Had a crew of 4 aboard for a fun day ahead of us. Weather was nice and the lake was nice as well. We ran out 10 miles to our numbers from the previous week and promptly started to set lines. After about rod 10 was in the water we pulled a double. Bruiser (31) on the full core took a nice king and Tiger perch (64) on the middle diver took another king. Before we had a chance to reset either rod, the overheat alarm went off. After some diagnosis on the water, I was able to get dockside under my own power. Changed out the thermostat and things looked good. Loaded the crew back on board and headed back out again, but fate would have it, we got hot again a couple miles out. Another return to the dock made it a day. No charge trip obviously, but at least we had two kings to show for it. After getting the boat home on the trailer and running more tests, I replaced the thermostat again with another brand and things are perfect. Go figure, a bad, new part! Couldn't have guessed that one. Back to South Haven on Saturday to get after them again down there.
