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
Killin Time
I have a 2001 40HP merc 2 cyl that just started acting up. If you run WOT it will start to cut out after about 30 seconds or so. RPMs drop off to about 4500 or so like it is starving for gas and then pick up again after about 15 seconds. If I run it at 5000 (vs 5500 WOT) it doesn't have the problem. I have checked the fuel filter, looked at the float bowls to see if there was any junk at it all looks fine. I have even used a fresh tank of gas to see if that made a differnce. I have always fogged and used seafoam in every tank since I got it new.
Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks
Don
