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
Muskieguy
I still need help with a problem. My temp gauge is still registering <100 degrees when I took it to the river this weekend. I followed the advice of kjgmh in this post http://fishingminnesota.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/003359.html and the results were.
Removed the sender wire from the motor and touched it to a ground, which caused the Temp Gauge to read full HOT. (from what I understand tells me the gauge is OK)
Started the boat and poured HOT water into the earmuffs and after about 10 minutes the Temp Gauge read about 160. My boat has a 160 degree thermostat. (to me that means the sender is ok?)
Could I possibly have a thermostat problem? Is it possible that the tstat is stuck open which would never let the motor heat up to correct operating tempature???(constantly pulling cold water into the cooling system, therefore the operating temp of less than 100 degrees??)
HELP PLEASE, this is driving me nuts.
Thanks,
Muskieguy............
