I'm getting ready to purchase a Trolling Motor and would like to see the thoughts from others. The motor will be going on a 13" 4" Gregor. The plan is to use the boat on various lakes in my area. Many of these lakes are on a Reservation with no docks and really no ramp, just an area with...

Don't over look a Duckworth, Thunderjet or the like. Some years ago I did some unbelievable things in both those brands with a number of folks in them in less then skinny water a couple of times. At the time I lived in Alaska and both those brands carry very good reputations up there as well as...

The key to any paint job is prep. Doesn't matter too much what you want to put on it, you have to prep it or your going to be redoing it again. The easier fast part of the job is laying the paint down. I've been painting all kinds of stuff for a good many years and anything requires that prep...

Here in AZ to register your boat it is done at a few selected locations other then Fish and Game. Last time I registered the boat I went to one of "selected" places, when I went to pay I was told "nope can't take cash for that". Of course then it is an up charge and a credit card fee, Not that...

CA license is a bit much IMO. The thing that I don't care for too much is that CA doesn't honor other states licenses on shared waters. I know that other places are the same, but I guess at some point I will be getting some form of CA license as I want to get over and try for some of those big...

I'm not familiar with your motor/prop set-up and haven't seen prop slip mentioned. That certainly could be an issue causing the reduced speed.

I'm guessing you looked for a HIN. They were not required until the 70's or there abouts, but some boat makers used them before the requirement. If it has one, there is a code for the manufactor. It is great you have a family boat with that kind of history, plus nothing is made today that will...

I am debating more of what to buy instead of where. I spent a bit over 45 min with George at TrollingMotors.net on the phone earlier in the week. He answered all my questions and was very helpful. I thought I would share that he has run all the new motors himself. He told me that the spot lock...

Wish I would have gotten the MKE, but I will be opening one up on Monday (lol) and I'll let you know in a week or so.

I don't have experience with this...yet, but I will as that will be my set up soon. Reading this same topic on another boating site, couple guys say they run em on max a lot for over 2 years without issue. I think it is possible that with lead acids drop in voltage as they discharge, the Lithium...

I've always did the in gear approach. I will say that the heat that the lower unit can receive while on the trailer depends a LOT on where your at, the days temp and the pavement your on. This summer in Phoenix we saw 53 days over 110, that black asphalt gets smoking hot! I have never measured...
