I did notice some erratic shifting for the first 20 miles or so but it came out of it and worked great. I am guessing it takes a few miles of towing to re-learn shift points?

Anyway trip was good. Fishing on the other-hand....... Sucked!
That's why they call it fishing and not catching.

hahahaha.........I hear ya. To me it's not about the catching it's about being there for what mother nature has to offer. Catching fish is a bonus 'cause I release them most of the time anyway. Species doesn't matter. It's the pull on the string.

Right ON Partsman!
I am an active Walleye fisherman and love it. I spend as much time as I can out on the water and agree with you 100%. The 15th was probably the best day on the water I had all year. It was 75 to 85 deg. all day with a crisp morning, 5 to 15mph breeze most of the day and the sun was shining. Perfect day on the water by anybodys measure.

I guess someone just forgot to tell the fish it was such a nice day :0) I am headed to the river in a week to give the Walleyes a run so life is good! I can make it through a week of work with that on the other end!

Take Care!
