    Kenda tires-where do you rate them on quality?

    I starting my 3rd season on these 12" load range C Loadstars and they're great. No complaints at all. They've even seen some 2-hour trips at 65+ mph and then gone offroad for a mile of rough fist-sized gravel and then over the bank into the farm lake. My 1648 is heavy with added decking, carpet...

    Sizing a Trolling Motor

    I have a Grizzly 1648 that’s loaded down and a Maxxum 70 does a good job moving it. If I don’t have the 9.9 Merc on it I have an old 12v Minn Kota 35 on the transom for a little extra push. And for backing up and loading. I screwed two cheap battery boxes to the floor and used aluminum scrap to...

    That's great, I'm happy it worked out that well. You picked up more rpms than I would have predicted.

    All electric tin boat multi batteries

    "Anyone who has replaced one battery of a bank and claims to have NEVER crossed / shorted wires is... well (IMO) not being honest." Believe what you like about people being liars. Doesn't make it true. IMO. Fwiw, I got lost initially when you started using battery and cell interchangeably. Two...

    Mercury 9.9 four stroke rpm questions

    I really think you should consider replacing your 8.5 prop with a 6.5. I did, and my pig of a heavily loaded 1648 went from 5.5 mph @ 4500 rpm to 10.7 mph @ 5850 rpm. www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43098 All of the power is in the upper end of the rpm range. (It will do 13 or 14...

    Protecting Battery Terminals?

    Hydrogen gas is explosive, but not usually corrosive (except during activities such as refining metal or welding, etc. where there is high temp, pressure, or a great deal of H contained - like a fuel cell or tank. Hydrogen embrittlement.) Hydrogen gas is lighter than air, so it should just...

    Charging 24v Trolling Motor Battery Setup?

    You don't have to remove the jumper to charge them individually. Just use one charger/bank on each battery. I didn't believe my buddies when they told me many years ago how they charged their 24v systems, so I researched it. They were right. They make 24v chargers, but they will only charge up...

    Chinese Clones Sure Look Good?

    Charging 24v Trolling Motor Battery Setup?

    Before I hazard a guess, what kind of batteries are you charging - brand and size - and how run down were they when you started? Meanwhile, I googled your charger and ended up at the Crutchfield site fwiw. The specs say two 4 amp banks and "charges batteries up to 100Ah"...

    Charging 24v Trolling Motor Battery Setup?

    I use two Schumacher SSC-1000A lightweight smart chargers and don't even disconnect my Maxxum 70 or any of the wiring. I do turn it off though. It's been 3 years and no problems so far. My buddy (I've posted his 10.5# largemouth pic in another thread) has an early Maxxum 70 on his boat and has...

    9.9 HP on TRACKER GRIZZLY 1754 MVX SC

    Looking at the Mercury site again, the 15 uses larger diameter pistons - 2.40" vs 2.16" for the 9.9. (That's 4.52 sq.in. vs 3.66 sq.in.) The 9.9 is: Bore and stroke 2.16 x 1.73" The 15 is: Bore and stroke 2.40 x 2.36" I don't know how much difference a carb change will make given the...

    9.9 HP on TRACKER GRIZZLY 1754 MVX SC

    Looking at the Mercury FourStroke site: The 15 hp is 21.4 cubic inches. The 9.9 hp is 12.8 cubic inches. No wonder the 15 has more get up and go. John

    9.9 HP on TRACKER GRIZZLY 1754 MVX SC

    Two of the restricted reservoirs around here are pretty stretched out from end to end - one is 740 and the other is 845 acres. That's why I wasn't satisfied with a heavy 1648 that would only go 5 mph - you'd get there eventually plodding along, but there was no outrunning a big thunderstorm...
