Josh, I found my 1436 tracker to be extremely unstable. Not much better than a canoe, really. I planned to place the battery in front of the center seat to aid in weight distribution, using aluminum angle as a base. Trolling motor on the transom. If you have to have a flat surface to stand on...

Be sure the plugs/sockets will work with 6 gauge wire.

Here's an idea. Use the proper plugs and sockets first. Then, later, change out the troller. You can reuse all the plugs and such. Cutting down your wire to fit what I think you mean is a common, 110 volt, household plug/outlet is NOT good.

My fingers are crossed for you. Looks like it may come around for another pass.

A picture of the trailer with the boat would help, especially the back end.

Has anyone used toothpaste? Or is that just an old wives tale?

Sounds like a carb rebuild. And, of course, an impeller.

Moth balls, excellent, thanks.

Thanks for the help, guys. Her grandson admitted the first hose may have been chewed, not cut. The second one, I saw, and I think it was chewed. We had some nice video's of squirrels playing around her car LOL. I know squirrels can't turn valves, and she doesn't have a window in the right place...

Spark and compression are easily tested. If your brother left fuel in the tank and/or carb, then a good cleaning may be all it needs.....and always an impeller, always. Are you mechanically inclined? You could save yourself a couple hundred bucks.

Thank you, guys. So, can I assume the right trail cam will give me a picture or video good enough to recognise a person, PROVIDED it's within a few yards? I expected a little more distance. Still researching the finer points of different models. Thanks for that link, by the way. How about a...

I now deal with a sister-in-law with cancer. She lives in a R/V park with lots of pine and live oaks around. She chooses to stay there. Someone has been entering her rv looking for her pain meds(now locked in a box). She also locks her rv, now. I couldn't believe she left it unlocked for so...

And a new impeller :)

Based on your own info, 15-20 seconds.....that's a 'no-brainer'. But a little carb tuning and plug cleaning/gapping may help.
