Hey guys looking for some help with my Minn Kota Maxxum 101. The motor is mounted on the bow to a Lund 2025. For the second time the plastic base of the motor that attaches to the bow of the boat has broken. The first time the base simply peeled itself off of the bow breaking away from the bolts when used at full tilt in rough head wind. The second time while trying to maunever in wind the whole plastic base cracked in the middle on the port side and is now very fragile and wants to break completely. Seems pretty cheap to me. Do I just order a new one and be careful or does Minn Kota offer something more sturdy similar to the Gator mount that Motor guide makes?
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.
