    motor plans

    I ran across something interesting on ebay tonight. It is plans to build a small gas powered trolling motor. The photos on the auction are not very clear but it looks like a weedeater crossed with a small hand held electric trolling motor. I didn't read the entire ad because I'm not...

    Routing transducer wires on trolling motor mount

    I have a 93 Evinrude foot control trolling motor that I will be mounting an Eagle puck style transducer to. I believe the typical install is to route the cable up the shaft using wire ties and then proceed down the cable to the foot control using electrical tape or wire ties, and then down the...

    I have an Eagle Fishmark 320 that I will be mounting on my bow. I have an empty slot on my fuse panel at the console that I want to use. I will run wiring from the panel to the bow which I would guess will be around 12' of wire for each color. These wires will be dedicated to the locator and...

    Sunbrella Boat Cover - Waterproofing

    I recently bought a used boat that has a Sunbrella cover. It is about 15 years old. The cover seems to be in pretty good shape but it had a few small tears here and there so I had a local canvas repair company repair it. The boat was stored inside a garage most of the time but after 15 years the...

    Axle and Bearing condition

    I am re-packing wheel bearings and while I don't think I need to replace anything except the seals, I would like some opinions regarding the condition of my axles and bearings to confirm what I am seeing. Right axle: This axle looks pretty good. (I think) I see a very light ring where the seal...

    Wheel bearing grease

    I am re-packing my wheel bearings and would like your opinions on wheel bearing grease. (specifically Super Tech from Wallyworld) On a previous boat that I owned many years ago, I used Lubrimatic wheel bearing grease so I still have a little of that my grease gun. It seemed to be pretty good...

    Recently purchased boat: 1992 Sea Nymph FM 160 - 1993 50 hsp Evinrude - 1993 Haul Rite Trailer - I have not had it wet yet. I've posted another thread recently on plastic bunks and mentioned my roller questions but I thought I'd start another one with this one more centered on trailer set up...

    Evinrude trolling motor angle adjustment

    I have a 93 Evinrude foot controlled trolling motor and wondered if there is a way to adjust the shaft angle. The motor (like most) is mounted at an angle along side the gunnel which means the angle of the motor when the foot control is in the center is heading at the same angle. I'd like to...

    Need opinion on trailer bunks

    I just recently purchased a 1992 Sea Nymph FM160 with a 50 Evinrude. Although I have not had it off the trailer yet (and probably won't before winter) I can tell that the bunks are probably on their last leg and need to be replaced. The bunks are about 7 feet or a little longer. I've been...

    I just recently purchased a used boat and it has those rectangular Wesbar submersible trailer lights. Inside, it has a sealed unit shaped like a teardrop. One of them doesn't work properly and I have confirmed it is the trailer light and not wiring. I know the replacement units are available...
