HI all,
Was hoping for some basic instructions on the use of power augers. I have a 9' Eskimo Mako, and have drilled about 12 holes with it so far and have had a few questions come up while doing so, and hopeful someone can clear up or help me work out a better technique.
1. The Ice is about 36" thick, i often drill about half way than pull the auger out than start anew, seems to work better than just drilling all the way down.
2. At times the auger seems to get stuck and i end up having to "pump" it up/down a few times to get it drilling again, is this normal?
Any tips on auger use/ease would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul
