My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that. If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh… -

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything... -
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it. I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear. Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this. -
You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away. -

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.

Question
52#FLATHEAD
I have started collecting the Rapala Pilkki. I see on Raps HSOforum that the Pilkki was introduced in 1965 & vertical jigging in 1972.
I have one Pilkki in the package that says 1972 on the back & it is smooth & sculpted like a fish w/ a chain & hook.
I have another one that is in a much smaller package w/ out a barcode & has instructions for both a Pilkki & a jigging lure. It is made w/ raised pimples all over it & is just barely shaped like a fish w/ a red blade & treble hook. There is not a date on this package.
Any idea of its age?
I just got another one that looks like a jiggin rap but came in a box that says "alkup erainen Rapala pilkki" on one side & says "original Rapala jigging" on the other & then says "jigging pilkki" & "jigging model tasapaino pilkki" on the ends of the box. It's metal & has Rapala in black paint on it's belly. Inside of the box it has a list of awards that have been won & the last one is 1966. I looked at the paper instructions that came w/ it the Normark address for Minnesota does have a zip code.
How can I find out how old this is?
When did they start the jigging Rap & using that name for it?
Is Pilkki just a name for jig? Or was named after the designer of the jig?
