Since the purchase of my 25 HP ETEC w/ PT&T failed and I'm looking for another motor it's has me wondering if I really need PT&T on that small of a motor. Is it really necessary to be constantly adjusting the trim or can you find an 'optimal' position with manual trim, and just leave it at...

My Minn Kota Presicion onboard charger is in route and I had an idea which I have searched but can't find anybody else you have done it before. My boat is a 1248 so space is limited. I was thinking of installing the charger to my garage wall. I would cut the factory connects from the charger...

The Weldcraft 1248 jon I ordered is rated for 30 HP max. It has 24" sides, 21" transom, 72" beam and around 340 lbs with full middle seat livewell. I weigh 155 lbs and will be fishing alone. Trolling motor, battery, fishing accessories I see to be around 200 lbs max. Then you will have...

I am in the process of putting new hubs on my Road Master trailer and I came across an odd thing and was wondering if anybody else has experienced this. When I put my new hubs on it requires me to put two spindle washers per side. To make matters worse when I took the old hubs off the driver...
