nah, not really a secret code. but it may be a little different than you think. these jon boat measuring numbers are like golf scores, the lower the better numbers. you should clearly trade me your new 1438 for my almost new 1232. Id do that for a nice guy like you :lol:

Jacksonville Florida I wouldnt mind having my 5 horse AND a 55 lb TM, but Im very limited on space, not to mention funds. my plan would be to sell the 5 horse (its a 2000, 4 stroke) for maybe $650 if lucky and use the funds to buy the 55 lb TM, good battery and wire it up right by extending the...

thinking about ditching my 5 horse Nissan 4 stroke for a 50 or 55 lb thrust trolling motor. I know my speed will probably go from about 12-13 mph to 3, maybe 4. cons for gas power * I fish small saltwater creeks so I dont need something to get me far * Ive been stranded twice (but Im pretty...

I dont follow. I used my hose & tank and got weak motor power, fuel wouldnt pump thru hose, and motor ran out of fuel. I used my hose on my friends tank and had the same problem weak motor power, fuel wouldnt pump thru hose, and motor ran out of fuel. when I switched to my friends hose on his...

went out again today and found out its not my tank. luckily I had my friends tank and fuel line. turns out my problem is the fuel line. the line assembly (bulb, line, connectors) are new, so is the inline filter. I bought the fuel line assembly at kmart, I think the brand was seasense. so when...

the motor is a 5 horse 4 stroke nissan. 2000 I think. I did pick up another gas can, and fuel hose, from my friend so Ill check it tomorrow. at first my problem was that the motor was not running as strong as it should. then after fooling with the fuel connections the motor ran fine. then ran...

so my plywood has been added to the benches and my holes are cut and foam removed. I think Im finished. I decided not not to cut in to the very front bench.

Ive got a fuel hose that is not pulling fuel from the tank. sometimes (not often) the bulb gets solid like its full but I have an inline filter after the bulb that is not filling with fuel. points that may be important: * Ive replaced the fuel connector at the tank * Ive replaced the hose/bulb...

after I removed the foam from the middle seat I noticed that the bench wasnt as sturdy. but I will have my swivel seats/seat inserts & bases attached to plywood (19/32) so Im hoping the stability will be fine.

yeah I would have liked to go through the top but Im putting carpeted plywood on the top and didnt want to have a hinged seat. I made the cuts today and dug out some foam #-o . what a pain. I ended up taking out all of the foam from the middle bench. Ive left some of the foam for the back bench...

thanks guys. another thing I forgot to ask (but have since edited the post to ask), when taking out the foam are you guys removing all the foam for the bench or just some/most of the foam?

due to a lack of storage space on my alumacraft 1232, Im thinking of cutting in to my bench seats. I know plenty have done this before but Im wondering how this will affect a small 1232. if I cut as proposed in the pic below, will I lose strength in the benches when sitting on inserted seats...

do you have a link to the cabelas switch box?

Id say your diagram is close. I would only have one positive wire from the battery to the fuse panel, then from there all the positives to the devices/lights. I would also have one ground wire from the battery to the switch box, then the grounds to each device/light. you can put a bolt through...

Im trying to avoid spending $80-$100 in lighting costs (lights, switches, control box, wiring, fuses/board) since I would only use the lights maybe 5 times a year. I found the light below on a local kayak fishing forum. think these will work good on small jons ? thread with more info ...

got my battery from Amazon today. this thing weighs 5 lbs 5 ounces. turns out there is a charge indicator on the charger. doesnt have auto shut off but it is nice to have some type of indication of the charge status.

I dont remember using it when I sat up front. I never used the trolling motor after I made sure it was set up right, and I never use a fish finder to find fish (mostly just for depth). but I do remember that I did place it there based on good visibility from the rear seat. and looking at the...

youre right. when I installed the lights I hadnt decided to install the trolling motor at the bow. Ive got a 1232 now and Im thinking about installing the the same bow & stern lights pictured above. the light at the stern is a flip up 12" light. they are really affordable.

the trolling motor pictured above is a transom mount. I just spun the head around. on minn kota endura TMs it should be as easy as removing 1 screw under the head unit. there may have been a slight pain getting the wires to stay out of the way when putting the screw back in. the screw goes...
