we run lines around here quite a bit, catch some big old flatheads in the summers on big bullheads. Pulled up a line once that was goin like crazy, we keep about two feet of bungies on the line so the big ones have some room to move and dont straighten hooks and the bungie was getting pulled to...

Ive tried using about everything to fix some small holes in my waders and remember from working on my transom that 5200 sticks like crazy and is flexible. Seems like it would work but wanted to ask the gurus first. Any thoughts?

Rat- the roller shown in the pic is one of two rollers that are in between the bunks on my trailer. I suppose if there is too much pressure there it could be cause though. All three cracks are right around that one roller. hmmmm. thanks for the tip.

Bought this boat about three months and have used the crap out of it since then without any issues. Last trip out I made about a mile run to fish and found I was taking on a bunch of water so I turned around and took the boat out of the water to find the crack pictured with 3 smaller buddies...

I may have really screwed the pooch on this one...... I need a new transom bad so I just went out and asked for treated plywood, from reading on here to use pressure treated plywood laminated together. Not knowing these may be different things, I cut and glued and screwed my transom and have a...

I called again and got a customer service guy who knew his stuff and found that the longest cable length is 69 but only 56 of that is external. So no matter what length the cable is, 13 inches is gonna be inside the motor or the pedal.

Yeah I have no motor yet and I have been looking at the digital ones but have read mixed reviews on that and how hard it is to control but I assume it would just take getting used to. I am stuck between a bow mount hand control and a digital one. Any opinions on those two choices?

On my other post I assumed that all tm cables would be about the same but I called motorguide and she said some of theirs are 63 inches which is about what I need. Can anybody verify this? specifically the FW71FB or any freshwater series? Thanks

After months of lurking I finally have a question for all you boat gurus. I bought this boat a couple weeks ago and need a trolling motor now. I found that the foot control TM's wont work with my current setup because the front deck is just the right size that the pedal would just hang over...
