    Lower unit oil water??

    Quick silver premium is fine . Their high performance bottle is better. If you're on a limited budget, Walmart's Supertech gear oil will work too.

    Used Engines?

    Some of the best friendships I've ever made were from buying used outboards. Boaters are literally the best people on the planet !

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    This is just one of the tiny trolling motor batteries I built from discarded latop cells. I used an ammo box from Bass Pro as a case . It's mostly waterproof. This battery is 50 AH . It can drain from 100% to 0 % unlike regular batteries ( regular batteries stop at 50% ) I can honestly troll for...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    The way I built my battery was simple. I bought discarded laptop cells. I disassembled the packs and tested each one. Then I re-assembled the good ones. Look for your local scrapyards that collect electronic waste ( not all scrap metal buyers have the proper license to collect E-waste ) . You...

    Yes generally speaking Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries have some advantages over other Lithium Ion . Not to say Lithium Ion isn't safe . I use Lithium Ion because they are generally very safe , unless you do something incredibly stupid . They are practically in every cordless device , power...

    Moves slow

    Pull a plug wire while it's running . If it dies, that's the only cylinder running.

    pull cord not returning.

    Guess I'm lucky . I've owned over 40 of the newer ones. Never an issue.

    No so much fragile, more like they finally got the recoil design right . The newer ones never break.

    Slip Bobbers

    If you're fishing shallows I prefer these. Stops wear out and can't always can't find more when you need them.

    pull cord not returning.

    Those pesky 92 ( and older ) recoils are so fragile compared the 93's and up. And it's almost always the spring. If you're lucky, ( and the spring didn't break) it may just need to be re-assembled. If it did break at either end, and not in the middle, and you're creative enough ... you...
