    Lowrance 3 in 1 transducer on the bow

    2D is built into the same transducer so thats why i wanted to put it on the bow. I dont think i can run two transducers with 1 unit. Its side, down and 2d in one transducer. Its like 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.

    Lowrance 3 in 1 transducer on the bow

    I just bought an Elite FS9. It has the long 3 in one transducer. I would like to mount it somewhere upfront so I can jig fish off the bow and eventually i want to upgrade to live target sonar. I have a Minn Kota powerdrive 70 that doesnt have room to attach a trolling motor because of the...

    Minn Kota rant

    I told them that since they thought it was not fair for them to have to refund my money it would be fair for me to share this story on social media. Her tune then changed and she then said she would "go to bat for me" and would call back. She seriously acted like its outrageous that im not...

    Minn Kota rant

    They called me back today and wont give my refund. Dont have the parts to fix my motor and in their words I dont deserve a refund because it only failed once. She told me to get refund through amazon and again blamed amazon for being “notorious for this.” I explained to her I understand...

    Minn Kota rant

    To clarify the tech told me i should bring it back if it didnt work again. However its a huge pain in the ass to bolt this to my boat and unboat and I usually only fish electric only lakes so basically I had to buy another trolling motor as a backup because this is so unreliable. I have a...

    Minn Kota rant

    Ive always liked Minn Kota and used their motors. I think that time is over for me now. I bought a brand new powerdrive 70 with ipilot March 10th. I took it out on the water 3 times. On the third time the steering stopped working. The motor prop would drive forward and reverse with no...

    Screeching noise from fish finder

    I was out fishing yesterday and I believe my fish finder was causing a loud high frequency noise. It would come and go. It sounded like nails on a chaulkboard. I cant pinpoint what it was but it stopped when i turned off my fish finder. I have a Lowrance Hook 7 tripleshot. Im not very good...

    Loading boat onto trailer with bow mount trolling motor

    I just switched to a bow mount trolling motor from a transom mount. I didnt figure how difficult it would be to load the boat on the trailer with a cross wind. Does anyone have any tips to make it easier to load? I do have an outboard but i mostly fish electric only lakes. Right now i've...

    Adding batteries in series

    I've been looking into these and saw some battery experts on Youtube take them apart and according to them they are surprisingly well made. They do have over temp cut-off built into the internal BMS but do not have under temp charging cut off. Most people that have issues with them charged...

    Adding batteries in series

    Thats definitely a possibility with chinese amazon junk. I read that the chinese batteries dont have the low temp cutoff for charging below 32F. If you charge below 32F it ruins your battery. It looks like you can discharge down to -20 though

    Adding batteries in series

    I just upgraded from a 12v 55lb thrust Endura Transom Mount to a 70lb 24v MinnKota Powerdrive w/ Ipilot. I bought a 12v Marine deep cycle Diehard from Autozone last year to run the 55lb 90ah if i remember correctly. Would it be okay to buy the same exact battery and add it in series with the...

    Crooked Jon Boat?

    The bow itself looks straight but it looks like its twisted from the middle to the stern. It looks like someone dropped it on its side.

    Pedastals - threaded vs non-threaded

    Sometimes the pedestal base has a plastic clip that expands after it passes the bottom part of the base. if you get a pry bar under the pedestal it will pop it up.
