Brush Guards I had Custom made, it is the only one like it so far, I suspect he will make a few more just like it and also with variances to suit each rider. I also had him put mounts in and cutout the expanded metal for the PIAA's before he shipped them.

I bought the piaa lights. There is a factory wiring kit for the piaas so I used that and ordered an illuminated switch vs the round one it comes with.

This new machine is so much better on fuel consumnption than the 08-800's. This thing has a light front end and will freely wheelie from 8-10 mph..... not that I recommend driving like that, I have witnessed it never experienced it first hand.

Keep talking and my 800 will be gone sooner then later gringrin.

Dan

I don't recommend test driving one winkgrincool

The Power steering is awesome, although it definetly took some getting used to, But after 150+ miles I wouldn't ride one without it. I can say at this time there is nothing about this machine that I do not like.... esxcept maybe how the rear brake lines are ran against the a-arm with no a-arm guards. But I will take care of that issue soon enough.

I don't even like loading her 800 on the trailer anymore. She's trying to negotiate a deal on a new one right now. She might have a deal worked out on a non-eps. That's all on her though, my only contrubution will be driving the truck and trailer, or atleast riding with.

SomethingFishy, looks like an ATV-Guru brush gaurd?? Based on what I've read from rinconriders, you'll love that thing.

Does the 850 keep cooled pretty well? My ol man's 800 gets hot after a few minutes of normal use, just wondering if they fixed it with the new machine. I think it has a larger radiator?

Yes they are customs out of the Guru workshop.

So far it seems to cool just fine. Higher radiator, 20% bigger a, and a better angle to keep the crud out of it. Seems to get airflow from the front and sides just fine. She will get her first real workout on a nice long trip in Idaho in a few short weeks.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
