    My day started rough too. Motor wouldn't pee while on the hose. Ends up the new adapter just didn't hold tight enough. Then TM terrova wouldn't show any power on battery bar. Put a meter on cord and found a bad splice. Wired back up with lots of tape and looked good. Got on the lake late with a bucket of minnows and 3 of my boys. Played guide to them baiting hooks and putting them on fish. They caught 39 crappie and a rogue bream. Threw all back in to catch another day.

    Must be the end of the month and the trollers just didn't wan to work.
    I charge my battery and so far it's holding a charge, no to look at the system for a draw, maybe lights on or something else.

    Thanks man I need a truck load of them. It was a rough day but all came out well in the end. I am thinking I have battery problems on both boats. I am going to check both of them tomorrow and see what I come up with. At the end of summer I am going to sell the tracker and just keep the champion. It is just to expensive to try to keep both boats going on a fixed income.
    Thanks Ttexastom thanked you for this post

    Don sorry for your snakebit. That was a lot to take all in one day. I think you need some Perch Jerk Love.

    That's what I call snakebite. Sad thing is your day of grief produced better fish than my average day. Given the choice between equipment problems and no fish, I think I'd take the no fish. Unresolved mechanical issues drive me to distraction.

    Well I checked out the tracker first and one of the trolling motor batteries was dead. I had hooked up a auto bilge pump to it and it malfunctioned and ran the battery down. I got it charging now so that will fix that one. Will check the other one tomorrow.
