Went to use my Trolling Motor (factory installed bow mount 2000 Minnkota PowerDrive 50lb thrust) and it wasn't getting any juice, NONE. Checked the fuse labled 12vt(main fuse panel) and it was fine. Checked the connection at the battery, wing nuts were tight. I used it last week and everything was fine. Now it doesn't work. My buddy said some boats are equiped with a seperate fuse for trolling motors? Any truth to this? Where would I find it? Also, How would I tell if my Trolling Motor is the culprit or if the problem lies somewhere between where my trolling motor plugs in and the battery?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
