Hi All I am sure this topic was covered previously, but my searches have come up empty. I have a 30HP Honda on my 16 Gregor Alaskan. I have one group 24 cranking battery and no battery bank for a trolling motor. My GPS/Fishfinder is a Hummingbird Helix 7. My battery is mounted in the bow of...

Why not ask the dealer if you can test drive the Yamaha? It's used already so there should not be much of a problem. Bill

Sir You did not state what type of hand-held your group is using. If it is the FRS/GMRS radios that everyone uses for camping, etc, then a Fixed VHF won't work. If your group is using hand-held VHF radios, then, YES, you can communicate with them. I disagree a little with Whaler and do believe...

Drain it! Today's fuels start to go bad within weeks. I dump all of my questionable fuels into a can and run them through my lawnmower. Why take the chance? Bill

LDUBS How far back are you running the lures behind the downriggers? Just curious Bill

I think that the current speeds that the motor gives you should be plenty. I can't imagine going much faster in that boat. 30 MPH is hauling hay in my book. I would also think that the weight penalty might offset any speed/performance gains. You might even need tabs or adjustable trim to get...

The biggest downside to mounting them on the transom is if your wheels drop into a pothole or you hit something, It generates a lot of force. My dad had some mounted to the back of his inexpensive (thin transom) aluminum many years ago and he ripped one of them off after impact. Left a lot of...

Can't help you with the grab rail, but under the "Watering Hole" section there is an easy way to post pictures on this forum. It was so easy that even I was able to post pictures here! Good luck Bill

Now I have to wait for spring to try it out. 1 foot of snow Saturday Couple inches of rain this week More snow tonight Blehhhh Bill

I needed to make some upgrades to my new Gregor Alaskan 16. I bought it stripped because I thought I could save some money and I could also outfit it exactly as I wanted. After spending months on this forum reading various modifications, I found a common idea was to use LED lighting instead of...

Looks Good! I agree with you that the standard diameter mount is stout enough! Bill

Here is the HB mounted and deployed on the RAM mount. The mount is affixed to the package tray in front of the drives seat KD Here is the unit stored inside the package shelf

KD Grills It also is an HB Helix, but a 6. Big heavy unit. The 2" Ram is big. Really big. It is also very heavy. It does work well with the unit, but man, it is big. I do like the extended length that it affords. I can tuck it out of the way or raise it to a comfortable level. I think the...

LDUBS I am not into internet shaming, but I purchased it at a dealer between Rocklin and Auburn :) My solution for the bunks raised the boat about an inch, but it is still close to the fenders. No issues launching or retrieving...yet... I think I recognize one of the lakes you fish on. I used...

Hello Tin Boaters After owning a Klamath 14 foot aluminum for 18 years, I felt that it was time for an upgrade. I fish the Eastern Sierra lakes and anything in Nevada for trout and kokanee. I troll for Kokes and fly fish for trout. I felt that I needed a little longer boat and something with...

My last boat, a Klamath 14 came with a manual that clearly stated no transom saver was to be used. I just bought a new Gregor Alaskan and I emailed Gregor regarding this issue. They too said that I was not to use a transom saver and leave the motor down when towing. Food for thought. Best...

I can't answer your question directly, but.... Do you have an electrical fishtape? (Flexible metal on a reel used to pull wire) I would stick it in the open end and see if it pops out somewhere. Bill
