    bildge pumps - how many have them -

    Rained for 2 strait days this week while boat was parked on shore... 45 degrees out, was nice to walk out, flip the bilge. 1/2 hour later, boat was empty. No frozen hands bailing.

    Livewell Project

    Have my livewell project detailed on my boat build thread, but thought a separate thread may help those searching for ideas. Bought the 1648 Alumacraft Semi V Jon pretty bare bones. I wanted a livewell that could double for bait storage as well as keeping many fish alive. By maximizing space...

    Trolling motor question

    That is incorrect. There is a "continuous" and a "manual" mode. In manual as you move left or right you take your foot slightly off the power pedal, but in continuous mode, power is always on the speed you have set and you can make left/right adjustments as the boat is under power.

    Most times I run my front mounted Powerdrive V2 from the back of the boat. Long cable.

    Rear deck fish finder?

    You talked me into putting one on the front deck...lol...I usually fish from the back of the boat, but it will be nice to have one in the front for fishing partners and/or if I decide to fish up front.

    1648 Semi-V Jon Mod (Completed)

    Well, the leak when an extra person is in my boat is still happening. I have no idea where it is coming from...somewhere in the front 1/4 of the boat I'm guessing. Me and my two 80lb dogs, no leaks.....me and a 250lb person up front and I'm bilging at every stop. Anyone know of a underboat...

    1648 Semi-V Jon Mod (Completed)

    For months I've been trying to track down a leak in my boat....I always thought it was the livewell or some issue with my modification, but after numerous tests, I've found that the livewell is just fine. The leak always happened more with someone riding in the boat with me than without. This...

    I'm not planning on doing anymore ordering, but I have 25% off coupon for the place I ordered my custom switch panel from. If you are interested and serious about ordering a panel, I'll give the coupon to one needy person....just DM me. Has to be used by end of June.

    Attaching seats to a bench?

    I went with the same type of bracket on recommendation from gillhunter...(I found one a bit less $$ tho $11ea.). Unlike him, I used self tapping screws. Bracket works like a champ....just make sure you have the seat exactly where you want it before screwing it down.

    Anyone own MK powerdrive v2?

    have had my PD v2 installed for a couple weeks now...love it. tough getting used to the foot controls, but the 45 pulls my 16 no problem in heavy current. Foot pedal control is 16' long.....for those that say there is a delay in the electronic foot pedal, I haven't seen it....it goes where and...

    multibank onboard charger (2 or 3 bank)?

    I put 2 bank in my boat (only have 2 batt) and how great it is to jut plug it in and leave! I bought the 210D Minn Kota. As long as it works and it's PITA free, it's all good!
