Got me thinkin bout it, so I looked it up. Ting ting is a Chinese name for girls which means; "slim and graceful".
Ah, yeah...That's exactly how she is and how I see her! Perfect name, right dear?
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

The motor is sick from e-10 setting in the carborators for years, rebuild kits are around $60.00. I need to get a 3rd job to buy a new Honda 40hp ($7000) as I feel it is not cost effective to dump too much into a 32 year old 2 stroke.  I might convert my Honda 9.9 from extra long shaft to long shaft and use it until I have the funds.

Today I installed the Lorance DHS7 Gen3 chart plotter and mounted 2 of the transducers and started on the Garmin.  The onboard battery charger is hung and needs to be wired.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

The lowrance is wired and ready, I need to pull the transducer out of the other boat and finish the Garmin.



More wires to do.

Finished the motor install and l am 7 hours into the 8 hour break in.  On Friday I scored a little used pair of Scotty Strongarm downriggers with swivel bases and 3 balls for less than the price of the bases and 3 jars of honey.  I could have got it for the honey but the new price for what I got would have been over $600 so I made him take some $.  Today I will be mounting them aft of the Scotty electric downriggers I had.... no more PIA stacking when kokanee fishing.

She's looking good Lee.  That lake sure looks pretty, too.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Looks like a winner! Crazy thing, there's a yellow one around here with that same motor. They pulled in two kings the other day.

Troll speed for 15 minutes, 900-3000 Tom for 2 hours changing RPM often and no more than 1/2 of the time at 3000 RPM.  Then 900-4000 with short bursts up to 5000 RPM, again changing RPM often.  I am now running full throttle for shore periods of time.  One more hour and it is done.
