I decided to try to see what was going on at Nockamixon and Towhee in early spring. Didn't go as planned.... But I had to take a cast anyway!!

Hello tinboats! It has been a while since I have been to the forums, good to see it still going strong! I have a 1979 Chrysler 45 horse. Last winter I had to replace the shifting and throttle cables because the old ones corroded. After changing the cables it has never been right. I haven't...

I took a friend from church for his first ever bass fishing trip this past Saturday. We hit a local electric only lake for a few hours in the evening. The weather was all over from light rain to bright and sunny. Started out with baby brush hogs and senkos to see if we could get him his first...

I experienced my very own little "extreme makeover" this past month and a half and I figured I would share it with you all and brag on God a little bit! We bought our 1981 Fisher 16' Mod V last season and fished it like it came as our finances have been very tight. This spring we needed to give...

I found these...

I was wondering if anyone might know where to get a replacement potentiometer (speed control switch) on a 24V Evinrude Intruder 54. It is essentially the same as a Minn Kota Maxxum from what I understand. I have not been able to locate the specs for the right one. The one that broke (the leads...

I recently got one of these trolling motors from craigslist for $100.00. I am wondering what their max amp draw is so I can get the right breaker. It is an Evinrude 24V 54# Thrust. It looks exactly like the Minn Kota Maxxum series with the exception of the shaft. Here is a pic of one for sale...

In all honesty, if you need to get on plane ASAP. I would opt for a 20HP 2 stroke. The four stroke is going to add weight in the back that will make the hole shot slower, and have it ride deeper in the water. Honestly a 15 2stroke would probably even be better than the 20 4stroke. But like I...

Another question: What size batteries do you guys run for your 24V trolling motors? What are your experiences with your 24V setups? I have an "Evinrude" labeled Minn Kota 54# thrust 24V. The only thing that will be running off of it will be the trolling motor. Would two 24 series batteries be...

First time electric start owner here. I am wondering what I should do as far as maintanance for my cranking battery? I have on order a two bank onboard charger for my two trolling motor batteries, but what should I do with my cranking battery? Will it be ok if I charge it every few weeks with...

Question #1 Does a livewell overflow drain have to be above the waterline to work? I see only one thru-hull fitting beside the livewell. I am assuming both the drain and the overflow tubes would go to the same drain, but it appears to be below the waterline, but not by a whole lot. Will it still...

I pulled the trigger and bought a new (to me) boat. It is an 81 Fisher Marine SV160 bass boat with a Chrysler 45Hp on the back. It needs some cosmetic love when I can get around to it but for now it is going to get fishy. Got the boat, motor, trailer and all that is seen in the pics. He went...

Good luck! Hope you find a great deal on what you are looking for.

I made it out a few times this past week and a half since school has slowed down. My brother came to visit and I took him out on my boat out at Marsh Creek Lake. Was a beautiful Saturday with a lake load of people but we managed to stick some fish. I let him take the bow of the boat and run the...

Hey fellas, I am on my way to visit my wife's family and am looking for a decent place to fish for a day or two this week with my brother in law. I left the boat home so we would be shore bound. He lives near Greeneville off of I-81. In the past we have drowned worms in the Nolachucky (sp?)...

If it is hovering 30 feet over the water? https://www.foxnews.com/video2/video08.html?maven_referralObject=3957310&maven_referralPlaylistId=&sRevUrl=https://www.foxnews.com/ This guy is just insane!

I was wondering what is what in the world of marine GPS. I am clueless and I am looking to get a simple unit to go to coordinates and save some waypoints for the smaller lakes in the area. The big units with all of the navonics chips and maps aren't needed as the small places around me won't...

Me and my dad made our way this afternoon for a few hours of fishing at brunner's island. The water was crystal clear and very low. I managed a small LM bass as well as a small SM bass ( both around the 12" mark ) and my dad landed two small catfish on his minnows. I saw a ton of what looked...

Could you post a picture or two of your batteries wired together in parallel? I am thinking of going that route with my boat since I am going all electric this season. (unless of course there is such thing as an outboard fairy :lol: ) I have two deep cycle batteries that are identical with the...

I might be looking for an outboard in the soming days. But ven now as I look around there seems to be an ovewhelming majority of small outboards with the short shaft as compared to a long. Is it possible to mount a short shaft on a 20" transom? The obvious concerns would be the ability of fresh...
