Hello, I just got a new boat and it had an old fish finder in it... hummingbird Pirhanna 1... anyway it powers on and works... only you cannot see the display, I have to shield it with both hands and look really close to see, but it is working.. however, I wouldnt be able to see it if I was...

just an idea.... may or may not help you... but I have done a few sets of wiring on boats and I have found the cheapest way to get bigger gauged wire is to buy some jumper cables.... cheaper, has two sets of wire for neg and positive,insulated well, has worked great for my applications...

I have obtained a 5 seater paddle/peddle boat that is suprisingly stable... anyone ever tried turning one into a small fishing platform?? I was thinking about making it a one seat and trolling motor type of deal with a flat floor over the top.... wouldnt use it on big water just ponds and...

thanks for the suggestions.... I have always had the transducer mounted on the trolling motor in the past... but I think this time I will have to store the trolling motor away from the boat... so that option wont work... but the mount on a board and use a C-clamp idea will probably do just the...

Hello, long story short I had to sell my custom decked carpeted etc jon boat with trailer for financial reasons..... anyway I was lucky enough to find someone to give me a 14' jon boat that I plan on just putting in my truck to use until I can purchase a better one. Does anyone have any ideas...

Well, I have a leak in my boat... the last three times I have been out I probably took on between an inch and three inches of water in the back of the boat only...( I stand in the back so most of the weight is there)..... today I filled the boat up with water to check for leaks.... and I found...

I just bought a boat with a homemade trailer that did not have any type of winch post or anything at the front... has anyone made one themselves? Is it possible to make one without welding? I have been thinking about something with wood maybe?? I just dont know if it would ever be strong...

well the lights that I have only have two wires coming out of them.. one is red and one is brown.... I have figured out that one is for tails and brake and the other is for signal.... they are self grounding by the bolts that attach them to the trailer... I got a new wiring harness that has the...

so the harness that I have with the white, grey, white w/stripe, and green wires coming out of it wont work with the light I have??? also do I just hook the turn signal wire and brake wire to the red wire and ground the brown wire coming out of the back of each light???

I decided the completely redo the wiring on the trailer that I bought because it was sloppy and not working properly... anyway... here is what I have a wiring harness that is 4 pin with 4 wires running out of it.... labeled: Ground(white), Tail(Gray), Left Turn(white w/stripe), Right...

yeah I have another problem on the trailer lights that I have to fix and figured I would try to fix them all at once... its the trailer though because it everything works fine with my other trailer.... its an 01 nissan frontier 4x4 truck though...

What would cause the lights on my trailer to not work unless my headlights are turned on??? Nothing works unless my lights are on... it was like this when I bought it and I could retrace everything but hopefully someone will have a solution... thanks for the help...

I am thinking about making a homemade removeable livewell for my boat and I have a few questions... First what would be the smallest possible cooler that I could use to hold 5 fish in a tournament?? Second about how much extra weight am I looking at with this livewell on the boat holding...

Thanks for the help folks.... I didnt know that at all glad I asked.....
