Hello again everyone, I’m sitting in the house waiting for the rain to let up. Word is we got 14” in a big part of our area in the past week. I called the marina today and was tol That sandy point I beached my boat on coming in late one night is back under water. Its going to be nice seeing the...

I’m pulling the trigger on my new TM today. Instead of going back with the MK Endura max which is a dang good motor. I’m getting a MK Traxxis which has everything the Endura max does plus some other things I like. I already have a foot switch on the deck. I’ll add another one on the floor just...

UPDATE: Those awesome prices turned out to not be so awesome. The company looked legit until I checked them out. Several unhappy people that got scammed. So I took the best price I found on a 70lb Power Drive with ipilot and two lifepo4 batteries and dropped the bomb this morning before she left...

Ok. I’m 11 days away from my birthday and the wife is asking about what trolling motor. I was settled on MK Power Drive 24v 70lb. W/ipilot and 100ah lifepo4 batteries. I just found a smoking deal on a MK Terrova 24v 80lb also pilot and both Bluetooth. Only concern is how much less run time will...

This truck has that switch and I have yet to even spin a tire. But I haven’t took it to the one ramp that I’m talking about.

I actually have a 14” extension I bought and was trailering with it. I got the 14” so I wouldn’t be adding that much more tongue weight on my hitch. Turns out I didn’t like the way it rattled and bounced so it became part of preparing the boat for launch in the parking lot. Now I wished I had a...

When I launch my boat there’s only one ramp that I use where getting the boat off the trailer is easy as pie. The rest I have to do a little pushing and a couple I have the truck backed in the water. And there’s one lake I have yet to go back to since first step put me upside down. It’s covered...

The money I’m saving on the trolling motor will just cover the LiFePo4 batteries. I just hope I can get my wife (AKA the Admiral) to see it that way.

I found a site that has two Minn Kota Terrova. A 55# 12 volt and a 80# 24 volt. Both have the Universal sonar instead of the new system that’s Hummingbird only. Also lift assist and the complete ipilot gps system. Remote control with led screens as well as Bluetooth for my phone. The 80# is...

I still certain episodes.

Thanks for the compliment. Yer sir I’m going to make sure I never have to do it again.

What I feel guilty about is my shop being in such a dis era that I can’t get the boat in it.

Thank you

I’ve been saying I’m going to do it. But I am going to get my shop uncluttered and do my best to organize it so I can back my boat in. I may have to stack the mowers on top of each other or sell some things but the boat is going in there. When we moved in 10 years ago I had all my tools , lawn...

Well here it is. It’s not perfect. I can tell where I got a little to rough. The Awesome and Woolite were all most impossible to get rinsed completely out so I went back to 303 marine multi surface and diluted it. It did good and I rinsed twice with clean water using my extraction machine. I was...

And the copilot system is affordable. I just need and am about to see which models it works with. I’d like to stay 12 volt and I want variable speed. It saves battery life and I can keep those baits moving at .5mph where they need to be.

Well it’s like this. The back up sucks. I figure a 15mph gust and I’m a sail boat. I kept having so many other things creep up on me. I needed the space one day so the trolling motor is in a box still in pieces. However. It was time for my wife to start making her Christmas cookies this...

You picked the right forum. There are a lot of great people on here that are very knowledgeable. No matter what the question there’s someone on here that can help. I was helped from corrosion problems all the way to proper marine wiring with my 1983 Monark. Even picking my boat cover after...

The Totally Awesome and Woolite was getting it done today. I had interruptions of course but managed to get the worst half done. The other side shouldn’t be a problem tomorrow. Then I’m doing my maintenance work on the outboard and I’m going fishing. If I don’t just ride around yelling Beats...
