Yukon construction

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Well, received my Yukon today and during contstuction, I realized Clam Corp. forgot about 4 screws needed for the build. Not a big deal, but I was just a little dissapointed when I was putting it together. I'm going to just run to the hardware store tomorrow, because it will be much less of a headache for me than to call in and have to wait a few more days.

I'm not trying to rip on any body here, because believe, me, I know what goes into packaging these kinds of things. Any body have similar situations?

I bought and put together my yukon on saturday and actually had the opposite happen. Got done and had a bag of about 12 screws left over. Usually I just chalk this up to not paying attention to the directions, but I don't see anything falling off or apart, so I think they were just extras.

Not a Yukon, but years ago, I bought a 6800 clam. The first time I set it up in my basement, a nut pulled through the black plastic flooring in one corner. I put large washers under all the nuts before I ever used it.

I believe the company headquarters are in Medina, not far from you.

My wife just picked up an older clam from a co-worker, so now we have two. Interesting to see the evolution of the product.

About 5 years ago I bought a Fish Trap Pro. Instead of getting a left and right bracket for the seat I got two brackets for the same side. Frustrating, but fortunately I worked close to their office and got the correct part in a few days. Ever since then I couldn't be happier with the house grin.gif

    • 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.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • 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...
    • 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?
