    One of my daughters friends parents bought her a brand new car, for her first car. 4 days later a kitten ran out in front of her (so she claims) and she took the car over a hillside, totalling it. Her parents just went right out and got her another one 🙄 And what does the kid do? She rear-ends a road grader with it, and it is currently still in the body shop. That's 2 BRAND NEW cars in less than 2 months. Nobody is dead YET......so I guess that's good.

    She'll just have to get better at talking others into taking her wherever she wants to go, until she can improve her depth perception, and realize the value of the things she can destroy without a care in the world. How many fenders, mailboxes, and retaining walls are YOU willing to pay for ? 😅

    My youngest daughter just got hers too..... but I've decided that she is NOT ready. I don't give a darn what the inspectors say, she isn't leaving this property behind the wheel of a vehicle until I am convinced that she is safe. Had no problems at all with the other two.....but this one here is quite a challenge. Some people just shouldn't drive, and unless there's someone in their life that has the balls to declare that.....at the expense of "hurting their feelings"......bad things are gonna happen.

    Pushing a kid, who doesn't want to drive, to drive......is a HUGE MISTAKE. The reason that I hate to drive anywhere nowadays is because you can't just relax and cruise anymore. Too many idiots on the road that I feel like I have to constantly defend myself against.

    Actually they were originally designed to operate like a drywall anchor, to fasten the unit when you can't get to the underside for attaching a washer & nut. That was fine back before trolling motors weighed 200 pounds 🙄 Isolating from grounding to the hull wasn't a THING back then. 😅 And still isn't....unless you're a new-age punk who's all concerned about RF interference on your Forward Facing Sonar unit. 🙄

    You would ALSO ground the unit to the cranking battery. You are not depending on the cranking battery to supply the ground connection for the FFS circuit. You are merely connecting the negative (-) side of the FFS circuitry to the engine..... which is in contact with the water at all times. They could have easily included a ground into the transducer harness, to serve the same function, but they didn't.....or haven't YET. (probably in an attempt to eliminate/lessen RF noise distortion from the trolling motor)

    It is best NOT TO. Keeping those two circuits as isolated from each other as humanly possible will result in a better overall system. Almost impossible on an aluminum boat.....but not entirely impossible..... A rubber inner tube gasket between the trolling motor and the boat hull, and using MOTORGUIDE mounting hardware can accomplish the task.
  9. fishinwrench
    It is merely a jumper wire which creates continuity from the ground of your FFS unit to the negative terminal of your engine cranking battery. And NOT the trolling motor ground. Isolating those two ground circuits helps to eliminate feedback noise (distortion) when operating the trolling motor.

    I have attempted to use it on tricky mechanical issues. I've found it to be obviously commercialized. But that might improve with time.

    My default tippet size for everything warm-water flyfishing related is 8# fluorocarbon. I only drop down to 6# or 4# for Crappie & Bluegill. And upside to 12# for bass around heavy cover.

    That's all that those illegal drug-smuggling crackheads are doing......Just actively choosing to coexist. 😅

    You really can't, unless you could lay the motor on its side and allow it time to ooze out. I have a vacuum pump with a hose, but was only able to retrieve about 1/2 cup of it. Plenty remained. It's thick and doesn't suck out well at all, even when warm (it actually never gets warm there). I have a theory that it is a buildup of condensation. Doesn't matter I guess, since those motors aren't likely to live past 8-12 years anyway. 😅

    When you change your oil, check for this BELOW the drain plug. So far, every single one that I have Serviced/Winterized has had it..... Not Good.

    That's OnlyFans, not Facebook 😅 Where the REAL cougars hang out. Don't start shooting THOSE or there won't be anyone left to teach in the elementary schools.
  16. fishinwrench
    I agree. Just kill it.....and keep quiet about it ! My wife can't even do her nails, bake a pie, or pot a houseplant, without parading it on Facebook. 🙄 It wouldn't surprise me if everyone following her doesn't know how many pairs of panties she has.

    Tom tied his not splayed apart....but scissored like a shad tail. (for what it's worth)..

    Say whatever makes you feel good,.... BUT the odds that you won't just see a mountain lion "just passing by & minding its own business" at less than 50 yards, is WAY more rare than an actual ATTACK by one. At least that's MY understanding. If you SEE one within easy shooting range, then there's a really good chance that it saw/heard/smelled YOU first.....and is there because it is CLOSING IN ON your @$$. If any court tries to fine them.....THAT would be a good argument. 👍

    Old Man Tom Able used to fish a fly just like that. His had 2 hackle tails on it. He used to put on a clinic below Norfork dam. 👍

    I have a cousin that recently married one. Been a bonafide U.S. citizen for less than a year. She's smokin' hot, and her English is getting better. She's never eaten chicken.
  21. fishinwrench
    Yep, we've named that motor....Rudolph ! 💰 She pulls Santa's sleigh .

    When the stuff doesn't even kill weeds you know it's gotta be bad for a fuel injection system. On that particular engine it took out the high pressure pump, the lift pump, 2 injectors @ 400.00 apiece, and enough labor to pay for Christmas 😉

    It's ETHANOL FREE ! 👍 😅

    Atta boy ! 👍 😉

    Doesn't take a master-tech to diagnose that one. Does it ?
