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.

Question
92python
Time to do maintenance on the boat.
I have an older Autopilot with a problem. The motor doesn't go back into the upright, out of the water, stowed position and lock into the cowling anymore.
If you take the side plate off, you see that the 2 metal spacers and the rubber spacer that keep the pin down and the motor in a position that will lock the motor into the cowling have faller out of place.
This has happened to me in the past so I have the extra spacers. The problem is I have had trouble installing them so the spacers don't slip out again.
How the heck do you squeeze that metal / rubber / metal sandwhich together enough to get in into position?
If anyone understands what I am talking about please let me know.
