    downrigger flasher positioning

    I just bought a set of scotty downriggers and other than trolling outriggers and planer boards am fairly new to the downrigging arena. I plan to use them primarily for fishing lake trout in NY finger lakes and salmon on lake ontario. I have been trying to educate myself about using flashers...

    Yamaha 9.9 purchase question.

    I'm planning to get a 14ft Mod V to get around on the river and elec only lakes. The dealer is packaging this boat with a Tiller 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke. The longest run up or down the river would probably be 2 miles and the dealer conveys the 9.9 should be adequate. I have an F150 on my...

    Tach / Hour meter guage replacement

    I have a tach guage that began sticking on me last season. I'm planning to replace it with a new Faria tach/hour meter combo guage. However, I would like to syncronize the hour meter to the hours on the motor (about 75hrs). I don't believe there is any way to preset the hours on the new guage...

    Do I need downriggers?

    I've started fishing some lakes in upstate NY with notable populations of lake trout. Most of the folks catching these lakers are using downriggers which drop a line 50-75 feet. I'm really not keen on adding more bling bling to my boat that takes up real estate while I am doing other types...

    Generator Oil Change

    I just purchased a used generator from an estate sale. It is a 3000KW powered by a 5hp Briggs motor. Both motor and power works fine but I want to change the oil since I know nothing about the previous preventive maintenance service. I can't find anywhere on the unit where it indictates the...

    Transferring Cassette to CD

    During my growing up years, I and my wife have accumulated many cassettes. At the time this seemed to be the major avenue of media for most music. However now all our vehicles and nearly all home music resources are via CD. <br />I am really having a hard time parting with the cassettes and...

    Optima AGM Batteries?

    It has been my understanding that AGM and spiral wound batteries are different technology. However upon reviewing my Cabelas marine catalog (page 57) they indicate Optima batteries are wound with the electroyte-absorbing glass mat (AGM) material. Are Optima batteries indeed using AGM...

    Remote Control Boats

    My dad flies RC airplanes but I could never get the hang of it but have been thinking a gas powered RC boat will be fun for the kids and I to fool around with while out on the lake. If RC boats are anything like airplanes, I know you can spend as much for accessories such as batteries, fuel...

    Got Juiced this weekend

    I got my Edge Juice with Attitude 2 programmer installed this weekend. I couldn't resist to hook up the boat and give it a road test. I thought my truck had decent power but was surprised to experience a big improvement over the factory settings. The Attitude 2 also has an accessory camera...

    Battery guage installation ?

    I just purchased a surface mount digital LCD battery guage. The display rotates every 5 seconds between my 12V cranking battery and my two 24V (series) trolling motor batteries. <br /><br />The instructions indicate installing the wires directly to the batteries but the guage does not have a...

    I received my Skegguard delivery today and am considering installation options since I'm a little uneasy about drilling holes in my 2yr old outboard.<br /><br />Therefore, I was thinking about filling the skeguard cavity with 3M 5300 marine adhesive to hold it onto the skeg. Is there any reason...

    New Prop ??'s

    I received my new Appolo SS prop yesterday and tried it out today. It seems to put my F150 right in the recommended RPM range (5900) which is a good sign. However, the tapered thrust washer included with the new hub kit does not seat in on the shaft as much as the original. Due to the space...

    24V extension vs. cut & paste

    I am in the process of relocating my 24V trolling motor in the bow so that the shaft lies along the gunnel. My problem now is that the plug is too short to reach the 24V receptacle at the bow by about 2.5 to 3 ft. <br /><br />This leaves me with one of two choices - 1. Find a 24V extension or...
