Yeah, 8 gauge wire out of the foot control.

Hey goody, The M.K edge 45# is alright. I'm not thrilled with it as I had to take my original one in for a exchange at bass pro shops I think it had a faulty switch. Minn Kota customer service said they think I burned it out by running on speed 5 too much, which is ridiculous because the thing...

What did the directions of the adhesive say? I think it would be okay. I used my outdoor adhesive decking my boat over varnish which the directions advised against. One thing I did was buff the substrate with 320 grit sand paper which hopefully will give the adhesive more "biting" power to bond...

Yeah I stocked up on some spooks. Don't go to Home Depot for paint products! Go to the lowes. It's "Cabot Spar Varnish." I think I bought the last gallon of it and that stuff is so regulated its a shame. I'm pretty sure they had quarts of it though. I got gloss but semi gloss is just fine.

Hey man! Yah I scored having the trailer and boat brand new so no quarantine only had to wait 2 weeks to finish my deck. I got that discount but I can't really stand bass pro shops. I try to order from tackle warehouse as much as possible. 1. I used 5/8" plywood on the front deck. It's plenty...

Hey guys so I finally had my maiden voyage on Wednesday and have her about 95% done. Everything seemed to pose a problem for me building this boat(they say nothing is ever easy, though). From the trailer to waiting a day between multiple coats of spar varnish it was just a pain in the *** and...

I went to bass pro yesterday and picked up a Minn Kota 45# bow mount foot controlled trolling motor and a hummingbird 596c DI/FF on sale I couldn't pass up. I plan on attempting to wire this weekend. Today I'm going to buy two batteries from probably either Walmart or Costco. One for my trolling...

Hey, if I purchase two trolling motors, one for the back one for the bow, can I run them off the same battery? Everywhere I'm reading it says to not run your electronics and trolling motor on the same battery, so would I need a third battery for a second trolling motor if I decide to go that...

I have mixed feelings about the HF trailer ill post up pictures as soon as I make a little more progress. Pros of HF trailer: fairly easy to assemble, pretty inexpensive with a coupon, mine came with extra bolts and accessories that I used in the modifications that I needed for it to fit my...

Hey goody! Thanks for the reply man. Pictures would be really helpful. So do you think I would be better with a smaller sized bow mounted trolling motor up front and then an average transom mounted trolling motor in the back as well? Will two batteries power 2 trolling motors and a fishfinder...

Hey guys, Finally..an update. I received my trailer last Tuesday, had it assembled, primed and painted it from red to black by Thursday and went to pick up my boat on Friday. I'm starting to "deck" my boat out now and currently waiting for front deck to dry after its second coat of alkyd spar...

Hey man! That's awesome you fish lake mission viejo and are local. I live right off Alicia too! Hah. The quarantine is a drag and I figuring I could mod my boat during the 30 day waiting period. They got to do what they got to do to protect the integrity of the lake and not to mention those 20#...

Hey guys, I'm on a pretty tight budget and as far as I have read, I should the biggest I can afford. I'm a smaller guy 5'11 about 160-165 pounds. I have been surfing for quite a few years so I would like to say my balance is pretty good. however, tipping my boat can be serious and quite...

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this site but have been reading for about a month or so. I was led here from bassresource.com. I'm in my mid 20s and have been fishing since I can remember. I live in Southern California and plan on fishing lake Mission Viejo for giant bass. :roll: Lake mission viejo...
