Looking to upgrade to a TM with a spot lock function... I mostly crappie fish but have never not had a foot pedal. Do you think I’ll miss losing the foot pedal? Is there a good price reasonable...

I have fought this issue now through 5 duck seasons. Ever since I put a hydraulic jack plate on my boat, my steering cable will freeze up in temps below freezing. I have installed a 3 new steering...

His motor isn't supposed to turn over 6000 either but it is according to his smartcraft gage. The motor starts beeping at him at 6500 but it still has more throttle left.

I think he's pretty set...

I'll also mention his prop to pad is 9.5" that seems low compared to all bass boats on here but I don't know how that stacks up for a flat bottom Jon.

Hi all. I'm looking for advice on my buddy's duck boat. He has an 1860 flat bottom Jon loaded to the gills on weight (old and very heavy). He just got a new (used) motor for his boat but he's...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We're going to rent to be on the safe side.

We'll be between Bull Shoals and Norkork. I guess his dad is pretty hesitant to fish in low waters so I wouldn't expect us to be out there if the water is super low.

Does that change anything or...

Hi- some friends and I are going down to AR for the weekend to fish the white river. I never been down there before but my friend fishes it a lot from his dad's boat. We'll probably need a second...

Well that makes more sense. Thanks Brian!

So I bought the parts but decided to go with 2 9" light bars instead... I understand that you took off the original hardware and I see that you mounted the RAM diamond plate to the light but I don't...

I hope the integrate some of the new features back into the 2017 RT188 like the coinbox and the step doubling as a storage box.

wow! Ideal boat right there! White rt198p with a white g2 hanging off the back!

I'm doing this immediately to my duck boat! I've been struggling with a good way to get removable lights and this is what I've been looking for! I've finally seen the light (pun intended)!:thumb...

Ditto... I feel like this TM is what we've been missing but I'd hate to give up my recessed trolling motor tray.

Man I want one! Definitely best of both worlds! But does it fit in a recessed trolling motor tray?????

^^^What he said! Great looking boat!:eek:

I have the same boat (bought used with no manual as well). My ACC switch isn't connected to anything. Wires are loose (not connected to power) but ready to be wired to anything I need. I've left them...

Crazy! Yah I wouldn't have thought it would have been that big of a difference!

Thanks for the replies! I suspected white would be cooler but couldn't confirm. I'm surprised more people don't order white! Plus the it looks awesome!:wink:

As I day dream about one day pulling the trigger on a new RT188 I find myself asking if boat color has a practical purpose?

is a white rt188 significantly cooler than a black boat? I feel like my...

Thanks for the info, I can see the value and makes complete sense. I fish a lot of brush piles for crappie so I think I'll still want to see directly under the trolling motor. I also don't have a...

Fantastic looking boat! I hope I can make the leap one day.

quick question - I may have missed it but why did you decide to run your bow sonar off of your alumaducer in the battery compartment...

I want to know how well they work in 15 degree weather on the river... ie. will they freeze solid after being used a couple times and getting water in them. Otherwise, I'd love to put two on my duck...

Hey Everyone,

I'm wanting to repower and I'm looking for a 60 hp yamaha. Do you know where I should look if I wanted to buy one used? Are there good used outboards available or am I better off...

I know spinningreel ran into this issue and posted about it on another thread. He mentioned that the water was seeping through at the screws. He thought about backing out the screws and adding a...
