Agree also. But bigger is usually better. More storage, space, and better in the rough stuff. Extras can be added later, but boat length can’t. Throttling back on the bigger boat with a 150 will...

Agree. These charging issues with the X2 are well documented here on BBC. That is why the Odyssey 31 AGM is a better choice. However, at the price, you are approaching the cost of a good lithium...

Now that your boat is stripped, use a sealant. I use Pro Tec once a season after my boat is stripped. Fibreglass is porous and a sealant will seal it properly. After that, use any other wax, quick...

I’m wondering if, when you plug it in when you get home, that it is not coming to full charge using the power pole charger. That was an issue with that X2/Northstar and the Dual Pro chargers....

Glad you figured it out. And I wouldn’t worry about the colonoscopy. It’s the night before with the prep that is not fun :laugh::laugh:

Totally agree :thumb up2::thumb up2:

Enersys, the parent company of Odyssey, bought Northstar a couple of years ago. Hard to tell if the X2/Northstar is now identical to the Odyssey 31 AGM. Weights are different, casing is a bit...

This. Probably the best one around.

What a remarkable young man. Great pic

Very excellent product. The Chemical Guys products are a little more money than most others, but, IMO, worth it.

Exactly. However, knowing that fibreglass is porous, I believe that sealing first is the most important process. After that use your favourite product. At the beginning of the season, I strip and...

Agree with this. After a good cleaning in an ultrasound, Shimano bearings spin forever. Better than any other brand I have cleaned, including my Daiwas.

Trick step, Troll Tamer lock down. My Talon is so old that RMP does not make a light for it, so, I bought a small adjustable stern light on Amazon, screwed it to the top of the Talon, and ran the...

Up until recently, I have only built rods using Rainshadow blanks. RX10 (high end) and Revelation (lower range). The past two months I have built 4 rods on the Bushido blanks. I would compare them to...

Odyssey group 31. X2 is fussy about charging for some

Although a Classic, I got a lot more bow lift when I went from a 3 blade Fury to a 4 blade Bravo FS. You can try some of the recommendations mentioned above like jack plate height and weight...

Sorry to hear about your poor experience. The internet is a great place to complain, but, those with positive experiences don’t post. MK likely outsells most other brands and generally thought to be...

I will never forget the first time I got in my first Cat in 2011, a Puma FTD. Jumped in, took off, and jumped on that trim switch. Boat was all over the place. Thought something was wrong with the...

The odd time I would have a problem with the dash panel in any of my Cats, first thing I would try is unplugging it from the back to re-boot.

I have a group 31 AGM running my 115 Opti and 2 helix 9’s on my Lund.

Absolutely it helps and have been doing it this way for years. If I don’t use it, the coupler compresses a little bit, but, just enough to prevent it from releasing from the hitch ball.

Mike, up until recently I used IPA. Somewhere I ran across a suggestion to use acetone. I find it does a better job on the reel seat inserts. I still use IPA everywhere else

I learned how to build rods several years ago. I can build a rod that is equivalent, or IMO better than an NRX, for about 300 CAD (Canadian dollars). An NRX is 900 CAD. However, if I were still...

I would order the insert and epoxy it in. It is a bit tricky though cleaning the epoxy from the openings on the seat. I use acetone. Then just use tape arbors. It will look really nice.

Jeff, as mentioned above, I would also use a piece of composite instead of wood. No worries with rot later on. To fasten, I have used a good 2 part epoxy (permanent though). BCB uses a product...
