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. -

I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout. Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.

Question
Tuds75
Let me Preface this by saying: on a rainy day some moisture got into the screen of the player and I've had this problems ever since. But in the past I've had it on during rain where I've known it has gotten wet. And it wasn't driving rain that water logged the entire deck. The unit in question is a Seaworthy 2300.
Ok that being said, my marine radio is not functioning normal. I've let it dry out and now it appears everything in the deck is working fine. The radio, volume and CD are functioning without any skips or errors, but no sound is coming out. It is almost like the radio is muted (I've checked the mute button). I've tried playing the radio and CD player and both run well except there is no sound. I am wondering if anyone knows if the problems is the head unit, the speakers, or the wiring. I'd hate to replace the entire unit and speakers when there could be a simple fix.
Any tips or if anyone has had a similar problem and how they got it fixed. Of all the other stuff on the boat, the stereo is one thing I don't mind going out (I can always bring an old radio on the boat), but its more not knowing what is precisely wrong and how I can go about fixing the problems.
Thanks in Advance.
