I'm only finishing my second full season with a bow mount Minnkota 55PD Powerdrive and went to use it last weekend only to discover that I can't turn it to the right with the foot pedal. It still has complete power range and will turn to the left. Anyone know if this is a common problem with these, and more importantly, if the "common man" can do anything more to try and fix? The previous usage was in dry conditions and it worked fine, then sat for a week and suddenly didn't work. Replaced in-line fuse to no avail and no issues with any wiring. It would almost seem as though some kind of contact isn't working in the pedal--curious if that's something I should open up to look at or leave to the electronics experts. Anyone experience the same thing or have any advice? Thanks in advance! --ERIK
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
