    Minn Kota Heading Control Puck - Distance from Trolling Motor

    Confirming... consensus seems to be that getting the heading puck farther from the trolling motor doesn't add precision or anything to operation of the i-pilot, etc. Has anyone found that to be not the case? I'm mounting on a 16' aluminum boat... so mounting it right near the motor gives me...

    '92 40 Mariner Magnum bad idle

    My brother has complained in the past that our 40 Magnum doesn't run along well at idle speed... meaning, in gear... putt-putting through shallows, no-wakes, etc. Well, I ran the engine for a while at idle, no problems. But, when I approached the landing to trailer the boat, I tilted the...

    Time to replace my X60 - updated

    Fishing that I do is usually confined to depths of less than 20 feet (I'm having a tough time thinking of the last time I was in water even 40 feet deep). Most is in rivers and reservoirs. Most are fairly stained (not clear).<br /><br />I'm hoping to get around problems I had in the past with...
