    Should I buy....

    Well I found a Minn Kota Endura 40# for $60 on CL and bought it this morning. It looks brand new and the guy said he used it 4 times on a jon boat. I will be in a lot of shallow rivers/creeks down here so I figured better get that composite shaft. Thanks for the help.

    Should I buy....

    I'll only be in fresh water but are the Riptide motors better than the Enduras? Searching for Minn Kotas I found a 40# riptide about the same price. Also found a Die Hard 3HP? How many pounds of thrust would that be equal to? Thanks for any help, I don't want to make an impulse buy and get...

    Should I buy....

    Thanks Bassboy! Thats just what I wanted to know. One of the reasons I was looking at the endura is because of the composite shaft and the reviews say its quiet and doesn't suck the battery. Now I just need to find one of those on craigs list 8)

    Should I buy....

    I found a MotorGuide 34# Trolling motor on Craig's List for $75 and the guy said he used it 3 or 4 times on an inflatable. I can not find one to match the picture so I asume it may be an older one. I was going to get the Minn Kota for around $100 and this has more thrust. It will be the main...

    best waterproof sealer on wood

    That epoxy is strong but doesn't that get slippery? Also what do they use on the big fancy off-shore boats that have all the pretty teak wood. I went out on a 48' custom fishing charter once and the whole cabin back wall and interior where exposed wood. This boat was from the 40's or 50's and it...

    Fishing Contest !!! - ***GO TO TIE BREAKER***

    LMAO...man when you have kids no bobber means no fishing...your too busy baiting, untangeling, unhooking fish, etc. to put your own line in the water. Didn't get any this morning but don't think I'm not trying [-X

I use one of the screwdriver looking things thats sharp so you can just insert it into the wire then ground the other side. If the light comes on its working. If they all function you know the problem is on the trailer...
