I've got a 1648 that I would like to mount a transom mounted trolling motor on the bow. I have used one of those little plastic mounts that slips through the handle under the bow on my 12 ft, but that would not be sturdy enough. Any suggestions of a bracket that could be bolted to the bow?

I have a 1648 that has a bow deck of around 21 inches deep. A friend of mine recently gave me a bow mounted trolling motor (55lb minn Kota riptide) that I would like to put on my boat. The trolling motor has a mount to raise it up, but it has an angled cut for a v shaped bow. Are there any...

I have a 12 ft jon boat that I would like to make a dolly for. I plan to transport it in the back of my pick up, but would like to have a dolly that I could transport it to the water. I would need to be able to roll the boat about 50 yards across grass at one particular lake. I have a kayak...

I previously mounted a cutting board on the back of my boat in order to mount a transducer. I used 3M 5200 adhesive but unfortunately did not do the proper prep to the aluminum beforehand. I have now purchased a sully removable transducer mount and have removed the cutting board. But there is a...

I am thinking about buying a transom mount Minn Kota C2 30 lb trolling motor for my boat. I have read that minn Kota recommends placing a 50 amp circuit breaker (I think 6 inches from battery on positive wire, maybe?). They sell a breaker, but it is $35. Is there a cheaper alternative? If so...

I have a 1648 aluminum flat boat, with a Yamaha 15 hp 2 stroke outboard, and a Dixie Craft single axle trailer. I am assuming that the boat weighs 385 lbs, motor 115 lbs, and trailer 400 lbs. For a total weight of 900 lbs. Does this estimate sound right? I park the boat on the side of my...

I mounted the transducer on the back of my boat about a month ago, and pretty much mounted it as low as possible. When I got up on a plane, it was throwing quite a roostertail. The pic shows the original position. The transducer mount has a vertical slot, so I moved the transducer as far up...

I took my boat to be welded and they knocked off and then lost the little cap that goes over the top of the crank that raises and lowers the coupler on the trailer (whatever you call that thing). I have been unable to locate a replacement, partly because I do not know what to call it. I went to...

I just bought a humminbird fishfinder that I want to hook up directly to my battery. The humminbird manual states that I needed to install a one amp inline fuse. I know nothing about this kind of stuff. I went to the local bass pro shop. The associate there said that all they had was an...

I have ordered a piranhamax fish finder and am planning to mount it on my 1648 flatboat. I am concerned (afraid) to mount it directly to the transom for 2 reasons. 1) I am afraid to drill holes below the water line (may just be my ignorance here). 2) THe wood in my transom does not go down...

I currently have a boat and trailer set up that works pretty well for me. I have side guides, trailer lights, etc. The problem is that I cannot really see the boat or trailer when backing down the ramp to launch the boat. I was thinking about adding vertical PVC pipes to the trailer as a...
