    Trolling motor circuit breaker issue

    Normally pushing down a C B causes it to stay down and supply power to the motor. Are you testing it with the battery connected ? Or doing it with no battery connected ? It should stay down either way.

    Anybody know what this is?

    Those pointy edges would destroy the rod grip material in 1 trip. I vote for a set of top arched poles. Those teeth prevent the poles from rotating.

    A closing unbelievable remark about gas to oil ratios. Way back a test group decided to see how little oil could run a 2 stroke O B. They settled on 300 something to 1. Even I would not go near that on a dare. Anybody know for sure. What ETEC ran on in California to get EPA and California...
