deer river/talmoon area

Looks to be ~ 75 yds of open water today @ WN.

[Gunner55]

Looks like it's starting to open up to east a little more today. Did you figure out your livewell & bilge problems on the boat before you took it in or not? Motor wouldn't start or wouldn't even turn over?

[glenn57]

Yep. Got that figured out. Motor got me stumped. It worked like no tomorrow when I took it to the river last fall when I ran stabil threw the system and fogged it. It had to bee that goofy push button starter button.

[Gunner55]

 So what was the issue with the bilge & livewell? A bad wire? Almost sounded like a bad ground at the switch to me, would've been the 1st place I looked to see if they used the same ground.

cleaned up the inline fuse. Cleaned off the connection to the battery better.

[Gunner55]

 So they weren't getting any power.                                          

[glenn57]

Pretty much, have to admit it's been a while since I have had to do a bit more than just clean up terminals. I never did like that starter button. Seems the springs in it get weak???? Although as long as I've had the boat, should the issue be the button it'll be the second time I have had to do something with it

We put a dab of some dielectric grease on the posts of all our boat batteries. A small tube at l & m is < $3 & it really seems to help stop things from getting corroded. Our TM batteries are in the bow & it gets quite a bit wetter up there. Used it inside inline fuseholders that have gotten damp too. A little tube goes a long way.  Kind of sounds like a bad design on that switch on your motor with havin to fix it twice.

And that's just what you should always do.

Yea to me it's a real screwed up design.

[Gunner55]

The west side of the Narrows hasn't changed much today, it has opened more goin the other way though. There's a pretty decent puddle at the end of Geiger's ramp today.

[Gunner55]

Much of the west side is lookin pretty dark today, like most of it could go in the next few days. Not a lot of change from yday on the other side.

[glenn57]

  decisions decisions. checked the weather forecast for up there this weekend, looks promising. Or do I chance it and wait another week?? last thing I wanna do is head up there with rain in the forecast. would need more beer then.

I gotz letters to deliver.

[Gunner55]

  Might have to switch to a cheaper beer, like Busch light. 

[Rebel SS]

That ain't beer; that's bunny piss. Grab a 12 pk and head as far away as ya can.

Better look a little harder for that FRIENDLY 5 year old.    

[glenn57]

[Gunner55]

  Was wondering if you wouldn't. You did tell 'em that was the issue when you took it in, right? They might be able to walk you through it so it'll work.
