    New Minn Kota with Heading Sensor - Install ?s

    Could be, but I find pushing a couple buttons on my remote does the same thing...without having to go back to school.

    Jonboat Project

    How would one know if they had this "puck" ? Have no clue if mine has one or not. I can say that when anchored ( spot lock) in a tight group of other boats mine does not appear to.move, even in 2' waves. I have been very impressed as to how well it holds location. Even in my anchoring days, I...

    Engine height

    I would take a long straight edge pushed up to the bottom of the hull and let it stick out to the cavitation plate. We can't tell how parallel the cav plate is to the hull. When both hull and cav plate are parallel, then measure how far above or below it is. I am surprised you have wood in...

    More me is not updated to the best of my knowledge. My MK is a 2013 and the previous owner never mentioned anything about an upgrade. MT Low range is also a 2013 with a north America card inserted. The motor and fish finder are not connected....good thing because I would be totally lost with...

    Spot lock is built into my trolling motor itself, it has no bearing on my FF. There may be other types, but my MK power drive works great..even hold in a 2' chop

    What to watch out for: 1990(ish) 15hp Johnson

    They are not hard to pull start. A compression check should be done as well as an in water test. Should idle well....if all checks out...anything used is a gamble...plan on replacing water pump and spark plugs anyway.

    Yes....never knew how great spot lock was until I picked up a motor with it. Having bad shoulders makes pulling an anchor a tough job. Not only does the motor hold position, with a couple button pushes I can move from one spot to another without wrestling that anchor. I will never be without...

    This brought back some memories....way back many years ago, my daughter got he first car. Being an older car, I showed her how to check her fluids and watch the oil usage. After explaining how the oil being to low could cause an issue, she actually ask if we could get a longer dipstick to the...

    If you can get to both sides they can be hammered out if not real deep dents. Keep in mind that the aluminum on better quality aluminum boats is tempered for strength. It does bend/ dent on a impact, but doesn't like to be bent back back very well ! It often cracks if moved to far that is why...

    TimeUSB 100AH 12.8V Pro LiFePO4 Battery Review

    Thanks for confirming what others have said....thinking about m moving up to a 140 ah battery for only a little more. Have to decide on brand and get a 20 amp lifepo4 charger as well. Most all the 140 battery mfgrs have recommended a 20 amp charger.

    TimeUSB 100AH 12.8V Pro LiFePO4 Battery Review

    Well...my 2019 group 31 batteries died after only two hours today, so I guess it is time to replace them. So now reading up on these lifepo4 batteries. My 55# MK motor currently runs off two 31 batteries and did last for a good 6-8 hours on the water. I am thinking using only one 100 ah...

    Boating Etiquette

    It is called courtesy, not taught much anymore ! If folks are off to o the side, out of the way then steer clear or slow down, but I have saw folks sitting right in the main channel where they should not be and expect others to give way to them. People take advantage of situations on both...

    Going after two free boats and motors?

    Spray a little oil to n the cylinders and let them sit...they are not costing you anything to sit there. Down the road, things will change and they might be worth their weight in gold !! Sort of a retirement nestegg...lol.....
