I have had mine out for a good day over 5 hrs constant run time with the stock battery and it still had life in it. I am not sure how much since there is not a meter though. Hope that helps.

Thanks man. I turned it on for 5 hours last night and still had 40% on a 7amp battery. I was doing some prefishing today for a UPL event and dropped the camera down, I'm more then impressed with the camera so far.

The way servocam describes his 825c automatically switching from color to b&w is exactly the way my 825c works. It isn't simple “color fading” as Dave suggested. It definitely switches automatically. Also, there is no menu option to manually switch the 825c between color and b&w, unless there's a firmware update I don't have.

You are correct. Its isnt your average b/w camera. I think many of you are not aware of its features. To those who think the Marcum color cam isnt worth the $$$ then watch the camera features of this video:

Its one thing to have a camera for viewing, anyone with black & white camera does that. But to take to another level that is what Marcum does with their color cams.

P.S. I will glady turn in my old b/w cam for the Marcum color anyday if I could afford it. smile

Well I just watched the promo for the color unit. The depth, direction and temp are great features and may be worth the extra money.

On my B&W camera I have found the light to be less than useful. It casts the light above the viewing area on my camera and so it doesn't do much good. When I first got the rig I was told it was made that way but it doesn't make much sense to me. Anyone else have that concern?

      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?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
