Topic: Hopeville today

[thefinaltimeout]

 My son and I hit Hopeville today for about 3 hours . Started out with the main motor quiting out . Come to find out I noticed the volt meter was reading low then the battery went dead . Figured out I had a bad fuse on the on board charger so the battery never got charged up . We started to fish in places we never fish and my son got 2 with the largest being around 2.5 , I got nothing ( bad attitude )   I did miss a few nice hits . But to tell you the truth it felt good having the boy bust my stones about him beating me  It made his day

Too bad the boat had problems. Good to spend quality father son time though. I have to fish that place someday. I hear you have to be carefull in your boat though with lots of hazards. You'll get them next time.

Well the boat motor drove me nuts for about 2 weeks . I had a friend who is a Merc Tec come over today and check it out . I had gone over everything I could on my own . He was there for about 5 min and found a loose conection at a plug and bang everything went back to normal , At least I now know where to look if it ever happens again Later Bill

Don't you hate it when that happens?

At least it was an easy fix though

I had soemting like that happen to me and Chris Med  at the Amos night tounie Husky put togehter last yr. We had to fish from 8:30 until 1am without a trolling motor only to find out my  wing nut was lose in the battery. Talk about feeling like a knukklehead...lol

Nice to see the boy whip up on you like that
