Thanks!

Good point! I will keep that in mind.

Thank you for the reply. Just a few follow up questions. Where would I be able to purchase angle aluminum? Any suggestions on how to mount it (hardware suggestions?)?

I've got a 1648 that I would like to mount a transom mounted trolling motor on the bow. I have used one of those little plastic mounts that slips through the handle under the bow on my 12 ft, but that would not be sturdy enough. Any suggestions of a bracket that could be bolted to the bow?

Thanks!

I have a 1648 that has a bow deck of around 21 inches deep. A friend of mine recently gave me a bow mounted trolling motor (55lb minn Kota riptide) that I would like to put on my boat. The trolling motor has a mount to raise it up, but it has an angled cut for a v shaped bow. Are there any...

Thank you for all of the replies. I may just try my kayak dolly first, but I do not think that it is going to be wide enough. Those wheel on amazon look like a pretty good option, just buy two and bolt them to a board that would slide underneath. I may try making an axle with two wheel and a...

I have a 12 ft jon boat that I would like to make a dolly for. I plan to transport it in the back of my pick up, but would like to have a dolly that I could transport it to the water. I would need to be able to roll the boat about 50 yards across grass at one particular lake. I have a kayak...

Yeah, I bought a brand new putty knife, but I found that I was gouging into the aluminum as much as i was taking off the adhesive. I will try the the wire brush and possibly some heat if I get brave enough. I may leave some of it on, but would at least need to clean off the areas of the screw...

I previously mounted a cutting board on the back of my boat in order to mount a transducer. I used 3M 5200 adhesive but unfortunately did not do the proper prep to the aluminum beforehand. I have now purchased a sully removable transducer mount and have removed the cutting board. But there is a...

Thanks! That is a big help.

I understand what you are saying. I am not trying to put both on, just trying to figure out how to put one of them on. I had originally purchased the fuse holder and the fuse, but the wire on the fuse holder is quite large. The auto parts store did not have butt connectors large enough to fit...

That would be easier.

Sorry, I guess I am showing my ignorance here. I don't have a breaker, I have a 50A fuse holder. How do you attach that breaker? Does that brass rectangular piece with the circular hole just fit over the post in the battery?

I did get a 50 A breaker, but the wires have a pretty big diameter (larger than the the biggest size but connectors at the auto parts store). It looks like the bussman breaker that is listed in a link a few posts above this, but it is the 50A version. Sorry for the confusion.
