    Think we will "ever" see this error corrected???

    This one is sure to chase posters away from the site. Its been doing it since day one of your update. Some of us realize that if you hit post and this error comes up if you ignore it and hit refresh the post is actually there. But for many they won't know this. Tip: always "copy" or "select...

    Outboard up or down when using bow troller?

    I noticed if I have my lower unit out of the water when the troller is running the boat swings too easy from side to side with the slightest breeze. When the lower unit is in the water its a lot more stable. But when I'm also dragging the lower unit through the water I'm sure its wasting the...

    Had to spring for yet a third Walmart Everstart battery!

    Bought two Everstart group 27 last month to swap out with my new ipilot. Launched the boat today and the starter battery would not turn it over. I could have started it up with the troller but after 7 seasons I thought it was time to see if I could turn a 40 hp outboard by a rope start. Started...

    Ok . . . Stop calling my boat a "tinny"

    Whenever I see a poster calling an "aluminum" boat . . . a tinny, it always rubs me the wrong way :mad-new: I know its always from the same Folk who still use words like: They don't wear Jeans, they wear "Dungarees" They keep their beer in an "ice box" not a refrigerator (probably still have...

    Really nice progress on tweaking the forum so far . . . .

    Congrats again on the site's upgrade progress. The edit function is back! Yessssss. Can add spaces between paragraphs and can correct typo's again. Couldn't edit a post at all before, needed to start a new thread to correct anything. Makes some of us look intelligent again :D I really like...

    Congrats on the readability of iboats on an iphone now...

    This site is now better at moving around and reading stuff than most other forums now. Also zooms great now, but type is so clear can read it normal size. Keep up the tweaking and thanks for the good work here 👍

    MKA 23 (vs MKA 16) and the trouble with the puck mount style on carpet

    Re-post of lost thread. Everything went well on sat for my initial run with the MK ipilot 55. My only issue was the choice of the Minn Kota MKA 21 quick release bracket (which I'll start another thread for tips on installation of the MKA 21). It's fine if you are mounting on a flat deck. But if...

    Humminbird 678 cHD was my choice . . .

    Ordered the Humminbird 678CHD (sonar, no GPS) paid $334 with free shipping and no tax. Was going to go with the 718 for $199, but after I spoke to Humminbird support they said the 718 came out in 2009 and is discontinued, but still available. Also the 718 is B&W and for the extra $135 for color...

    Minn Kota Ipilot 55 . . . Just bought one!

    Thanks to the input from several posters in this thread that I started which helped me in my decision for the bow mount vs the cavitation mounted motor. The thread was moved from where I opened it in the boating forum. But I thought it odd that it was moved to the "outboard" forum when it should...

    Viewing new posts?

    Is it just me or is the only way to view the latest posts by scrolling down to the very end of the list of all the forums? Shouldn't this tab be at the top? The "latest activity tab" at the top for me seems to link to nothing?

    minnkota engine mount vs their ipilot bow mount?

    terrova Ipilot 55 runs around $1200. The 55 EM engine mount runs $619 here on iboats, free shipping and no tax. I have an upfront battery box and also an 8 gauge line running down to the back of the boat from that box to my onboard charger. So I'm all set up for either bow or transom power. i...

    Please post some of your 2014 Striper pics . . ..

    From this season's run along the Hudson River from the Albany dam to the Tappan Zee bridge in NYC. They would be fun for us to see. I'm already seeing many boats out there on these early chilly mornings on my drive to work in Albany along the Hudson. This is dedication . . . or they just like...

    Can I spray cold galvanized spray over zinc folding trailer tongue?

    Would I have been better off ordering the raw finish bracket and spraying that one? I just ordered the Fulton fold away bolt on hinge since my new garage rental is smaller than the last one and the tongue sticks out like 2 feet now. My trailer is galvanized and i dislike anything with a zinc...

    Damn, just had my 2011 Highlander swept away from me . . ..

    So the deal was two years ago my son said I should buy his 2011 Highlander off his 3 year lease. He did his lease when Toyota was having issues 3 years ago and were cutting cheap lease deals which there would be a lower residual buyout. He never buys his leased vehicles and just turns them...
