I have 2 12v deep cycle lead marine batteries in my boat. One in the back runs my starter and a few electronics. The one in the front runs the trolling motor and a few electronics. Been pretty happy with the setup overall....never run out of juice while fishing....I generally charge up between...

Surprising when you look online at what prop is recommended for your motor.....nothing in the manual, nothing online. Right now I have 10 1/4 x 13. When I first got the boat I was running 33 top end....now I'm down to 29-31 just depending on wind. After the initial break in period it dropped to...

This past summer I purchased a kit to convert my Minn Kota Terrova I-Pilot trolling motor to I-Pilot Link. It was a very easy process. So I'm selling my original head (2022) version with I-Pilot as a kit. Includes head, I-Pilot remote, hardware and heading puck with power cable. The only...

Ok....the Helix, Solix, Apex units all use a transducer of one form or another. SI/DI/2d etc. Transducer cable goes from the transducer to the head unit. They also have power cable for each head unit. To have units talk to eachother you need an ethernet cable. To have 2 units talking to...

This isn't a rant, or a *****....at this point it is what it is. The great thing about Humminbird is it's ability to link units into a network to share data from the front of the boat to the back of the boat so you can get all the same information no matter where in the boat you are fishing. Add...

it's a jon boat forum, so I know someone has found a great source for Jon boat covers that fit your boat......a tall task for Jon boat owner to find a cover that doesn't get destroyed by snow in one winter.

Is the upgrade to the LakeMaster VX premium worth it? Right now I have the Legacy chips for my 2 Humminbirds....and they are nice. I never bought the "+Plus" chip. They have stopped making it and the legacy and going with the VX....so I'm thinking of upgrading to VX but for $50 more can get VX...

My Humminbird helix 9 g4N SI has been working well....not sure why, but I looked up if there were any firmware updates...sure enough there was. Followed directions. downloaded to micro sd, reset unit to factory default, inserted card. It went through the update and restarted. I have...

Looking for the best options for a protective cover for my rocker selwitch panel from getting accidentally turned on. Seems this spot is my dog's favorite place to hang out and constantly turns on my LED or flood lights. Never gave it a thought b4 it happened.

It's been suggested to me to lower my seat, to cut the spring a loop or two. Has anyone ever done it? I noted the last loop of the spring is flatter and tighter. Not sure cutting it is a good option.

Is there a current draw with a navigation light switch left "on", but no navigation lights plugged in? Trying to figure out why my battery was dead. It's the only switch left on. ....but like I said, neither front nor rear light was plugged into the socket?

Not sure there is anyone left on here that remembers my build (in my signature)..... That boat with my custom livewell served me very well for over a decade.....the motor was bullet proof...I abused it during hunting season...broke ice every year.... but last Spring I finally said goodbye to the...

Thought I'd throw this out there for those who may be experiencing issues with their control pedal. I bought my V2 last March.....this winter I was cleaning my boat in the garage and accidentally stepped on the pedal...but noticed the blades didn't turn like they should have....so I took a...

Having issue with my foot pedal for my Powerdrive V2. doesn't matter if it's in continuous or momentary position, the speed switch doesn't work at certain settings...only runs mid range. I called Minn-Kota. They said it may be the magnet, may be the TM itself. I asked if dirt could get in it...

So I left my boat up North at the end of October thinking I'd be back up to use it at the end of November. Batteries were charged, left it on the trailer. When I couldn't make it back up, Dad tarped it for me. Well, end of Dec I was able to pick it up and bring it home finally. Had been cold up...

Have my livewell project detailed on my boat build thread, but thought a separate thread may help those searching for ideas. Bought the 1648 Alumacraft Semi V Jon pretty bare bones. I wanted a livewell that could double for bait storage as well as keeping many fish alive. By maximizing space...

How many of you do it? I never did until a friend asked me why I didn't....I said I just never had...then I backed into the water and came out with only one side working ....opened it up today...sure enough the bulb popped and water was actually inside the bulb....so I guess I will be...

Have a Tsunami 500gph thru hull pump to pump water to the livewell in the center of the boat. It is mounted on the transom next to the drain plug for the boat. Anyway, it won't pump water into the livewell consistently. it is well below the water line, so that is not an issue. The pump runs...

Facts are facts....From a manicured lawn, to the man cave to the hot rod: Guys love projects. We do...must be the sense of accomplishment we get. Probably goes all the way back to the first spear ever made to take down that Mastadon. (the next guy drew flames on his to appear to fly faster in...

(power port being a plug that is mounted on the boat to easily plug in an extension cord) was looking up to install a minn kota power port for the onboard charger, but reading reviews says there is a tab in there that breaks off and it's a poor design making the plug useless. Anyone have...
