Ah! As I said, I don't get around much. (Nor do I remember much, apparently!) Where do you see it around here, Duke?

I got reel lazy this year. Honda is still attached to da boat. It's sitting outside. Tires still on the trailer. Didnt jack it up and take the tires off. Sonar/gps, both still on the boat. Bow mount used to come off. Not this year. Tansducers still on the boat. Gas tank and batteried too. Batteries are plugged in. I read that they will keep their charge in cold weather, not discharge like they would in the basement. Gas tank is almost topped off. Use Stabil in it. The local Wesco station has 10 % ethanol but I had to ask about ti as it is not on the pump. About 2 years they have been selling it, as long as one employee had worked there anyway. Must be something about the big birthday in October and my back that had me thinking of all the things I had done to the boat the past couple of winters. Those days are done...

Can't remember where I've seen it Lansing, I don't really pay attention and I don't frequent the same gas stations so that my movements cannot be patterned

I pull it all. Store graphs in warmer areas than outside. Liquid crystal Graphs and Gps can get damaged by extreme cold. Mike

The Lowrance manual states that temps betwenn 20 below and 165 F are within operating extremes. Milder tomorrow. Could bring them in for a slow warm up. I fished Turkey Day and brought it home in the rain. I kept delaying the last day of fishing. I really thought I would get out again. Then the snows got me. Seems like a lifetime ago after the last few weeks of winter. I have particle board accross the boat with a pair of tarps over that. I have kept it plugged in all but a few days. Got a barn with some extra room Mike???
