    Minimal battery size for minimal components?

    My 12 foot tinny is very weight sensitive because, well......it's only a 12 footer. :) To that end, I'm not intending to run a trolling motor. Wouldn't have much use for it the way I use my boat. I also have a johnny 2 hp (used as emergency propulsion if the 8 hp dies) on the transom that I...

    Need an alternative to 3m 4200/5200

    Alrightly, the problem: Need to adhere the ol' cutting board trick to the transom to attach the transducer, make rub guards for the transom straps and to seal up a very small corrosion hole (above water line) not worth redoing the whole transom for. Getting a tube of 3m 4200/5200 around here...

    Trolling motor; bow or stern?

    First, I've never used a trolling motor. I am wondering the advantages and disadvantages of the bow or stern mount? I'm guessing a bow mount is for access to it while fishing from the front deck. Any other reasons for a bow mount vice a stern? I must say I'm not a fan of the looks of a...

    Dad's 12' Springbok reborn - "Dad's Buoy"

    Hi all. I'm new here. :) My Dad has alzhiemers and it's progressed to the point where he'll never see the outside of an institution again. :( Mom asked me if I wanted the Springbok we kept at the cottage. Well, of course I said yes! The trailer is trashed, but the boat is in great shape...
