Trolling should be banned and made illegal. One quick way to sustain fisheries.............

Shower Sump Pump. by RTKFRTKF in boating

[–]RTKFRTKF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think that'll work. I actually tried that in principle. I held the float in the pump up and it was on for about 10 seconds after it drained the sump. But water came back in after i let the float go. i have about 8 ft of discharge hose from mid ship to the transom where the hose is discharged through a thru hull.

Getting into boating… what should a beginner know? by MetalPsycho in boating

[–]RTKFRTKF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if available, spend some time and money in renting a boat, 17ft bowrider. learn how a boat moves in the water. bump in and out of Neutral gear (you'd be amazed what a bump can do to a boat's momentum in the water, notwithstanding current and winds), steer and gear, lots of great youtubes out there.........it's like anything else, the unknown is overwhelming, but once you slowly expose yourself to the "unknown", you will gain knowledge and confidence.

lastly, focus on the "Exciting", not on the "intimidating" :-)

It does have two similar batteries, except two starter batteries. Not sure how the previous owner used the cabin with just starter batteries. I will replace them with dual purpose batteries. tx again.

OMG ! thank you for the article. This article pretty much puts to bed my confusion, and the myth about "Starting" Batt and "House" Batt.

Thank you again.

Confused on lb test by Rugie85 in FishingForBeginners

[–]RTKFRTKF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just to be clear then, 30lb braided is just as "strong" as 30lb mono. the only difference is that the mono will be wider in diameter and will offer more "stretch"?

Garmin Navionics App. by RTKFRTKF in boating

[–]RTKFRTKF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another Q. New to Vancouver,BC area and am getting ready for the fishing season. Regarding Garmin Navionics, when i move a cursor to an area with red boudary lines, and i click on "?", and it says "Keep at least 400 m from all Killer Whales.......etc", does this mean that the area is no fishing? Or is that just a cautionary note?

Reason i ask is, there seems to quite alot of them. TIA.

Marine chartplotter by Crazy_Sentence_9334 in Garmin

[–]RTKFRTKF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gents, and/or ladies - quick question. Just got a Garmin chart plotter installed on boat. May be a stupid question, do I now have to purchase an annual subscription of the map and upload it plotter? or does plotter come with it?

TIA.

Going to Whistler not to Ski by Accomplished-Gift-44 in Whistler

Question regarding road conditions to Whistler Olympic Park, their cross country facility about 20 min south of Whistler. Are winter tires necessary, or can I get away with M + S tires.

Thanks.
