croixflats Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh, that smell! Why don't they make that into an after shave for special occasions. Couldn'T agree more them Yamaha's have the sweetest sound, specially trimmed out buzzing across the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm going to pull the boat out tomrrow and get her charged up. Fire it up Friday hopefully and listen to that merc purrrrr.

jwhjr Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I pulled mine into the garage from the back yard yesterday. I have one more ice fishing trip this upcoming weekend, but it won't be long now until the boat is on the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Head Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I pulled mine out of storage last week and have it in the garage at home now. It was a great weekend working on the boat in the garage. Just getting ready for the season gets the juices flowing! Weather permitting, I'll be on the Rainy River next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc0myy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I pullled my boat out today. It started up fine with 1 quick shot of starting fuild (I primed the carb and it did not fire on full choke at 1st). but after that she just purrred I took some deep creep and killed her that way. waited for a few mins and fired right up again. but it was running fine no problems so far. I just can't wait to get her in the water and also try out my new x67c in my boat (i brought the ice pack and I want to try it in my boat.

fasternu Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I was just about to go get mine, but 3 inches of snow and temps around 5 degrees won out. Will spring ever get here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croixflats Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Looking mine over the other day well lets say lots of water in it that became ice block. Fuel tank and batteries encased in ice. Got the big budy going under the cover thawing it out 2 days now. Making head way.Note to self pull drain plug when storing out side and need bigger garage...

Charley Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hope your batteries are still good. They can freeze when the charge is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croixflats Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 That's my concern to. They were fully charged and they don't appear to be bulging. Fingers crossed, the trolling motor is still under warranty so I will be good there, thankfully.Just checked lots of power behind the starter battery. Power trim goes up and down no problem. Man that ice melts slow but the big buddy is doing its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I leave mine outside to in the winter but leave the onboard charger plugged in or take the batterys out and store in the basement. Hit the key on it a couple weeks ago she popped right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
