    Upgraded trolling motor questions

    Picked up a 70lb 24V Motorguide Digital Tour trolling motor to replace my current really old 25lb thrust motor. Its going on my 15 footer and since I mostly fish electric lakes or slow rivers I think I will have the power I need. Only question is will this be super herky jerky on a small boat? I...

    Cheap Down Imaging vs Better Quality Sonar

    DI is much more useful overlapped or side by side with traditional sonar in my opinion. It helps break marks up so when you see a 2D mark you can see what it actually is on HDI, and also can separate targets to see fish suspending just off the bottom or in brush piles. GPS even on little lakes...

    1985 mercury 25hp issues

    Not sure on the impeller, would the fuel pump work on and off? Sometimes we go out and have no issues, and others it has issues on and off. It doesn't always need the bulb pumped, its on and off.

    Lowrance Elite HDI help

    When I look at maps on the insight gen. the contours have all different colors on the maps. The deeper parts are darker blue and the shallower lighter blue. When I pull those maps up on my HDI 7 they are all the same color blue. Is there a way to change this so the depths appear in different...

    Building your own boat?

    8 foot by 16 foot isn't going to fold up into the shape of a boat hull. Wouldn't you just need a sheet that is 4 feet wide to make the floor and then separate side pieces welded to the floor. Have you measured out a 1648 at a dealer by welded piece? I would think you could measure each welded...

    Grumman 1989 1542V

    The plan is to add some cross aluminum bracing running perpendicular to brace in between ribs. Then I want to fit pink board in all the gaps between the ribs and put an 1/8 aluminum floor in. If the pink board is a little over-sized it will be compressed at tad hopefully adding a bit of rigidity...

The motor has an electric starter and when the button is pushed it engages but only turns the motor half way and then doesn't disengage. The battery is good, connections are...
