Lund Electrical Problems


davemeyer

Question

Just got the 2003 Fisherman out of storage for the first time this year and the main power wouldn't turn on. I could get the trolling motor running fine but nothing else. I checked all the fuses and they seemed to be in order. So I replaced both batteries and charged them but that didn't fix the problem. Has anyone had a similiar problem that could maybe help me out? I guess the next step would be a call to the dealer. (They weren't open today or I wouldn't even be writing this) Thanks for any suggestions.

You didn't pick a friendly little rodent this winter did you? I had one in my boat this winter and thankfully all it damaged was a pair of sweat pants. Made a nice little nest out of them.

Make sure you go under the dash and check all the wiring on the master panel.

I can't really help you out because I haven't found the solution yet, but I have the same problem with roughly the same boat. Well, I shouldn't say the same problem, I have power to move and start the big motor, but the aerator, bilge pump, and lights won't work. Like you, I've checked all the fuses and took the front panel off under which all the wiring looks OK...then again, I really don't know what to look for. Please post what you find to be the problem, I could use a little insight as well. Sorry I'm not more help. JH

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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?
    • 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.
