Big Dipper comes in pretty handy

Ok, I'm trying to make a living selling Big Dippers, so I hope you guys don't mind if I tell story and promote my product a little every now and then.

Yesterday I was driving down a Minimum maintanence road up here in Northern MN (running my dog), and I got pretty darn stuck and hung up when I tried to turn around and the blown in snow was a lot deeper than it looked. I kinda figured I was screwed being 1/2 mile off the main road in a pretty remote area (-5 below and crisp wind), Anyhow I happened to have a Big Dipper in the back and started digging. I took my time and moved alot of snow in 10 -12 minutes, locked in the hubs and rocked the old Toyota out and got back on the road.

The moral of this story: buy an extra big Dipper and keep it in the trunk or back seat, you never know when it'll come in handy.

Best Regards, Mark Edevold

I can't tell you yet because I haven't got mine yet. But I'm sure it's going to look real nice in my new Snow Boat Explorer. Ran all the way to Burnsville to get it today at lunch. Hopefully I will be able to baptize the Big Dipper in the cool waters of the Horseshoe Chain before the ice is gone.

How about a safe play toy for the younguns that won't break or go down the hole.

Rick I didn't buy it in Burnsville. I don't even know if they have them. I meant in my earlier message that I got a Snow Boat. Not the Big Dipper. Sorry that I didn't clarify that.

Just because ice is gone don't put your big dipper away. I had to dig some footings for a deck I am building . 42" deep and bell shaped at the bottom . The Big Dipper did a great job in shaping the bottom of the footing and getting all the dirt out. Should paint them orange and sell them at Home Depot.

They are literally the toughest dippers I've ever seen.

      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…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
