I have had the same issue with some of my reels and I use Bullfrog sunscreen and have suspected that the sunscreen is what's causing the issue. Did you have an issue with yours due to the bullfrog...

Lightening, I just wanted to clarify with you. I have a 2004 Marine Master trailer with the UFP Gold Hubs as well and am having issues. I just got back from a trip to TX and noticed I have two of...

Hey Wayne, thanks for the info. I bought and installed the two boxes as you suggested and I have noticed an issue on my units that I wanted to get your input on if you don’t mind. When I have my...

Make sure you bleed those lines out really well. If you had open lines when backing your trailer into the water, I'm sure you got water in the empty lines to some extent.

I think two is a must if you want to keep your boat positioned and not have to keep dealing with the trolling motor to keep your boat positioned.

I agree with Lightning, I did the same thing. Easy fix and makes it quick if you need to temporarily remove the Talons for any reason.

I run two 12 foot talons. Have had them on my boat now for about 5 years with no issues and they work great. I went with the Talons for a few reasons. First, I had no room for hydraulic pumps in...

Update...........I purchased a length of the bungee cord on Amazon as you suggested, cut pieces to length, installed them and tied knots on the backside as mentioned. Perfect fix and looks great !!...

Yours must be different than mine The straps inside my rod locker do not have screws. They are round rubber straps that go through the holes on each side of the rod cradles, then get crimped with...

Its hard to find anything anymore that isn't Chinese junk from China.

LOL. I agree with you assessment..........both the trailer fix AND description of previous trailer owner. LOL

What is your prop to pad height? Maybe your engine is too high on the jackplate and once up and running your lower unit is not deep enough in the water thus the drop in water pressure?

Thanks Lightning 6. That is great feedback/info. I have two 12 foot talons on the rear as well and you are right, they are heavy. Your setup is very similar to mine which is why your feedback is...

Just curious if anyone has tried a Mercury Fury prop on a TR196 with 200 Optimax setup? And if so, what pitch?

I'm currently running a 26 pitch Tempest, and the boat performs fairly well, but I...

Yeah, but that's not the straps I am referring to. I'm talking about the ones that came with the boat and are located down in side the rod locker that hold the butt end of the rods.

I added Blue Water Extreme Pro LED lights on my TR196 and had no issues with foam. Just had to access the hull walls through the starboard and port storage accesses which was tight, but again,...

Great idea !! Thanks.

Yes, it looks exactly like the ones on Great Lakes Skipper. But there are no fasteners to drill out. It's actaully rubber straps that go through the holes in the black plastic, then there are brass...

Does anyone know where a person can buy replacement rubber straps that go in the Triton Rod lockers that help hold the rod handles in the cradles? All but one in my 2004 TR196 has now broken. Not...

Those straps are a great idea !!

Well.....this is concerning. I have that same exact trolling motor just a newer version. I had a 2004 version of that same motor up until I replaced it a couple of years ago and never had any...
