Very nice perch. I had the same problem last year figuring out how the blades should go on after I took them off to sharpen them. Remember I had you send me pictures of your blades attached. Just make sure you don't tighten those blades down too hard. I had both of mine break last year on the first hole. Luckily PG & CD were there to let me use their augers.
Glad you were rewarded with a decent day of fishing after putting in 5 - 6 miles on foot to get to your spot - congrats.
thanks Denny will do. Picture idea is good I thought of it but didn't think I would forget how they went, I was wrong. Next time a photo is needed for sure.
Wayne wait till you get to be my age you will take a picture of everything before you take it apart it has saved me a few times.
In the future. When changing blades, if you don't change them one at a time and have the other to look at, you can look at the ones you remove, there will be a water stain and rust mark on the old blade to indicate the position it should be installed in.I have to aggrree that the one big advantage of the cell phone is the ability to take pictures, as a mechanic of almost 50 years, the pictures I take are alot more telling than my old school scribble used to be.
It was a male pride thing i looked at it closely and thought i can do this ill remember. I made sure the sharp edge was in the same direction as previous ones. Thought it was a piece of cake. Until i tried it. Turns out i mounted them in the correct direction but upside down so the blades were not able to shave the ice. I will learn from this. And take pics next time.
You are not the first one to do it, you won't be the last.
Some of those whites are so wide they look like crappie. .
