    I am wondering.....How big?

    I am looking at Minn Kota trolling motors, how much thrust would be good for a 14 foot fiberglass, loaded with me the wife and fuel for the outboard, we are probably looking at about 800 lbs. Opinions? Thanks. Dave

    Can someone tell me what this is?

    It looks to be some type of vent on the lower unit, but none of the diagrams I have looked at note this small hole in the lower unit above the mating point of the gear case. The reason I ask, is because I fired and ran the motor in a tank yesterday, shifted gears, showed no problems, I then...

    Well one more question...

    If you had your motor tore apart and know for a fact that the impeller was changed less than a year ago, would you change it again? I am ready to put my motor back together after getting the lower unit cleaned up and put back together like it was suppose to be, but am just wondering, should I...

    Curious, has anyone?

    I am wondering, has anyone on this forum converted a closed bow boat to an open bow configuration, I did a quick search and didn't see a thread, but perhaps I searched on the wrong terms. Thanks. Dave
