boat to New Melones lake for some bass and trout fishing. Bass
fishing with my new rod, was bad. Not a bite on drop shot and Senko’s.
So went to trolling for trout and Kokanee. First fish I catch is a
small bass. Karma I guess. Kept a couple nice rainbows, released
small ones and couple small Kokanee. First afternoon, coming in to
the dock, luckily was going slow and put in reverse to stop boat and
no reverse. Luckily when I hit ramp, was still slow and is a heavy
duty aluminum boat. Shift cable end rod broke. So next day, only
used big motor to go long distance and then ran kicker for trolling.
Nice day, 80 degrees, water was 73. Went to the lake, which is 2
hour drive instead of to the bay, 20 minutes away as we seem to have
the wind machine on full blast of the month of May. Is doing wonders
for the ocean and salmon, as huge up welling. Sounds like a good
time, even with the problem. Hopefully repairs won't set you back
much. -- Freedom Isn't Free! $225. Cable on way. Working on Grey
water of camper. Valve not shuttingoff all the way. Found a piece of
plastic from the construction of thecamper in the line. Big piece, so
that may be it. Taking a break beforeputting it back together.


iT SHOULD BE EASY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE VALVE ASSEMBLY.


Is a cable setup. Works fine without the gaskets, but when both gaskets
are in it binds. Will talk to Recpro on Monday.
