Well I have a cable steer and my buddy has pd steer and i prefer the cable only because the pd steer tends to over steer and I constantly have to steer back. With the cable steer it stops where I want it to. This over steer could be operator error?

Looking for small (2-9.9 hp.) nonworking outboard long shaft for electric conversion. In Maryland

After some research I found that most golf cart maintaince guys charge there carts 1-2 times a week and check water levels monthly during the golfing season, and quarterly during the off season. I fish on average of once a week so I will be checking my batteries monthly during the fishing...

How many charging cycles between checking water levels?

From what I'v heard they are equal in sonar capabilities but Lowrance has better on screen graphics.

Just finished installing 15 sheets of 3/16" aluminum diamon plate. Cut it all with a circluar saw with a carbide blade. A grinder will work for small cut outs and raidus. You can cut nonfarus metals (aluminum, copper) with a carbide blade.[b]SAFTEY GLASSES A MUST[b], I would recomend ear plugs also.

Sounds like the previous owner put some sort of silicone caulk on the rivets. As far as the motor bracket....It may have been for a kicker motor? trolling for walleye? Many possibilities with that boat, good luck and have fun.

I used Advantech (sp?), its subfloor (not OSB) plywood but will with stand alot of water. Its all we use building house these days. I'v seen pooling water on it for a weekend with no effects(it doesn't swell). I used it for everything including decking,floor and vertical supports.

IN Like Flynn!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree...one of the best fishierys I'v fished. I didn't get a chance to fish it last yr. but hope to get there this yr. It's a 90 minute drive for me. I put in at Smallwood park or another ramp (can't remember the name)on the Mattawoman.

:-k got me?

Run all the wires to a bus bar (1 for each +/-) and a single wire from the bar to the battery. I think most of my wires are 14 gauge and I ran 12 gauge from the battery to the bar.

I'm shopping for that same unit best deal so far is $579.

I have my eye on the HBird 596 DI unit also. With the higher resolution and other features it's the best unit for the lakes I fish. I fish all electric lakes so the gps will only be used for way points and speed.

You should be using 2 deep cycle batteries. Your starting battery will rob power form your deep cycle as it loses charge.
