Sorry, missed it in the title. But what is the remote?

We see your zip code but not your asking price? What remote? How does function?

I’ve just redone an old boat with a 1999 Mercury 25 HP, pull start. Had lots of fuel issues and wound up replacing gas tank/bulb/lines/filters and doing a carburetor kit. During that time checked compression and it’s about 90 on both cylinders. But now it’s running well, even with that low...

I like your trolling motor description. Can you raise and deploy it from your seat or do you have to go do that manually? What kind and model trolling motor is it? I’m looking…

It looks like your boat hangs off the back bunks several inches, so you could gain a little by moving everything forward on the trailer. Might make it more tongue heavy but not much.

Very nice rigging. Photo 4 is very interesting - looks like you mounted garbage can there.

Got it. Makes sense now.

Thanks for posting the followup and letting us know your solution.

Good exchange there.
