    Tohatsu 30hp vs Yamaha F25

    I have a 1448 xpress with a 2020 Yamaha F25 mounted on a cmc PT35 power tilt unit. It has a powertech SRA3 that’s about a 9 pitch. It was tuned by a prop shop and had cup added to allow me to run the motor up a little higher since I run the flats in the Texas coast. I’m considering swapping to...

    Where to mount transducer

    I’m about to repower this 2001 1450 xpress with a new Yamaha F25 tiller and purchase a new depth finder. I’m thinking Lowrance hook2 7 triple shot but still have more research to do. I’m looking for advise on transducer mounting. The jack plate and sponsons, which are both staying, make things...

    Transducer Armor review

    I bought the wee vee from https://www.transducerarmor.com/, who is a site sponsor, after banging my transducer around pretty good last time out. I ordered the 12 volt model in black. I felt the cost was reasonable. The turn around time was excellent! I got it yesterday. The product looks to be...

    Another where should I put my transducer question

    I have a humminbird 150 mounted on my trolling motor but I want to add a second one on the console for finding structure. The catch is that my boat has sponsons and trim tabs. Any thoughts on where I should mount the transducer?

    What should I list these motors for?

    I have a 95 evinrude 30 horse and a 74 Johnson 50 horse. Both are manual tilt and are setup for remote steering and throttle. I have control boxes for both and a steering setup for either of them. Both run and pump water. Thanks for any advice.

    My new (to me) boat

    2001 xpress 1450. All welded boat. 54 lb thrust bow mounted trolling motor with bigfoot switch and 50 horse Johnson with electric tilt/trim. Took it out this morning and it ran 32 mph according to the gps app on my phone. I still need to mount my fish finder and onboard battery charger.
