Funny thing is I just changed jobs and now I rely on ethanol in gasoline for my paycheck. But I still don't want it in my old 2 stroke or in something that will sit for a long time. Luckily we still have one place in town we can get ethanol free gas.

If the plywood that is sitting on the ribs is treated it could be causing the pitting. Certain types of wood treatment have a very bad reaction with aluminum.

Looks like you will have to take the side pieces out to get access to the outboard transom fasteners. Then take out the vertical brace and the piece at the bottom of the transom board and the aluminum sheet should come out letting you remove the old and install a new transom board from the...

I had some scrap aluminum and a tig welder. This is what i did.

I have a Xi3 Bass Pro version (was listed at 52lb thrust vs 55 for regular one... not sure if there is a real difference). First on my 14ft john boat and now on my 17ft sea nymph and love it. Its easy to deploy and retract and once out I just sit at the back and guide it from there. Heading...

I built a couple of lifepo4 batteries and I thought I would share the video on here. I was looking last year and I couldn't find much out there on this chemistry as is pertains to trolling motor batteries. So I did some learning and made a crappy video overview of them. Links to some stuff I...

Hate to add to your learning curve but there are different kinds of lituim battery chemistry. In my opinion lifepo4 or lithium iron phosphate are best suited to our use for trolling motors and onboard electronics. The battle born battery is an example of this type of chemistry. The are not...

Its a pretty big band on the left side... I havent gone by structure on each side to compare them. Life is very busy right now and I havent had time to get it out.

Finally got the unit and tied it out for just a bit. The outboard does indeed get in the way of the side scan. I have seen where people have mounted the transducer under the boat and just take their chances with damaging it. I'm not using side scan very much mainly becasue I don't know what...

That might be an option but I already splurged on this unit in the firs place. Was hoping to get by with the one it comes with.

Thanks.. Yeah I doubt I'm going to be like wow the sidescan said it was 23 feet and it was actually 25 feet. lol Yeah that's all I can find too. Thanks good info. Its going on there one way or another I'd just like to get it right the first time.

I have a 14ft Polarcraft and just ordered a Lowrance Elite9ti2 with a 3 in 1 transducer. I was wondering if people have problems with the sidescan being obstructed by the outboard or trolling motor. Looks like its going to stick out quite a ways from the back of the boat and the lower unit...

OK now i'm thinking about cutting the middle seat top out and adding some aluminum framing so that I can lower a biggish cooler in there and have a lid/seat over it. But that might have to be next winters project. I'm going to be hard pressed to get this thing going by spring now. Thanks for...

Yeah I think I'll just cork it and wait and see if I have leaks that require me to dismantle the port. If I do that will be when I weld a plate over it lol. If I had time I might take that center seat out and build a frame for a large cooler but right now I need to get it ready or I wont get...

Hi guys great forum! Im redoing my late 80s 14 foot Polarcraft semiv. It has sat for about 20 years and I recently decided to get it back in action. Ive been welding up all the little holes from decking and transducers over the years. I had it almost fully decked but it was too heavy with...
