When fully pressed the top blade goes slightly behind the bottom blade. Here are some pictures i.postimg.cc/nFrpzvBJ/PXL-20250118-000740169.jpg i.postimg.cc/KGWFgRDg/PXL-20250118-000753234.jpg

@@DavidPhamChannel same as mine, thanks for the reply

I don't actually know, never had to when I owned it.

No, not really just hold the pitcher and lid firmly and turn counter clockwise.

1.2mm

@@DavidPhamChannel thanks :)

A fully charged M18 battery is about 20.5 volts, a fully discharged battery is 13.0 volts (when tool turns off). So depending on how many bars are left (when you press the indicator button) you'll get a voltage somewhere between 13 and 20.5 volts.

I just bought the latest version. Best watch I've ever had. For the price I paid, I like that it looks spectacular. But I see your point because I find the earlier versions very pretty too.

No problem, glad it was helpful.

More of a preventive measure than a fix for a malfunctioned knife. I'm sure Milwaukee will come out with a rev 3, they seem to listen to their customers.

Absolutely not.

Its a solid knife! Love mine.

Thanks, glad to help!

Glad it was helpful to you! I may not be the best reference for lines as I have not bought a new fly line in years, I really have no idea what out there now but i can try. Good to hear you are using the Pieroways, still using my x-series today.

Your video touches on something that others don’t is a Spey lines ability (or lack of) to overhead cast. One thing I find is the grains required to sustained anchor cast is way too many grains to overhead cast neatly, but I would love the versatility of both when floating in the boat. I use a 10’ 6wt that is probably more of a 7wt and I use a 300 grain head with a 80 grain tip so the whole system is 380 grains and it two hand Spey casts quite well. Is the outbound short fully integrated head and sink tip or can you change tips? Do you find both overhead and Spey casts decently achievable with it? Thanks so much for your time!

I'm not sure I can answer this because all rods/lines are different but I'll do my best. On my 5wt and 6wt rod the lines I use are great for both overhead and single-hand spey casting. I feel the presentation is neat when overhead casting but that's very subjective. I use both setups to fish dries and feel the presentation is delicate enough (very subjective), of course I'll never know how many fish I'm putting down by using the heavier line, lol. My lines have a scandi taper so they are gradually getting thinner towards the end so its not an aggressive splash like you would get from a skagit taper. Also, the way you are casting plays a large role, if you are laying down line it should be relatively graceful, on the other hand if you are super charging the line with an abrupt stop at the end then that's another story. My main reason for using a scandi taper was for the versatility of both spey and overhead casting. Skagit heads are tougher to overhead cast but still doable, I have limited experience overhead casting them. The 380 grain head/tip on your 6/7wt seems excessive to me, of course this would all come down to many factors. For reference I'm using a 330 grain head (Outbound Short) on a fast 8wt rod. Everyone is going to have a different casting stroke and style so your setup might work perfectly for your gear/mechanics. I use the OBS primarily for overhead casting but can single-hand spey cast with it when needed, it's just not an ideal setup for both casting types with the setup i have. The Outbound Short is a single integrated line (no tip required), it does have an aggressive head so you can add a reasonably sized tip on the end if you need to. I have used it to single-hand spey cast but feel its about 5-6 feet too long on my 9' rod, I have to adjust my mechanics/timing quite a bit to get it to work. I have never tried it on a 2 handed rod so can't speak to how well it would do but it should be fine on the right rod. This line was built for overhead casting and turning over large flies (think pike streamers) and it excels at that. If you are thinking about using this line for delicate presentations you can also do that but you will need to a polyleader tip for sure. I hope some of that makes sense.

Thanks so much for your reply, It seems like there is no silver bullet to both overhead and Spey but maybe I should look more at Scandi heads due to the more gradual taper, I could see how that would aid in overhead casting ability. I find all decent rods cast very well if properly lined, ii’s just lines are so expensive I want to get it right the first time haha. Thank you again for your reply and for making the video, I gathered alot of info from both!

@@kevinkausche3229 Glad to help. Best of luck!

That's a good point, the single cylinders do vibrate a ton. I heard the 8 and 9.9s are so similar that you can modify the 8s to be 9.9s.

@@DavidPhamChannel Well, the old 9.9 and 7.5 were the same engine, and hp was rated at the crankshaft. The newer (2004) classic 8hp was reportedly the earlier 9.9 but now rated at the prop. The later 9.9 was built on the 15 chassis which was larger displacement and was much heavier, in the 100 pound neighborhood. I had that 15 and it vibrated much more than the earlier 9.9. So from my experience the earlier smaller twins (7.5, 9.9 or classic 8) were the smaller cylinders and smoother running motors in the 75 pound range. I've kept the classic 8 but haven't run it in a long time.

That's great to hear!

Sorry I bought it years ago and have never seen it online

I don't know the size I just know the model of the tool. Bergeron 6767F

Yeah also I think the 45mm is from 2005 originally, the 42mm is from 2008

Glad it was helpful!

Sounds like a pretty solid solution.

lol

I recently picked one up. With a leaf blower I have the boat read in half the time.

No I didn't. Main reason is because my favorite local shop only carries Yamaha, and at the time I picked it up they had a nice sale going on too.

Thanks for your prompt reply, David. I don’t have any experience with outboards. I like your logic that if it’s too heavy to carry, you won’t use the engine, so it defeats the purpose of the extra horsepower. I'm in favor of a handle on the Yamaha. Did you add a permatrim performance foil to help? There is a danger of splashing out money unnecessarily when you lack knowledge. I’m at the early stages of thinking about a True Kit Discovery 3.3 for days out on Sydney harbour; speed isn’t my greatest motivator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@@222jimrice No problem, I've had the motor since 2017 and glad I choose the Yamaha. Yamaha are solid motors and in my opinion worth the premium, generally higher resale values too if you decide to part with it. No, i didn't add a permatrim foil, never had the need to, I only fish small lakes so speed isn't something I need. The motor is very fuel efficient, with a full internal tank (1 liter), you can go full throttle for about 30 mins. In a season (a dozen outings) i use less than 5 liters of fuel, keep in mind I'm mainly fishing and not cruising or exploring. Hopefully that info helps you out.

@@DavidPhamChannel Thanks David, What is the pull start like? …….I tried a Suzuki 6hp and it nearly pulled my arm off with the kick back , I’m told this is normal for a Suzuki until you get a technique sorted out. I didn’t realise the cost of servicing, it costs more than my car. Have you stayed with the internal fuel tank? I was thinking of a 10 litre jerry can and topping it up periodically though out the day. Thanks for all your previous advice - very valuable. Jim

​@@222jimrice I don't have experience with Suzuki so cant comment on if the pull start of the Yamaha is similar. I personally never had a problem with the Yamaha pull start, fairly easy to pull, much like a lawn mower. Servicing costs her in Canada aren't too much. I use mine less than 10 hours a season and take it in for a tune up every couple years. I also store my motor in doors but wouldn't say i baby it. Works out to be about a $100 season if I work it out. I've stay with the internal tank. The internal tank is 1 liter in capacity and works well for me. I don't do much cruising just fishing so don't have a need for a large tank. I carry with me a 5 Liter jerry can, which I fill up at the start of the season and lasts me all season. These smaller motors are incredibly good on gas.

Enjoy it!

Glad to hear it!

The tool should work for spring bars with a double collar but you need to make sure the prongs can fit between the bracket or strap to reach the spring bars in question. The spring bar tool should work but you need to learn how to use it. I have a video on how to remove an Omega bracelet which has some tips that may help you, definitely takes getting used to. Best of luck!

@@DavidPhamChannel I will certainly check your other video. I appreciate the advice.

This isn't exactly true. The original 2500A and B versions may have a higher beat rate but the C and D versions have the lower beat rate. The watch in the video is. 2500D.

Thanks!

Sorry I don't know that.

Sorry I don't know it's reference number.
