Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today -
Aw, man, sorry to hear that. Shed some tears and remember her well. They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others. -

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...

Question
rhski
Am having trouble getting a good signal with my colorpoint. I believe the transducer has gone bad as i need to turn the gain up all the way and can only see my lure when i flick it and then just barely. It has always worked just fine till i took it out this year for the first time. The battery is ok and i can read the bottom and also see fish but it acts as tho i don't have the gain turned high enough even tho i crank it up all the way to ten. The transducer has developed a little bulge on the bottom so suspect that is it. I tried a friend's transducer and it seemed to work ok. Now the problem is i have called everywhere and done a search on the internet and at this point i don't believe there exists a transducer anywhere. I know i should just get an lx5 but $$$$$. Any ideas?
