    Evinrude foot control trolling motor

    I bought an older Evinrude Scout trolling motor. It works great, but does anyone know how to adjust the direction of the motor? Was wanting when the pedal is in the middle it goes straight? Not sure if I make the adjustments in teh foot control unit or where?

    Pyle stereo and stereo installation

    I bought a Pyle marine radio new on Ebay. Bought it a few months ago and just now ready to install in my build. Hooked it up and it did not work. Thought the radio must be bad, and too late to send back, so I just bought another pyle stereo only, first one came with speakers and waterproof...

    Fish cooler

    I saw an article once where there was a PVC pipe through the top of the cooler and then a trap door on the cooler lid itself. Just drop the fish down the Pipe and into the cooler. Has anyone built anything like that or know of a site I can go to and get the directions?

    Bulldog transom mount trolling motor

    I asked this question once before, but didn't really get any answers. I bought a new bulldog transom mount foot control trolling motor from ebay. I didn't realize it is transom mount for the bow. Anyone know if there is any way to use it on the transom?

    Flat bottom or V bottom?

    Flat bottom or V bottom? I have a couple of small flat bottom boats now, but thinking of getting a 14 or 16 foot boat and doing a conversion. Not planning on putting a large motor, if any at first other than a trolling motor. I don't fish real large lakes. I was wondering what others would advise?

    Splitting 12 volt to more than one item

    I am running 12 volt cable to the front of my crawdad for my trolling motor(mounting the trolling motor plug) but also putting a 12 volt plug (and maybe stereo) up front too. How should I split the cable once I have it ran to the front of the boat? Maybe no stereo since I only run one battery...

    transom mount foot control trolling motor

    Anyone ever mount a foot control trolling motor to the transom of a jon boat? Bought the bulldog, but that's not going to work for me. May just have to mount it on the bow. Rather have one on the transom. Or may mount the bulldog up front and the old one on the transom.

    the crawdad

    I was looking for the finish pics of the crawdad. It said you could find them in the John boat conversion area. Where is that on this page? I have the same boat and was following it on here for awhile, but haven't seen the finishing pics. Also where can I get the decals?

    Wood replacement at the trasnom

    I have removed the wood from the transom of my 10' boat. I saw on here somewhere that somebody said just remove 6 screws. I did, but my question is, what is the best way to replace it. It was also held in with L brackets completely around the board. Hate to go bending them, but may have to. It...
