I didn't move the winch post but drilled a new hole and moved the winch itself forward toward truck about 1 inch the motor was hitting the winch not the roller. Tested once so far so good. Otherwise...

Stratos trail trailer with push out away from winch setup but new trolling motor now hits winch when launching. The bar with the roller pivots down and rearward when launching is supposed to keep...
That Bluesea 70 amp 48 volt dc surface mount switch looks nice.
I guess even with a shutoff switch you are still dealing with contacts of some sort in a wet or damp environment. Now I'm looking at the battery tender plug.
I guess I am looking for recommendations on the best type shutoff switch. A push button circuit breaker seems a little weak for constant turning on and off for battery recharging.
So I bought a new Ulterra 110 lb, 36v trolling motor about a month and a half ago. I recently started having strange problems with spot lock motor spinning wrapping up wires and stow & deploy...
I just read that also in the helix 10 manual on page 254 under specs control head power input 10 - 20 VDC
That eases my pain, but 18 vdc is not good for the life of a wet cell 12v battery.
I just installed a new Helix 10 sonar/gps unit and have it hooked up to the starting battery. I have a volt gauge on my dash that says my battery is charging at 18 volts when I am running the big...
How about T-H Marine kvd Kong. Adjusts to max 12”. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/t-h-marine-kvd-kong-electronics-mount
That sure is some good luck. Now all you need to do is mail them a check for $1000 to complete the processing.
I am going with a flasher for high speed use, since I already have one for ice fishing anyway. I used to like the in-dash flashers but humminbird and Lowrance quit making them. I like the idea of...
If it works fine. I have had 3 different fiberglass boats with shoot through the hull, all 3 that I epoxy shoot through the hull ended up failing after time. They work good for maybe the first 5...
A lot of these new down imaging, side imaging, 360* imaging, transducers need to be mounted in the water. Many are now using a 2 transducer setup. One for high speed that needs to skim on the water...
"Shoot-through" the Hull Transducer - "In-hull" Transducer
The "Shoot-through" the hull type transducer is mounted inside of the hull, usually in a bilge, sump or keel, permanently adhered...
I have had bad luck with epoxy the transducer in the bilge before. It worked ok at first but readings became more and more difficult, I mean I kept having to turn the gain higher and higher then...
My boat has a stepped transom and I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to properly mount a high speed transducer?
If it matters the boat is a 1993 Stratos 219F. I will try and...
Smallies should be on the beds, the crappie spawn is just now over.
When I haven't run my motor in a long while I pump the vro oil primer bulb when I first start up. How hard should the bulb be? It is very stiff but does feel like I am pumping some oil, it never gets...
How about just taking the battery out and having it tested, any auto parts store or descent mechanic has a battery load tester. I forgot to mention charge the battery first on a good 10 amp charger...
First off do any more testing with a remote 6 gallon gas can mixed 50:1 with oil.Then take the oil line off at the vro pump and pump the primer bulb and make sure no air comes out and oil does pump...
What does the shift interrupt switch do? I never heard of that.
I still have carburator engines since 1985 never used additive's and never had any problems. All these tv shows say it is not the ethanol that causes problems it is the the other additives they put...
1993 Johnson 150 hp Fast Strike. I just got back from a week fishing in Canada and found out my motor will start up in forward gear, it happened a couple of times. It must have died out at slow speed...
1993 Johnson 150 Fast Strike model VJ150GLETG
I am having problems at the boat landings and not really sure if this is the trailer-itis thing or something else. Motor bogs and dies when I have it...
Done, I took the tank out yesterday cleaned it good, cleaned the oil pickup screen filter, took the line off the vro pump purged the line out good, fresh oil, hooked everything back up. Took out on...
