    Alumacraft 14 Build

    Finally done, having a baby during the build did not speed up the process, but nonetheless, all I need to do is finish up some painting, get her registered, and put some fuel in her.

    Alumacraft 14 Build

    ok, so having it 2 inches higher than the seats will be a prob. so I do you suggest I take the 2x4s off and attach the decking at bench height?? If I can get away with it being like it is, I wouldn't have to rebuild.

    Alumacraft 14 Build

    Ok but if I cut the deck now and have to lower it...I will have to trim the deck to drop it down those 2 inches. I don't. Have direct access to a nearby lake either. is it really gonna be that unstablethe way it is? Does anyone know if I can just continue with that height or need to take it...

    Alumacraft 14 Build

    I found the thread that talked about when and when not to deck. My deck as it is now, will sit about 3 or 4 inches under the top rail of the side of the boat. People are saying that I shouldn't deck higher than the seats. I am currently set up to deck a 2x4s width (so a little under 2 inches)...

    Trolling Motor plug question

    The speed that it works on is fine for me...I have a back up minn kota but t is hand controlled...so I won't be without a trolling motor. But the fishfinder itself is worth 150 and the battery charger is worth 30...I looked at new trolling motors and they were way too expensive for me. I'm...

    Trolling Motor plug question

    ok so I took the plug off and hooked it to my almost dead battery. It worked on what seams to be a medium to low speed, but didn't work on the other speeds. For 30 bucks I think I could use it. I only need it for slow trolling for bass. My thing is, if I take it back, I will end up paying...

    Trolling Motor plug question

    so there is no way to test it without taking that plug off? It sucks that I have to take the trolling motor back and take back the fish finder too...cause it was all 30 bucks!

    Trolling Motor plug question

    Ok, he said that he will only take it back if I don't cut the plug off. He also included a fish finder, cup holders, and a battery charger when I bought the trolling motor for 30 bucks, I just hope the motor isn't ruined. How do I test the trolling motor without taking that plug off?

    Trolling Motor plug question

    ok, i will do that. it is hard saying what happened, because the guy i got it from plugged it into the wall and it blew the fuse. So I dunno, he said he would give me my money back if it doesn't work. So we will see. He said he ran it like that in his boat and it was fine...kinda wierd, but...

    Trolling Motor plug question

    What is a breaker and fuse? I have no experience with this stuff so I need some help. Can't I just wire it to the battery and then disconnect it when I'm not using it? I'm so confused by this cause I'm getting multiple answers. I have a gander mountain right by me...how do I know what guage...
