I think the water agreement has the oldest rights on Hyrum, so they fill first, then they start to fill Porcupine after Hyrum is topped off. Glad they were at least able to fill Hyrum this year... Going to be a short water year... Thanks for the details Alan.... Later Jeff
Sounds like fun, good time to exercise the 3 Wt and have a blast... Thanks for the tips...
So is your motor a 90 hp? If so that is incredible gas mileage... Sure hope my 60 hp will do similar... My old 115 hp used to take 5 gallons just to leave the ramp... I think the Johnson and Evinrude's are supposed to be about the same engine, so you give me hope... Been thinking if the new motor is okay on fuel, I'll probably sell my 4 stroke 9.9 hp Yamaha, it was a bit big on my small boat as a trolling motor...
Anyway my new motor is all installed on the boat except for hooking up the wires to the controller, I needed to put on new connectors so an older motor matches the new controllers... and I didn't have the crimping plyers to connect the connectors for the Deutsch units... But they are ordered and sounds like somewhere from April 7-15 they are supposed to arrive... (Been waiting a month for them).. Anyway the project has been kind of fun and wasn't near as difficult as I thought at first.. Hasn't been cheap getting all the parts and pieces, but I should have known better when it didn't have the controls with it.. I didn't realize that you can spend more on controls than the motor, but I think I'll end up with a nice set up when I'm done... Thanks for asking... Later Jeff
Jeff, did you check with Lee in Hyrum to see if he could help? He has helped me on my old 1989 40hp Johnson on the bass boat more than once
