Thank you.

Thanks Tom

I did. I fished with my buddy Brian. We used to fish all the time together but he's been busy with work and his daughter's sports life and we just don't get many chances to get together.
We made...

Thanks Mark. I've been thinking of heading to the river but the home lake keeps calling my name.
I really want to try the river now that the water has cooled...too many choices.

I didn't make it to Kentucky this year either but I did buy my license.
1st of March I buy Oh & Ky license every year.

Thank you everyone, it was a great day. I spent the day fishing with my friend Brian. We don't get many opportunities to get out but we made it happen on Monday.

Earlier this year I attached a 4" piece of pool noodle to my lanyard....mine floats now.

The amount of weight I use varies with the type or style of float I use. Normally I'll use a slender float and enough weight to submerge about 50% of the float. Slender floats will offer less...

I wouldn't have done it if it were like 250 or so....

Time for new seats for the boat. The ones I see at BPS look cheap and uncomfortable. I'm not sure I'd like the straps on the Millennial. I really like the original Tracker seats for comfort and...

Happy birthday Mark

I have a 17'6" V hull w/60 hp and it's great for fishing solo, with a 2nd person and even 3 in a pinch. My normal trips are solo but 30% of my trips I have a partner.
IMO I would never buy anything...

I don't think it matters. I used the MKA-21 when I added a Terrova earlier this year.
I haven't had any problems with it.

During my 4 months of research between the Xi5 and the Terrova I had comments from 4 or 5 other Xi5 owners who shared your opinion. I never did talk to a Terrova owner who wished he went with the...

I was looking at the Xi5 back in the winter and decided after a lot of looking and searching to go with the MK Terrova. I spent about 4 months doing my homework before I made my purchase.
Both the...

I have a Tracker Pro V 17 and I looked into getting a 45" Terrova for my boat. I emailed MK via the MK website and asked them on the 45" Terrova how much shaft was there below the mounting plate. MK...

I think you would be okay. I just updated my TM to a Terrova this year, my boat is a 17.5' deep v and I have to say i love that spot lock. There is a setting on the remote called "boat scale" and it...

That's a good point. I think the .3-.5 may be possible but won't swear to it.
I will set the TM on advance autopilot and cast along a shore. At times if I feel I'm going a little too fast I'll slow...

One thing I forgot to mention...when I was looking at the TM shaft length. My old MG Tour had a 42" shaft and it had 34" of shaft below the bottom of the mount. That left the motor itself 12" below...

FWIW...I bought a MK Terrova with iPilot, US2 transducer this year. I installed it at the end of Feb so I've used it for 2 months. I also have Lowrance Electronics but mine are older Gen 1 HDS units....

I usually have kids or wife on my boat and I have to fix a lot of lines/hooks/bait, I simply hit spot-lock now and do what needs to be done.
Like I said in an earlier post, I've only used my new...

I just put a new Terrova on my boat. I have a 17'-6" deep V Tracker.
I opted for the 12v 55# 54" shaft. Here's why
-I went with the MK because of the remote. The MK's have a screen on the remote so...

I saw that but that's for campgrounds and picnic shelters, I think all the ramps are still open and that's only COE facilities. State park ramps are still open.

What are you talking about?
No lakes are shut down at this time.

I haven't been to either lake in several months so I can't help you.
A friend told me Paint was still down just over week ago when he was there and as far as Rocky they don't draw it down so it...

Thank You. I have the same size boat and I opted for the 12v also and I already have 2 batteries since I fish a few TM only lakes.
Thanks for mentioning that setting it gives me a good place to...

I'm getting a Terrova tomorrow and I just read this thread.
The first item is boat scale and from what I gather, is that a setting that allows you to adjust how forceful the TM will be when you are...

There is a guy on one of our Ohio lakes who ski's at least one time every year in winter. The guy loves to ski and one day I was talking to him and he said he did it just to say he went out. ...

Great post, I know your dad is proud.
Thanks for the sacrifices your family has made for all of us, it can be a good but tough life.

Look at it long term, if you upgrade fairly often, the 7" is probably okay. If you tend to keep your electronics for a long period of time, say 10 years or more I'd be inclined to get which ever 1 I...
