    Deciding between two boats, G3 185 VF and Alumacraft 185 Trophy

    I agree whole heartedly with airshot. Not hard to find used boats of every size with less than 50 to 100 hours at half price or less.

    Need help on boat ID

    Little by little I'm gaining information about this 14 ft fiberglass tri-hull. I know for sure "Gulfbreeze" is embossed on the side but would that be the model name or manufacture's name? I'm Looking for year, serial number production list, and name of model/manufacturer if you know any of that...

    Shorten a trolling motor shaft

    I may be the most NON-mechanical guy out here. But I chopped my trolling motor with no problems except there are TWO black wires under the cover and, of course, I mixed them up the first go-round. Works Like a champ. Now I'm water testing a jump-start charger as my main trolling motor battery...

    Can the trolling motor MOTOR be removed to shorten the shaft?

    I'm looking to make a perfect length for a kayak and wanted to avoid disconnecting and reconnecting the wires by messing with the head.

    Can the trolling motor MOTOR be removed to shorten the shaft?

    Looks like Gil Hunter reported the opposite can be done. I'm looking to make a perfect length for a kayak and wanted to avoid disconnecting and reconnecting the wires.

    Can the trolling motor MOTOR be removed to shorten the shaft?

    This question is for my Endura 55. All the video's show removing the head then cutting the shaft--then reconnecting all the wires. If the bottom end motor is removable, could not the shaft be shortened and 5 inches of excess wire just tucked back in without disconnecting and reconnecting every wire?
