    Trolling Motor Help

    I can’t help you but I’m going to hang out and see what others have to say. Being an older motor it may be hard to find parts or specs for it. Hope there is a plate that states amp draw and such.

    I miss my boat already.

    Withdrawal is hard. I visualize the new owner abusing them when daydreaming. However, I gave away a 1985 deep-v Sylvan to a friend, I acquired it free also, but I didn't run it or test it at all.

    winter cover

    I get 2 years out of the blue tarps. But I make sure they are out of the wind as much as possible and clean off the snow regularly. I also make a teepee type support so the snow can slide off easily.

    Winner 1850cc rear hatch?

    Ok Regardless, it should come out without cutting the area. Did you try to pry it out slowly and carefully.it could be glued down, did you try any adhesive remover along the edges? On another note, did you take a skinny pic and prod the holes to see if there are screws down deep?

    The runabout and the toon will be pulled today. Covered for the winter. Hope I get the runabout going, yesterday it quit cranking over but it was late in the day so I’ll have to test the wiring. Battery is fine and charged, starter was replaced this spring. Ugh…
