Pulled tank out and looks fine. Taking to be checked at tank shop. Bad smell of gas in boat but no gas in bilge. The fill house and vent hose looked good also. Found a couple loose clamps and think that might have been problem. Pulled tank for nothing. Changed fuel line to engine last year. Other than that boat is running good. Put 27hrs on it this weekend and ran some six foot waves home Saturday night. When I got to fuel dock a couple guys I passed on the way in complimented me on the way she rode and that they couldn't keep up.
Big D. I'm curious. What do you use for the Salmon? I fish Lake Ontario for Salmon with downriggers and J-plugs with rattles... Usually yellow/green or red/black or green/black. with and without bucktails. Curious what you use for Salmon on Lake Superior. What depth do you normally catch them at?
It's been a slow season for me for salmon. Usually just 4 inch or 5 inch spoons no flasher. We use Dipsy divers too quite a bit. Have been catching them this year between 25 and 50 ft. Very slow this year.
I usually use a flasher about 3 feet in front of the plug. Seems to work well. Agree on the slow this year. Most of our catches are around 40 feet. running 10lb downrigger fish shaped weights, no paint.
Long story short, had to change head this summer due to bad exhaust valve. Did it with boat in water. Hard time getting head gaskets and intake gasket. Job went smoothly with a donor head.
