Teaser - shooting the full vid in a bit. Quick View

Just have to do a little touch-up on the paint, install the starting battery (going tomorrow morn to buy it), and she's done. Looking at Monday for her maiden voyage...I don't go on Tonka on the weekend - especially a nice weekend like we're suppose to have...all the crazies are out. I'll be...

So close now - need to Finish and install the hatches Finish painting the port-outer hull Apply decals A bit of electrical work - install a standard stop switch and an ECOS on the motor Buy a but-seat for the front and a starting battery. That's it...I'm looking at having it done by the end of...

Two units with one transducer - easy...put a Y connector in line Two transducers with one unit - hard...switch or swap cables in and out So it can be done - it's just clunky.

Depends on the signal - downscan isn't a cone - it's a triangle shaped slice directly under the transducer. (Green in image below) Sidescan goes out like downscan - a slice - but to the sides. (Blue in image below) With both - if your transducer is mounted on the stern - when you see...

Way it's looking - probably early next week and I'll be putting the finishing touches on this. Hatch-lids for casting deck are currently being Varathaned before carpeting Transition piece between casting deck and TM deck is currently being sealed before painting TM battery is ordered, should...

It's just your particular politicians - MN is a Blue state and we got E-Free gas all over the place...2 places within 2 miles of me alone.

Give this guy a call. Tim's Outboards The guy who rebuilt the 25hp I bought - and rebuilds old motors as his retirement gig - gets all his 'hard to find' OMC parts from Tim.

If it's 2lb foam they used - removing 1cu-ft will reduce flotation by 62lbs.

Ya - If it's 3/4" tubing - it's a 1" external diameter...so you need to cut a 1" hole.

Another parts-guru! I built my first one back in 1986 - I'm typing this from my 7th build, done in 2014...though this is probably the last one as finding Win-7 install discs is next to impossible...no, I consider Win-8 and up to BE bugs, not OS' so refuse to have anything to do with them.

The bi-metal hole saw is a good idea - I actually used a carbide-tipped forstner bit to drill the holes I needed in the F-9 for the live-well inlet/outlet and the bilge outlet. Use some thin machine oil to lubricate the hole-saw...ya, it helps cut a smoother hole and keeps the hole-saw cooler...

Got that right too 45 year old Pflueger 640, 40 year old Cardinal 562 I've retired them, but they've both been maintained and I could put them on rods and fish with them right now.

Two things I could wish for... 1: The F-9 was water ready 2: I could afford this Waconia is a 25 minute drive from my house.

Ya - a Shimano Stella or Daiwa Exist are out of my price range too. Ya - even my Supreme I got on sale for $85. If you can find a sale, the Supreme is a step up from the Pres-XT...magnesium body instead of graphite. Though you have to go to the Supreme-XT to get carbon-fiber drag instead of...

All Biden did was allow the sale of E-15 during the summer...it had been prohibited. Who you need to go after is the Governors who are mandating required sale of E-15...

I'll 'bounce' this back.... Pflueger President Something they did has caused the base model ($60) to be not as good as it use to be. I own a couple older Presidents, and the new models just don't match up. The President XT (next one up the line), on the other hand, has remained solid and...

Depends on your budget For around $100 Pflueger President XT-35 Daiwa Fuego LT-3000 Shimano Nasci-3000

From my point of view it's gonna be like electric cars - great to have...IF you can afford to buy one with all the batteries you'll need to run it. For the average Joe - we'll still be stuck with gas-eaters.
