A simple answer - Quite possibly. The best way to find out is to load your boat in a typical fashion you normally would when going to your fishing areas. Operate your boat at Wide Open Throttle & check your motors RPM with a tach. Compare this to your motor's WOT rating. If you are not reaching ...

Brett: South of Toronto is a big area. Can you narrow this down a bit. It's 4 hrs. form Toronto to Windsor. Lots of good spots.

It depends on the individual police forces if their officers will enforce the fishing regs. Although all police officers in Ontario have the authority to enforce the fishing regs some forces may not want them to. If any charges laid by a police officer are fought in court the police officer will be ...

I found bearing buddies tend to work all right for the outside bearings but are of little use getting grease to the inside bearings. Many people think that by pumping some grease into the bearing buddies, they are good to go year after year only to have the inside bearing seize.

Lake Nipissing - Northwest Bay?

I have booked a week of camping & fishing at the start of July (plant shutdown). Will be staying at Panorama Camp. I've never fished this part of Nipissing before & was wondering if anyone knows the area and can give me a few tips.

Thanks in advance: Rick

I have a 1967, 40 hp Johnson. I have not had problems with the controls. As for replacement parts your local UAP/NAPA dealer can order in many parts from thier marine catalogue. Generally at quite good prices.

Good Luck: Rick

For you motor they list tune-up kits, coils, carb kits, impellers, thermostats, needle bearings, head...

The only one they checked for a lience was the guy who went to the dam for a leak. Too cold or tough of a climb over the rocks to chec...

Glow in the dark lures sure help in other areas. Charge the lures with a camera flash.
