fishfry yes I was just below the dam for a while. Too crowded for me. It looked like the Wal Mart parking lot down there. I will go back on week days from now own, I am retired and can go any time. I just live 5 minutes from the Keno Dam. I didn't have any luck, couldn't find a good spot open.

Sometimes I catch myself bitching about rules and regulations and then I see something like this and feel like an idiot. nuff said.

Well I am glad to be back on the forum again, been off for quite a while. Been reading fishfry's post. Very entertaining. Klamath river opens Saturday. I think I will try it out.

Can anyone tell me how to affix the registration numbers on a sevylor 360? or what the Oregon law is? Someone told me you have to paint them on but you have to do it every 6 months or so. That sounds bogus. Jim

They are not thick enough on the sides to accept a rod holder like that. I will have to look into some other type. Thanks Cody. Jim

Does anyone know a way to repair Vinyl? My upholstery has some sun damage along the top.

Caveman I didn't get to fish this week-end. I have to register my boat tomorrow and if I have time I will be out there. Jim

Thanks Kawasakii9, I sure would like to get in some fishing, All I have done lately is mess with boats.

Yeah mine don't have the blue hoses. I see you have the reservoir for the gear lube. If mine has one I don't know where it is. Any way I was reading on a Mercruiser forum about just draining the block. Some of the guys were saying they don't trust just draining the block. They say all of the...
