I switch gears and work on Q'n meat, fish (walleye is great smoked)veggies etc. I have done probably 8 mod's to my horizontal smoker, donated that to a friend who's been dying to get into Q'n. Bought a bullit smoker, at least that many mod's to that but I think I have it dialed on now. This past weekend was able to maintain 220 to 225 for 14 hrs even in those 40 MPH winds. Plan on building a UDS or 2 before open water. Not that I don't smoke alot of food, but this time of year I'm usually doing it every sat and sunday. My boat is in the garage, so I see it everyday collecting dust.
Hold on Jim...I still need to put on a coat of bottom paint, build my rod holders, and various other things......doesn't seem like there's enough time left lol. BUT, I can't wait to wet the first line this spring......ready or not.

Jim, I've been so bored that I've been looking at auto-pilots online.....now you know somethings wrong! $$$$$ ouch!
Its a good thing I squeak when I walk..hah ha
Ron,
I'm in the process of ordering an auto pilot. I'll call you to discuss this, the dealer is offering a boat show special $2400

I fully agree Jim, I almost cried when I seen the temps thinking the lake is going to lock up with ice.( no bad intention for ice fisherman).
Yes, give me a shout some evening. 2400 sound super if your getting all 4 components. I have only found something for a mechanical steering for 3800 plus tax. It seems like the hydro-steering pilots run about 1000 less- oh well, live an learn(fish). later on ron.
Hey kev....you staying warm up there with that jagermister stuff this winter?
Come on greg you should have that stuff done by now its only 2 months away. when you plan on putting that boat in the water. I 2 am behind just pulled my boat in to add auto pilot, and a couple new secret fish catching goodies.
Ron spend that money you know its worth it. more time winding and less time driving.

Now I'm jealous lol...maybe autopilot next year...been working on finishing the mud room in our house or I would have had the boat stuff done...I like to feel the pressure lol
Fish Tails which auto polit are you looking at? I have a 2150 Lund with a 225 opt and a 9.9 kicker, have been looking at the Raymarine S1000 or the Gramin TR-1. Any input form anyone on either units would be help. I just have to much time on my hands right now and am thinking to much...
I must stay off ebay
Thanks FL

I have purchased a Raymarine T70079 which comes with the P70R head, X-10 computer, type 1 pump and wiring. The dealer talked me into a M81188 linear rudder reference which he claims will improve the system at trolling speed.
I ordered the system through Riverfront Yachts in Cleveland at 216-861-7393. They have an electronics expert his names Dave he's helped me in the past ans seems to know his stuff.
The reason I went to this system is it's the same unit Skipper 9 has less remote. His system perform well and since I have a center console I don't see a need for the remote.
Fish Tales,
Kevin
Looking at the S1000 myself. Have read good reports about them. The price sure is right.
FT what size boat are you running??
26' Proline center console
We all know that is imposible. I have never seen a empty cooler on that boat. I have however seen the cooler be to small and the fish were overflowing out of it and the lid wouldnt shut.Quote:

Reeltime i to have been looking hard at that model the only thing that i cant find out is will it work at very slow speeds. only seen 1 bad review so far. it will hook right into my hds 10 and work of it. if you find any horable info out give me a call. wish i personnaly knew someone that had one but there still pretty new on the market.
Went for a ride along the lake today and spotted this guy poking holes around the shove ice,I miss being on the lake but this is scary.
