I never drive the boat up on the trailer. My boat is 16' Tracker Grizzly and absolutely no need to drive the boat up on the trailer or the need for an electric wench. I launch the boat by backing into the water, then a push and off it goes. I have a rope tied to the front that I then pull the...

The motor stows without any change in speed while the boat is moving, mine will auto shut off and stow when the stow button is pushed. Another useful feature when approaching the shore is to raise the motor by using the trim control, I raise it and watch and listen for the splash. I know then...

I have physical limitations also and use a Ulterra, when approaching the bank I stow the motor and drift into the bank. I also will approach the bank at an angle and turn just as I stow and the boat goes sideways against the bank. It is better for me to step out of the boats side than off the...

Pennsylvania is the same, I own property but need to buy non resident license, I pay the same school tax as do the residents same township tax but no benefits.

The power of the outboard could over power the steering of the trolling motor and cause a problem. The speed needs to be down so the trolling motor will be able to steer. I have an electric outboard and it will push the boat right past a turn if it's running on high, a gas motor would certainly...

I use the tracking every trip and have some tracks for emergencies. The process is very simple and easy to use. The hardest part is labeling the track to remember what it does. Keep in mind it actually records waypoints and goes from point to point. It will record every little twist and turn so...

I did the upgrade from I-pilot to I-pilot link, very easy to do. The entire top module comes off with several screws, the actual number I forget. Several small plugs to disconnect and re connect. The entire process only takes minutes not hours and only requires a small screwdriver if memory...

I have noticed more and more trailers at the dock are registered in Maine, here's why. Home - Maine Trailer Registrations "Maine Trailer Registrations is a licensed Registration Agent for the State of Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles. We are able to register and title trailers for in and...

A Priest was scheduled to give Sunday Mass, he awoke to a gorgeous sunny day. Being a golfer he wanted to play on this wind free beautiful morning, but knew by the time Mass was over it would be too late. He called the senior priest and reported that he was sick and could not perform mass, and...

Many reviews on Amazon and most other sites are nothing but first impressions. People buy something and review it the moment it arrives without ever actually using it. I buy a lot of things off Amazon, most products are very easy to return. That is the plus about Amazon. Unfortunately Amazon...

News flash, on electric only lakes wakes are also a big problem. Many of the bass boats have multiple electric outboards giving them speeds of 10 or 12 MPH. Normally this would not be a problem except in order to operate that much power multiple batteries are necessary. I not talking 2 or even 4...

I fish on electric lakes, that's all that is close. The 3 biggest are reservoirs for Baltimore city, others are in the state Parks in Pennsylvania. Penn. has both electric only and gas. Better get used to the fact that electric is going to be required more and more. The current progressive trend...

1 reason for 2 50's instead of 1 100 would be for a back up. If one battery fails you still can get back to the ramp. Of course this is if electric is your only means of propulsion. Another would be weight, lifting a 50 is much easier than a hundred.

I guess I'll add my opinion. A hundred amp hour battery has 100 amp hours charged fully, regardless of the type. The difference is if you run any lead acid type past 50% capacity it is damaged. Continue doing this and your battery will fail prematurely. Lithium type batteries can be run down...

What's an oar?:giggle:

except for Lithium when run down passed %50 batteries are damaged, their life is shortened. If you do not monitor the use there is no way of knowing the amount of charge remaining. From past experience the monitor built into trolling motors is useless. Time at least for me has a way of sneaking...

My concern about switching to Lithium for cranking would be the alternator charging the battery. Li batteries need a different charge sequence than lead acid types. With that in mind does the alternator need to be changed? I only use LI for my electric motors and do not even have a gas motor. I...

I'll ring in on this for Maryland. My senior license is $5 for everything including trout. I have only seen a game and fish warden 1 time in the last 5 years. They are all patrolling the Chesapeake it seems. The license money is supposed to go to supporting some of the conservation and stocking...

The best way to predict how much battery life you are using is to get a Digital clamp meter. The are very simple to use and show exactly how many amps are being drawn. Unless my motors are freaks, running 100% is not practical. As speed increases amp draw increases they are not on parallel...
