    Gave you a sub Bro, I run a fishing charter out of Sooke BC. My downriggers take a fair amount of abuse over the season. The late model Scotty's are the bomb, the high-speed modern models drop cannonballs with one wrong move. :)

      Thanks, Allan! I appreciate the support, hope it helped you out. I agree! The countless reports of "counters" failing on the new ones are unbelievable. I've yet to lose balls on the new one, but I have lost clips! They move way too fast.. mind you, it was on a friend's boat, but definitely a yes on the older model. Maybe I should make more how-to vids on the downrigger? Tightlines!!

      Yes, unfortunately, it's a small lake. It's a very productive lake despite the annoyance of the sports boats. I'm still confused about why they like to go to such a small lake. As for my preference for lakes for fishing... it's quite an open question since there's so many, lol. Region 2, kawkawa, and alouette are my choices for my particular boat. Prior to the boat upgrade, I enjoyed Hicks and Jones Lake very much. I also like the fishery in Kamloops/Merritt. I frequent Stump Lake and enjoyed lac le Jeune once. Highway 24, Cariboo is another favorite area. We enjoyed the Sulphurous lake, Watch lake, and visited Lac des Roches once, but it wasn't productive that time. Next, we'd like to visit Deka and Sheridan. So many lakes to try and not enough time 😅. What's your favourite?

      I hope it works out! I recall leaving a link in the description section for the electrical drawings if you want to troubleshoot further. Let me know how you do, and I'm more than happy to assist if you need anything else. Tightlines!

      ​@@bbtvfishingismyhappyplace I must have a very old unit as the reed switch is 'L' shaped. I'll probably have to replace the whole switch assembly. Btw, I placed a stronger magnet near the reed switch and the motor worked. Probably a failing reed switch but I'll replace the whole switch.

      @bbtvfishingismyhappyplace Місяць тому

      When you're camping via "back country," it's first come, first serve. These spots are not bookable. You have to find your own spot. It's a great option as the bookable spots are usually full and crowded. $5 per person was the price we paid on the alouette booking website. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching, like & subscribe, if u haven't yet, good luck! 😊

    • @bbtvfishingismyhappyplace
      @bbtvfishingismyhappyplace 2 місяці тому

      It's recommended to change it every time.9 hours? Is that what the manual recommends on the first oil change? I change mine once a year, and it's definitely way more than 9 hours of use.

      In that case, it's probably ok to reuse it at 9 hours. Just make sure to torque that bolt properly and send it! Good luck and tightlines!

      Hi, HREC! Thanks for reaching out. Don't get too down on yourself. It's a part of the learning process, and you will now be armed with knowledge in case it happens again. Besides, now that you're able to run, it doesn't mean it's fully fixed. You'll still need to get to the root of why your injectors fouled. I had a fuel contamination issue. My fill was taking on water due to poor design. I put the fill on a 4 inch riser and I've had no issue since. Hope that helps. Best of luck and happy boating!
