Howdy, somebody musta dropped viagra in the lake..'cause the water's gettin' stiff!!
Alright, enough o' my Tom-foolery! Got me an old timey power auger, been un-run for two years because I've been dependent (ugg!) on my fellow fish-heads to help me out with the ice fishin'. Problem is the fitting for the fuel line IN to the engine, a nice powdered-metal L-shaped fitting broke off and J-B Weld didn't do the trick. Tried to cheap-ize the repair now didn't I??!! Need a good small engine repair-guy suggestion from one of ya'll friendly types!
Won't be long now, I'll be hangin' up the archery and gettin' down with the witchery of the fishery! Heeyaa!
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.
