Yeah, out of 8 kings caught on this outing 5 of them were ivory. Pretty bizarre. We usually only catch one maybe two a year.

That’s awesome! I’ve fish a lot of that as well. Used to fish on a buddy’s power troller for a couple summers.

Thanks for your service. I was born and raised on Prince of Wales Island. We now live in South Central and fish out of Seward and Whittier.

Couple kings and shrimp from last season. Looking forward to spring and getting back out.

Those are dandies!

Still rocking my 80s Binos.

I think you are correct in regards to the original kit and having to trim the shroud. I believe the issue is the soft suspension the 500i has with long bars and it allows the cover and shroud to contact when the suspension flexes. I think stiffer suspension helps remedy this but not for certain.

Regarding the new “mini” kit per the site No trimming on MS661 Minimal shroud peg removal on MS500i With the original kit you did have to dremel out the shroud as you stated. Interesting there is a kit coming out for the 462, 362/400.

some fine looking work as always

You did good at $800 for a nice 046R! Post a pic up when you get your hands on it.

It’s a preheating kit, so the intake can pull some of that warmer air off the cylinder.

This is the first 056 I’ve had. Pretty cool old saw and they sound mean!

Mag II is back in business. New Dukes piston and OEM rings. Also, needed a new oil pump and spur gear and a couple other smalls.

I would consider a 462. I do have a line on a 460 so going to mark this as “found” for time being. Appreciate it fellas.

thanks for the heads up. Think I’m going to try and track down a saw with a 3/4 wrap.
