    Looking at new boats

    Your lucky, in my area most boats sit out in someone's back yard until the cover risen I grates and goes away. The hull fills with leaves and water the sits thru a cold winter. After a few years of not using the boat, they decide to sell it. Power wash and a good clean and buff her shinny then...

    What have you been up to lately?

    No heat pump here, have never met someone that likes theirs. Just a HE propane forced air furnace that is 26+ years I'll as well as the A/C unit. Heat exchanger is cracked/ plugged and won't stay lit.

    Prop question

    First question is....what is the max operating rpm according to the mfg ? That 6500 rpm sounds high to me. Adjust prop pitch to get the max operating rpm with just you on board and basic gear. My 40 hp Merc is rated at 5500 rpm max wot rpm and I run a prop that gives me about 56-5700 rpm...

    Lithium Battery Question - 50AH LiFeP04 for a 55# thrust Minn Kota?

    According to a friend that works for a battery mage in our area, they are working on a device that uses the charge from the motors generator/ alternator to charge other batteries ( not Lithium) and just uses the lithium to start, no charging off the motor. The charging device on the motor is...

    TimeUSB 100AH 12.8V Pro LiFePO4 Battery Review

    Had "two" LA gp 31 deep cycle batteries that lasted a good 6 hours when newer. Only 3-4 hours this past summer. Wanted to get back to the 6 HR day with the new battery ( 55# thrust power drive) so I went with a single 140ah LifePO4 battery. Still might be close but defiantly better than a...

    What have you been up to lately?

    My furnace started acting up, no heat....so had a repair guy come out. Bad news the heat exchanger is cracked and over half the cost of a new furnace. After 26 plus years, can't really complain, but then we got to talking, so is the A/C unit and the high tech water heater !! Just put a new...

    TimeUSB 100AH 12.8V Pro LiFePO4 Battery Review

    By all means check any charger you wish to use to be sure it will charge a LifePO4 battery !! Not all of them will....my NOCO 3 bank charger is not compatible with any type of lithium battery !! When the wrong charger is hooked up.....the batteries can burn white hot in seconds. I speak from...

    Looking at new boats

    I have always priced my stuff fairly and make sure things are running and in good condition or I tell them otherwise upfront ! Usually sell to first buyer once they see I am being honest. Low ballers that make ridiculous offers get my usual comback...I will gladly take more, but not less. The...

    TimeUSB 100AH 12.8V Pro LiFePO4 Battery Review

    Did you calculate the amp draw and runtime your TM requires ? I went with the 140 AH over the 100 to be sure I didn't run out of juice. I use my spot lock and also troll so better to have extra power than come up short.

    V Boat Guides

    Have had great success with both types, as long as the rest of the trailer is setup correctly. My current trailer is a full roller and I have to be careful as the boat rolls off very easy ! I am going to tighten up a couple rollers as they are to free currently. Trailer setup is "everything"...
