    Cable Extender for Battery Charger

    I installed a battery charger for my trolling motor awhile back and was planning on hooking it up to my starting battery as well. I purchased the 15' cable extenders made by ProMariner. Well, I should have checked first. The extended cables are not long enough to reach to the back of my...

    Pontoon covers

    I'm trying to find a cover for my pontoon boat. I'm looking for a cover that I can leave on while towing down the highway. I bought one last summer and the add said it was good for towing. That was not worth a crap. Either the D-ring or straps kept breaking. This past week while driving home...

    Just Installed MK

    I just installed a Minn Kota Terrova 55 w/I-Pilot. It was an easy installation. Will be going out this weekend to try it out on Webster Lake in Kansas. :D Can't wait. I haven't installed a circuit breaker yet, but will take care of that when I get back. My wife loves to fish, so she'll get...

    Slimers

    Pontoon Boats and Wind

    Okay, I've owned my pontoon boat for a year now. Before, I owned a 16' Crestliner. There have been a few people I've talked with that said they really liked pontoon boats, but would not want to be out on one during very windy conditions for fear of it blowing over??? Have any of you ever heard...

    Trolling Motor in Pontoon Boat

    I'm getting all set to purchase a Terrova 55 Trolling Motor with I-pilot. I was curious if any pontoon boat owners had a Terrova installed on your pontoon boat. If so, how do you like it installed on a pontoon? Any problems? Thanks for any replies.

    hand operated vs foot controller

    This is my first post on this forum, so bear with me. I plan on purchasing a trolling motor for my 21' pontoon boat. I was debating on getting a foot operated trolling motor (most likely minn-kota), but the more I look, the more I think we can get by just fine with a hand controlled trolling...
