Hi Folks, I have a Garmin 160 FF that is three years old. Bought a new Lowrance and I would like to move the Garmin to the bow mount trolling motor. I purchased a bracket to do this that was shipped from Garmin and there is no way that it will mount that transducer. It just does not work...
I have a 2004 Freshwater Bow mount foot controlled Motorguide the cable that runs from the foot pedal to the Motor head is a bit short and difficult to use on my Lund as I don't have a forward casting platform. Can this otherwise nice motor be converted to a hand operated one by some miracle...

Does anyone know where I can find a prop that will fit my 10-spline shaft on my 2004 Johnson 25 hp 4-stroke. That is, other than the stock OEM aluminum prop from Johnson? The manual says the correct size is 10 1/4 X 11. I have tried several places including iboats and nobody seems to have...

Hi Folks,<br /> I just mounted a new Motor Guide 54 lb thrust with 50" shaft and breakaway mount on my new Lund boat. I thought everything about position was good and when done found out the motor head just grazes the bow light which is screwed down in the bow. I can lift it over and use it but...
