    BATTERY PLACEMENT

    Bug, the battery had beat the crap outa my drain tube, it was flat on the end! The ole screwdriver kinda helped but the tube was way outa shape and leaked a little around the plug. The plumb bob was great, with the pointed tip it just slid right in and reshaped the alum tube in short order of a...

    Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 trolling motor mounting

    I run this TM on my boat too. I got lucky I suppose, found a prefab bracket at a local boat store (B&B Marine in Conyers, Ga.) that fits perfectly on the front seat/step to make the mounting surface flush with the top edge...$15 I think. But you can make one from alum easily, 4 bends is all it...

    BATTERY PLACEMENT

    With my batteries (4) placed from side to side, the boat has little counterweight I guess. So when I have to lean over to lip a bass, the boat seems to really dip to the side. However, with the batteries aligned up the center front to rear, there is a noticable difference....enough to make me...

    I generally fish electric only lakes most of the time. So I run a TM front & rear when I need to cruise to get to a spot, then just use the bow TM to fish. Slow speeds, there is no problem of the rear drifting to speak of. Cruising with only a bow TM will make the stearn squirrely sometimes. But...

    BATTERY PLACEMENT

    Well by putting the batteries in the center, the weight is OK for pretty good distribution. Floats level, my tail up front surely will push the front down a bit but with a co-angler in the back it should level back up. I usually have a co in the back but when alone I can always move as needed to...

    my latest designs

    What type of fishing are you planning to do? I think that may be a deciding factor in the design. No steering console in the second one, what are your plans? I fish a lot of electric only lakes, so the tiller steer outboard gets used rarely. So I would design to accomodate it but focus on...

    BATTERY PLACEMENT

    I have a Grumman 1436, running 4 batteries. For years I have had the batteries in the stearn space behind the bench set area. I am seriously considering moving the batteries to the center of the boat and align them up the center instead of side to side. I've tested this and found the boat was...

    New guy, just glad to be here!

    Hey guys! I heard of this site on another forum and had to check it out. Loving it so far! =D> I call Georgia home and fish the electric only reservoirs here as often as I can afford to miss work!
