No problem glad I could help. Before you put any kind of backer glue or anything else on it, wait to make sure there are no pin hole leaks that we may need to go back and fix. Maybe you could hook up the trailer and drive it around a bit to see if anything leaks by jiggling it around a bit. That way if it does you won't have to drain any extra gas out of it if we need to fix a few spots. Good luck with it! wink

Leech, took the wheeler up to Mille Lacs today. Put more gas into it then what I drained out before you fixedd it. Pounded all over the place, even bumped up on the ice bridge and over about a foot high pressure ridge next to shore and nary a leak showed itself....I think you did it bud, I owe you that big breakfast at Denny's! Get in touch.

Yeah, this site has so many people willing to help, with such a wealth of knowledge in just about any situation a person runs into, it's great.

How to books, experimentation and ingenuity gets the job done when there is no other options, but nothing beats the experience of those that have been there and done that....!

Great to hear! Now don't go and start jumping ever pressure ridge you see and break my patch! laugh

Maybe I'll trade you a Crappie spot for the Denny's breakfast! smile

That would work. I still have you on for the 25th.
Well just to let you know my plan for the weekend of the 25th has changed. I am going up to the Brainard area and fishing Pelican and Big Trout Sat & Sun of that weekend since it is the last weekend for Walleye. But we could try and get together for a Crappies fishing day sometime if the ice holds up after that. wink

Leech...Alas, some good things aren't meant to last...the tank started leaking again. A small leak, but a leak none the less. I went out and bought myself a plastic weld kit...since I seen how you did it, now I should be able to do it. I'm gonna practice on something first, so I get a feel for it....I'll let you know.

      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.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      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.
