I have an old Eagle fish finder which just quite. It had speed, depth, water temp and voltage. It is still turning on but the screen is blank. Time for a new one. I don't have a ton of money to spend on getting a new one. I've been looking at a few of them but some look like they are only good...

This past Saturday. Wasn’t expecting it as the bridge is usually empty. Luck of the draw.

It was not a real perfect day with forest fire smoke still around along with low temps. But the incredible timing I had as I came down the river, captured a CP Rail train crossing the Niagara River from Black Rock to Fort Erie, Canada. Captured on camera. Made my day.

video is working now. Nice.

My old fish finder with depth has worked continuously at any speed or depth. Unfortunately, it has “retired “ and a new one is needed. It appears from this thread that a gps unit does not provide depth while moving. Seems kind of a waste.

Throttle up!

The first time I ever saw those “duck boats” with the bow bending down, never liked them for the potential of ducking under the wave. I have no idea if this is legal or not but it’s definitely irresponsible and stupid.

I believe we are chatting about dirty water rather than growth. Bottom paint is for growth protection. I had good bottom treatment but its been out of production for awhile. I think bottom paint would be overkill if your boat is out or the water 90% of the time.

That's interesting. I never had much of a line while in a slip. Water was pretty clean. But this year, my first launch was in the Erie Canal, very slow current and it was during the time the trees were blooming and all that "tree stuff" started piling up at the ramp. When I pulled the boat out...

I get it now. The drag from the tabs helps override the spill off the prop. What is the speed limitation on full down tabs? In most areas of the Erie Canal is 10mph.

No I never put them on. I don’t understand how trim tabs can stop or lower the left and right yaw movement. I thought the tabs were for bow up or down or leveling a list.

I've been contemplating on whether to switch my prop to see if it would reduce the annoying yawing action my boat has. Any speed below plane [~21mph] its a constant back and forth.

You're selling it?

Before I had my current F150, I was dealing with my brothers 1996 Bronco. When it worked, it worked great but it was always something going wrong with it. If I had something repaired, sometimes within 24 hours something else would break. So far, I haven't had any problems while the boat is...

This is the east side of Lake Erie still weeks away from official boating season along with very calm winds……and cold. No kayakers as they usually stick to the Black Rock Canal or the Buffalo River. There are always a couple of knuckleheads around here but it doesn’t compare to what you...

In today's environment, this could be somebodies brother!

An annoying part of our summer season is the kayakers. 20 years ago or more Buffalo didn't have much going on downtown at the water front. My dad and I use to take his boat and go up the Buffalo River. Back than, no such thing as a kayaker. We'd cruise past all the abandoned grain silos leaving...

I'll stay on the trailer. To many crazy's and therefore accidents. It only takes one......

I launched for the first time yesterday. I launched into the Erie Canal. Nice and calm. Spent 2.5hrs, cruising around. Raised and lowered the drive. Inspected the drive when I got home and the paint I applied is untouched. So, I'm thinking this was part of the repair in 2018, But I did find out...
