JNG has a good point about the problems caused by electric outboards on electric only lakes. Many boats are grossly overloaded with batteries supporting the amp hungry outboards. They plow through the water pushing a huge wake. On the lake I mostly fish, during a bass tournament at start time...

Isn't that a group picture of the squad.

I was told yesterday by a Minn Kota tech that when charging batteries they should be disconnected from all electronics including motors. The reason being said he was that the charge voltage is higher than the operating voltage and that higher voltage makes it's way to the circuit boards. This I...

As an update, I sent a letter via snail mail to the contact service manager, Saturday it was return to sender by the post office NO SUCH STREET UNABLE TO FORWARD. Obviously a foreign scam. Wish I could find them to teach them a lesson.

We had a thing years ago, I do not know what it was called. A single handle similar to a tiller you pushed it back and forth and a large aluminum "rudder" would wave. It actually worked, not as fast as rowing but would push the heavy wide wooden boat along. I just did a search, It's called "fin...

While having a beer, a friend asked me how I got the two black eyes. I told him while boarding the bus the fat lady in front of me had her dress stuck in her butt crack. I being the helpful one pulled it out, she punched me in the eye. My friend said that explains the one black eye what about...

I recently made an order for some primers and pyrodex, the company uses Zelle as their payment source. I received an email giving me the number and name, the email was on the same string of emails from the company. I paid the invoice as directed and actually got a confirmation from them. When I...

A 100 gauge piece of aluminum has a thickness of 0.0010 inches. Gauge is a universal system used to measure the thickness of metal and wire. This is the official definition of 100 gauge. https://www.answers.com/Q/How_thick_is_100_gauge_aluminum "Most aluminum foil labeled "Extra Heavy Duty" is...

I never drive onto the trailer, add a pair of side guide ons keep them close as possible to the side of the boat. I do this with the boat on the trailer and leave about 2 inches on each side. If possible I will beach the boat up wind from the trailer then do exactly what poorthang said.

I just bought a 48 volt from Dakota Lithium, it cost less than 4 12's and less weight.

Have a great trip Jim, get the big ones.

As stated hornets die in the winter and start over in spring, the nest is probably empty. A friend of mine collected them a few years back, once the cold freezing weather came. It looks as if there is no entrance hole so look outside for a hole they are using. If you find the entrance just spray...

As stated the battery is the weakness of electric, the lakes near my home are electric only. They are not large, but are spread out so to fish the entire lake lots of power is necessary or extreme travel time. Motors are advertised with lots of horse power, the required batteries and their...

I used a stall mat from tractor supply, it does not have the holes. I see good and not so good for each. The holes would allow dropped small items to be trapped but harder to retrieve. The solid stall mat would not trap the dropped items making them easy to pick up but would keep them located...

I have asked for the EP-9.9 Electric Outboard - Remote Long Livorsi Side Mount. I'm beginning to wonder if I made the correct decision with Elco. No word about my order except that it is still processing ordered and paid for 01/24/22. They do not respond to any inquiry on their web sight, I have...

I am going to an Elco electric outboard for my 1648 Grizzly, the EP-9.9. My question is does it have the threaded steering tube like gas motors do? I found an electric steering mechanism that would be great, it's usually used for gas kicker motors. If anyone has any information or ideas...

I had a Minn Kota do a similar act. A possible check first off to see if current is getting to the motor if not probably the circuit board. I had to replace the circuit board, not difficult just need to be careful handling the small screws and be sure to be grounded. You may need to get the...
