    thrust size ?

    I would run a55 lb thrust endura max .i can tell you from 30 yrs of experience I would not go any smaller . I run electric only. I’was pushing at the time a 1448 weld built fully loaded. Now a 1648 grizzly. 45lb will work until you get into a 25mph wind and it has trouble keeping up . Something...

    Trolling motor upgrade

    FYI. When you run power for your helix make sure you run 10 gauge marine wire straight to the battery with the proper fuse. Helix don’t like voltage drop . Ask me how I know. Lol

    Trolling motor upgrade

    I have run a Powerdrive for a long time! I recently stepped up to a terrova . A much nicer motor for sure. I also ran the 1st gen of I pilot. It was a game changer for me. ( I know cliché ) but it was far from perfect but it was ok, better than being chained to the pedal. With all that said when...

    Does anyone have their fish finder in a case ?

    I keep my helix and my I pilot remote in a pelican waterproof case . They are not cheap , but neither is what’s in it . Harbour freight/ northern have similar cases . The best protection you can get in my humble opinion . Have not cracked a screen yet and have been doing it this way for years.

    I was the boat ramp idiot

    I think we have all been that person! Don’t beat yourself up to bad. Been there done that ! And sooner or later I’ll go back for seconds . We call it geeking out, and we are all guilty at some point of it. Good luck in the future and tight lines !

    Is the 2nd Gen Terrova really THAT bad?

    Save your money on a new terrova. The new one is way better. If you creep down the banks a lot you’ll love I pilot/autopilot.

    Is the 2nd Gen Terrova really THAT bad?

The pre Bluetooth where not not all that accurate of the Spot-Lock .20-25 ft off but she just had learned to compensate for it .Now the Bluetooth terrova it’s like a night and day difference. The bt...

    Coosa board and sringer spacing

I have access to a local dist. of the blue water 26 coosa and at eve en only 1/2 thick it would have less flex than what I have I...

    Coosa board and sringer spacing

    Hello all! Greetings from the mid Atlantic east coast! I recently found this site and glad I did! I wish it was around when I did my first Alumacraft 1232. I bought a weldbuilt 14ft mod v about 10 years ago and put an aluminum floor in it when I bought it. Well it’s quite frankly been a great...
