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
Doonbuggy
Hello. Looking for a little advice on the following:
I have an older Minnkota Auto Pilot - 36#lbs thrust.
When the motor is in the cradle and is horizontal and out of the water I can run it at max speed and it runs fine.
However, when vertical and being used in the water it "hiccups" - the power goes in and out and I cannot bring it past 40% of max speed w/o it working. This weekend it was very fussy and sometimes simply would not work.
The battery is new and fully charged so that is not it. Is it the motor's internal gizmos that are not working?
Connection to the battery? Point where the plug goes in, etc??
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
DB
