I fully restored my boat last year from the hull up. Over the weekend I put it on a scale to see what it weighs. It came in at 1350 pounds. And that's without my 2 marine batteries for the trolling motor. So there's probably another 200 pounds. I noticed in the specs in it's original brochure...

What is the typical size fuse or circuit breaker for the accessory/starter battery? I'm running starter, graph, pumps and lights on this one battery?

Just got a 24v 80 thrust Terrova. Plan to wire it this weekend. But I have a few questions. Last summer I restored my 16.5' Aluminum Deep V from the foam up. Follow Link to Project - https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40644I added a large livewell (15 gallon ish) under the...

I have heard nothing but good things about iPilot. So I'm just getting started in learning what it's all about. Not what it can do but whats the setup... What do I need. I learned there is 2 types of iPilot. 1.) iPilot Link = which talks to my Humminbird and can follow contours and all...

My transducer was causing a big rooster tail behind the boat this summer. Any idea what would cause that and how to fix it?

An oversight on my part left me on a like with a 40 horse OB Evenrude and a battery so low it triggered the low battery alert on my fishfinder. This was the first time I had had it back on the lake since I had the carbs done in late June. (long story). Needless to say the motor was...

I have a dilemma with my boat trailer. It pulls a 16.5 foot deep vee aluminum boat. The outside bearing went bad while driving it home about 5 miles. When attempting to remove the inside bearing which is in tact there is a bur and slight gouge out of the spindle that will not allow it to slide...

I'm headed to Lake Vermilion on Tuesday July 12th for the week. We are going to be in the Norwegian Bay area. We'll be gaming mostly for Walleye but might take a day to hunt for Muskie. I'm aware of Merry Go Round and Stove Top Reefs and plan to hit those day 1. I'd love any suggestions on...

I am about to install my new deck in my boat. But before I do that I have a wiring question. I have a livewell fill pump at the sturn and two livewell pumps close to the bow that will need wired. I thought of running a pvc conduit under the decking to give it a cleaner look. The wife thinks...

How much floatation foam is enough? I was able to recycle most of the foam that was in the boat when I took the deck off. But some of it was waterlogged. So I plan to add some pink foam board and the original foam as well. But how much should I add?

I need to mod a livewell tank that came out of a Lund. It's 8" too long. I plan to chop it and glue the end back on with epoxy. Has anyone ever attempted this? Any tips, tricks or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

So today I started my first boat restoration. My boat is a 16' 1981 StarCraft Pike Master. I think the previous owner bought it to flip it and realized its not that easy and gave up. Anything electrical was cut 2" from it and all wiring was gone. Carpet was bad, a lot of overspray on rattle...
