You guys are all great. My problem is solved, just fine-tuning my retreival onto trailer and latching.

It takes from 2 to 4 tries for me to drive the boat

Instead of adding 2 more bunks, I replaced the existing bunks with 2 x 6 boards (carpeted). It has helped some. I think I should have added...

t.


That's a very good idea. I'll try thanx

Carpet bunk covers. They are getting thin so will replace.

Happy to hear that. I ordered the Drotto 3 hours ago. I'm 79 myself; but, despite a quadruple heart by-pass 4 years ago, am able to do just about everything--no, Ill change that to say I can do...

Very interesting Buckeye. My bunks also came with the trailer, I purchased the whole outfit three years ago. What size engine do you have> Mines 75 hp, 4 stroke. It is very heavy. Ramps are not...

I want to think everyone for their responses, Atimm gave me several things to check and they appear to be ok. Thanks. It looks like I'll be buying a Drotto. Didn't know there was such a thing,...

I have a Tracker 175 with a 75hp 4-stroke Mercury motor. The trailer has bunks instead of rollers, which is good. Even on the "shallowest" of ramps, I have to keep the boat secured to the trailer...

There's plenty of fish in the sea, lake, river, pond, etc. Why take a chance? Toss it/bury it.

I'll chime in on not the rod, but the reel. A reel for crappie fishin is just a device to hold your line. I don't think I've ever payed more than $20,00 for one, most were under that. I know I...

Jamesdean you have given me hope when you said: "I wont quit, I know that, but these fish are really making me work for for them. Last three trips and pulled a skunk every time, and that's steady...

I have Bass Pro 100's and Frog Toggs. The former are pretty hot. Hard to beat Frogg Toggs unless it is very cold. IMHO

x2. I use to use a chock but got out of the habit. Going back to it now.

I wondered about that Cray. Thanks.

I have a 12 volt trolling motor. I am going to purchase a 24V motor. That installation is pretty straight forward; i.e., install another battery and connect it in series with existing battery. NOW,...

Moved to Mechanics Corner

Agree with badbull. However, if the card is 32GB or lower, you can keep it in and use it to take screenshots.

That was funny, thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for opinions. One of the reasons I asked is that I fished it pretty hard with both jigs and minnows. Not a bite. Hate to admit that I got skunked today with other sites every bit as good...

What do you think?

It is suppose to be easy to take a snapshot on a Helix. Put a SD Card in the slot. Just go to "Accessories" om main menu and scroll down to waypoints (can't recall exact name). Then when you see...

I couldn't figure out how to edit my post. What I want to clarify is, the picture I posted needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Glad you like it. I got one about a month ago and am very happy. I made a mistake at first and put the transducer on "wrong: side of mounting plate. Well. technically it's not wrong it's just that...

WOW! That is a sad, tragic story. I was like him until I had my mishap. I WAS LUCKY; HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY. DON'T BE LIKE THE OLD ME, BE THE NEW ME AND WEAR THAT PFD.

I don't know if the moderators will allow this; but, here goes. Several years ago I posted a story about a near drowning experience I had. I just think I should re-post it in hopes that it will...

While fishing Lake Jordan near Montgomery, AL I snagged a fishing rod, complete with reel, line, and plastic worm. I replaced the line and cleaned up the reel and rod. About a week later I wnet...

I get it that a lot of people want to mount transducer to trolling motor. I was told that when you make turns your display becomes distorted. Looking for an alternative I found Ricky's "da ducer." ...

I went with Ricky's "da ducer" I just installed it, and it really looks fine. Unfortunately I'm going out of town for a week so haven't put it through its paces yet. I don't foresee any problems...

Thank you all for your replies. It looks like I did something right. It is fused close to the battery and connections remain tight. So, that's one less thing I have to worry about. Thank you.

I have a HB Helix 10" mounted near the console. To power it, I installed a small 12v tractor battery under my seat. It is a short run from the battery to the Helix, and now I have one dedicated...
