    Trolling Motor Selection - Volts, Thrust, and Shaft length

    I was keeping it MK as the mounting hole pattern is the same as the MK Powerdive my boat came with new. I'll bet that the Motorguide mounting hole pattern is different. I do not want to drill four new holes in my new boat to accommodate a different brand!! If holes were same, perhaps.

    Tracker has eliminated all wood (except for decks) in Deep V, Mod Deep V, and Jon boat models... and are ALL welded. Not sure when this started. I consider Tracker a well designed and well built boat...especially for the price....that's why I purchased a new one...

    For a minute there, after reading title, I thought maybe it was your new toon! Good thing you had the external fuel filter/water separator. Boat issues, especially engine and leaks, are the worst IMO! All things can be repaired. Glad you repaired quickly and all is well. I have thought of...

    NOCO Battery Jump Starter - Any Good?

    I agree on the second house battery. However, my rear starting battery compartment on has enough space for one battery or I would have added a second house battery.

    NOCO Battery Jump Starter - Any Good?

    I'm debating between the NOCO 50 and 75. 50 is 1500 amps and is 4"x9"x5" 75 is 2000 amps and is 7"x4"x12" The 75 foot print is much larger. Space on a small boat is a premium.

    I messed up. SIX TIMES! Night fishing

    Boating / fishing at night can be challenging, as others have described. I've sailed (many different sailboats 20'-30' in length) at night on the ocean. I frequently sailed from San Pedro, CA to Catalina Island (SoCal) at night, but obviously the ocean is much larger than a lake and...

    NOCO Battery Jump Starter - Any Good?

    Since I have a single starting battery that also runs lights, bilge pump, livewell, 12V receptacle, and FF/Chartplotter. I was considering keeping a jump starter on board in case the battery is dead out on water. TM could get me back but it's battery could be nearly dead when I need it. NOCO's...
