Re: Reusing gaskets?

Gaskets that were under compression should never be reused. You might get away with it and you may not. If the gasket is easy to get at, you can try it and see if it leaks.

If the gasket is internal or hard to replace, you should go with new.

Good luck

Re: Question 2017 20hp Merc

The fuel leak is probably a loose connection. You'll have to remove the cowl and look for it. Pump the bulb and it may show. If not run the motor in water and look for the leak. Wipe everything dry with paper towels and look for the wet. Hopefully something is loose. If the leak started in conjuncti...

Re: Terrova or xi5

I've had a Powerdrive v2 i-pilot for 7 years and it's great. Just bought a new one with the upgrades. I had two issues with the Powerdrive. I managed to crack a shaft which was replaced, no problem. I also wore out the rubber buttons on my controller. The new controller has replaceable parts. The Pr...

Re: Bug Attack!!!!

If they're really bad I'd opt for a good bug suit. They work well and are easy to carry. You can get hoods that you can wear your hat under.

The advantages are that they're 100% effective, no chemicals on your skin, can't get a bug suit in your eyes and they don't melt plastic or damage clothing.

Re: Oil pressure light not turning on! Help?

I'm guessing that when you installed your batteries you may have inadvertently grounded your battery popping a fuse on your motor.
I did that a couple of years ago. New fuse, good to go.

Re: Boat registration ownership / boat ID

I'd call Service Canada. They can be very helpful. I had a old boat that I restored. New transom board, seats and paint. The HIN was missing but Service Canada said I had done enough work to qualify as home build and they let me licence it.

Re: Bowfishing For Carp

Carp shooting is a hoot. I used a cheap compound with low draw weight. Had a roller rest, one of those reels where the line is spooled in a plastic bottle and fiberglass arrows. It worked great. You only need one sight pin as the range is short. A couple of tips. To set up you pin using a foam dinne...

Re: Cabelas Eskimo shelters on sale

The $599. regular price should be for the Insulated Quickfish 3i. If it's the insulated Quickfish then $299.99 is a decent price. The Quickfish 3 is sold on Amazon for $250.00 plus tax and free delivery. It's shipped by Amazon. I got mine in a week. The sale price for the Quickfish 3 at Canadian Tir...

Re: Bay of Quinte Ice Conditions

Check Quintefishing.com. Lot's of open water around the Bay.

There are some guy's reporting good ice and then subsequent posts say they're wrong. I wouldn't jump on the first post.

February is suppose to be cold, so hopefully thing will tighten up.

Re: North and South Beaver Lake Erinsville Ont

Was up there yesterday. A few shacks out but not near the Beaver Lake Park off 41. Most were further east down the lake. A few ATV's on the ice. No idea how thick the ice is.
