Strange spot for it but thanks again for the quick reply!

One More quick question. It looks like the wires fro the trolling motor come out of the foot pedal in your pictures. Is that correct?

Thanks for the quick reply. That's the 3rd or 4th time I have heard that about those motors. I might go with the equivalent motor guide which is pretty much the exact same motor but they don't have it at walmart. I have a trip coming up and basically have to pick up the trolling motor and...

Hey Johnny, I finally got mine out on the water and it is awesome except for the trolling motor set up I have. I am actually going to get the Minn Kota Edge 45 which I think is the same one you have. How do you like it? I can't find the owner's manual for that thing online anywhere and I was...

I spent the day carpeting the front deck and got it all done!!! I think it turned out pretty good.

I finally got the decking cut and sealed. I had to make a little bit of a modification on the front where the trolling motor plug is so I need to re-carpet that. All I need is carpet on the deck and to install it. I can't wait to get this thing on the water!!! Does anyone out there know if...

Looks Great. I am definitely jealous of the fish finder you have. I am running a fishing buddy and it pretty much sucks but at least I know how deep I am. Keep up the good work.

After a bit of a hiatus due to lack of time and funds to work on the boat I have been slowly getting things done. I finally finished the front decking today and will post a pick of the completed framing after I put all my tools away and it doesn't look like a tool box!!! I got the middle...

Johnny, Here is a pic of how I ran the conduit. This is the front end of the back bench. You will notice the cuts on the top and bottom of the flange where the rib on the side of the boat is. Let me know if you need anything else. When I decided to do the boat mod I dove head first into...

Hey Johnny, I am only running one battery and have it in the middle like I said and then wire running from the back to the battery and the front to the battery. If you are going to buy an actually bow mounted trolling motor I would go as small as you can go which is 42 lbs. I think. Make sure...

Hey, I have the same exact set up that you have!!!!! How funny. The 1436 and the trailer from Harbor Freight. The way I ran my wiring around the boat is with 1/2" electrical pvc conduit. You can run it in between the side of the boat and the seats with a little force and minor cutting...

Thanks to a great Diagram by Rick James and other comments from LonLB and Bassboy1 from this thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17254&hilit=wiring+diagrams I put together a wiring plan for the Tracker Topper. Can anyone please give me some comments on this baby. Thanks...

Thanks for the well wishes on the build. I am currently running a 9' Tracker Bantam which is basically a pond prowler. I weigh about 260 and I fish that with my Brother in Law in a small pond with a trolling motor and battery plus about 14 rods between the two of us an it worked. We had to...

I have read a lot about stability issues with this size of a boat with a deck. I am planning on building the decks level with the benches and doing all of the framing with Aluminum angle to keep the weight down and extending the front deck past the front bench to the next rib and placing the...

That is definitely on the list since I have Navionics on my Cell phone and it drains the battery pretty quick. The Minn Kota Battery Box that I have has 2 accessory outlets on it that come in extremely handy. I use that set up know on my little Pond Prowler and it works well.

I guess it depends on who you ask!! If I get the boat for Christmas then my Wife may not think I have been good!!! Hopefully when I get it dialed in she will like going out on the water a little more!!

Hi everyone!!! I am hoping to get a Topper 1436 Jon Boat for Christmas and I want to convert it into a bassin machine!!! This site is awesome and I have found some great ideas. I was hoping to get some help on the electrical part of the boat. I am a good carpenter so I am not too worried...
