at 4:56 pm #2194887It’s a drive from where you are but we got out on Lake Zumbro just North of Rochester on Saturday. Some ice in bays but that’s probably gone by now.
February 5, 2023 at 2:38 pm #2179116We stayed at Skipjack Resort in Marathon a few years ago. It’s not so much a resort as a place with good sized suite rooms with kitchenettes. It suited our needs very well.
We enjoyed eating at Keys Fisheries in Marathon. Fun dockside dining.
October 14, 2022 at 7:57 am #2152590I have 2015 3.5 eco.
I’ve noticed a rattle when moving at low speeds. Sounds like it’s coming from the exhaust. Was thinking it was a loose heat guard or something.Is that the Phaser?
I don’t know what a bad phaser sounds like but I had an exhaust shield rattle on my 2013. Easy fix to replace a rusted off hose clamp that was holding down one end of a heat shield.
August 29, 2022 at 8:30 am #2144122The chances of having a quality non-conference opponent on the schedule greatly decreased when the Big 10 went from eight to nine conference games a few years ago.
July 31, 2022 at 5:31 pm #2138601Thanks for the reports! We will be camping on Namakan starting Saturday. Did you pull spinners or just straight lindy rig? We seem to favor spinners but then again some days we don’t catch much!
April 30, 2022 at 5:48 pm #2120597Great stories. My best memories are rooted in good times on the water with people that aren’t here anymore or are no longer able to get out. To go back and relive some of those times knowing what I know now would be beyond priceless.
Oh and the smell of grandpa’s tackle box. He passed away before I ever knew him so my only tangible, physical connection to him was that tackle box.
April 24, 2022 at 6:56 am #2118669I have heard it’s very common for cheap 12v plug USB adapters to cause large amounts of radio frequency interference. They will even interfere with the signal from your car tire’s TPMS causing false warnings lights on your dashboard.
Maybe try a different USB adapter if you can or consider charging your remote from a portable battery pack. Perhaps a decent permanently mounted USB outlet would be better behaved but I’d want to test it out before installing it.
April 14, 2022 at 10:04 am #2116289Fuses and ordinary circuit breakers do not protect electronics from surges. They prevent your wiring from melting or catching fire if you get a short circuit.
April 13, 2022 at 6:49 am #2115928I came across this very well done video of a boat tour up the Eastern side of Lake of the Woods starting at Wheelers Point, through Morson, to Nestor Falls, through Turtle Portage, to Sioux Narrows, through Reed Narrows, up Long Bay past Yellow Girl point to Kenora. It’s not a fishing show but fun to watch if you like the lake.
They make a shore stop at the site of a WWII prisoner of war lumber camp North of Yellow Girl Point. My father, his dad and grandfather used to camp at that location in the early 50’s using the lumber camp’s abandon cook shack as their cabin.
April 6, 2022 at 5:37 pm #2114445I see on Scheels web site the Fenwick HMG is going to a new blank this year and is $20 or so higher than last year. I haven’t seen one of the new ones yet. There are probably still some of the previous versions available at the $100 price but your choices may be limited.
March 28, 2022 at 6:44 am #2111334Is this 20hp your main engine or is it a kicker?
I have a 9.9 Tohatsu kicker that I found quite a bit of water in the oil (not 2 quarts!) after I left it in the down position and drug it through the water at 30 mph for an embarrassing number of miles. I took it to the dealer and they checked it over and found nothing wrong other than the diluted oil. It has continued to run fine for me for six years since without any more oil issues so it had to have been the dragging it at high speed that caused the dilution.

March 20, 2022 at 7:27 pm #2109308Now and then it appears to make a little headway. It’s currently just above Maple Springs. I bet it’s burning through a lot of fuel!
The other two look like they are waiting just below Reads Landing.
