Yes I could, of course it is quite a bit more driving to get there from Tucson. So, the question is: extra miles on the road or extra miles on the water. I'll figure it out. How is the ramp in Halls?

It is a long way up to Cedar cny.but we'll give it a try if we launch as planned

Anyone planning on it? Alain

Glad you figured it out, it could have put a big dent in the enjoyment of the trip. Another "Moral Of the Story": keep fuel supply separate for kicker and Main :wink: How is it up there? I am thinking of heading up in a couple weeks or so. Keep track of the good spots and share. Alain

I am also thinking September/October, it has cooled down some by then and the crowds are much thinner. coming from Tucson I usually launch at wahweap or the ramp by the campground. Here is a website worth keeping an eye on though: https://www.nps.gov/glca/april-2020-wah ... mp-faq.htm

Colby, you need the head window screen and the Port aft one, correct? Email me, alainprovostt37 AT gmail DOT com with a mailing address. Alain

Yes, that is the exact set up i have, works very well, never had the hook slip off the chain even in the La Paz anchorage where opposing wind and tides can lay havoc with your tackle. Your chain might still wrap around your anchor though if you stay there long enough,

Bob, I have been using the one on the third picture of your post ("A more secure version") on my 1/4" chain with very good results, I think i got it from Defender.

Screens are a must. Surely someone out there fabricates custom size frames, I could send you a full scale pattern if ever needed.

A space in the bunks to run sling straps is nice to have if a crane is ever used.

Ah, Tom! it is tempting if for nothing else than to get away from all the wild fires around here. I thought there would be no Isle Royal this year until your post today june 23rd. Too little time to prepare and travel plus my trailer is incapacitated and under major remodeling. Good fishing, Alain

Colby, thanks for the offer but I already have all the pieces , I think. I got the Hydrastar actuator kit from etrailer and a Tekonsha controller. You are right, figuring out where and how so secure the stuff is the real challenge. I am building a small platform out of 1/4" aluminum for the...

Starting to install EOH on my LoadRite! Might take some time, lots to deal with.

Get the official shop manual, full of great info about your motor, worth every penny especially the day you will have to start messing with your water pump impeller.

I just looked Solas Rubex line of props, and..yes, that's what that insert is for, chatter and vibration! Damn, i should have gone that way just didn't know. Maybe we'll see you on lake powell? Alain

Colby, are you getting that noise at low rpms with the 13?

Thanks everyone, I am ordering the LSL Toad charger.

Towed vehicle charger, I am thinking of installing one of those to keep the fridge going while on the road. I looked at a few brands, $80 to $ 100 seems to be the range for a 10 amp charger kit, Hard to find good reviews from actual owners though, Anyone has one? Any comments on particular...

Colby, I found out two things, the gain in rpm at WOT seemed very modest but the noise it produced at low rpms was very annoying, The noise was like a rattling can full of gravel and would disappear at around 1900 rpm. i do too much displacement speed while cruising and fishing to put up with...

Looking at the picture of your roller, I would say it should work. Just take it easy and go slow the first few times you use the windlass especially as the anchor nears the roller.
