  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Ah yes, it’s a 24 volt. One battery is on its second season and the other one is new. The boat is an alumacraft trophy 195. The motor was coming in and out of the water all morning with the waves
  4. Have you checked you voltage at the plug? If it’s 24-36 volt try taking your leads off and checking each battery to make sure they are all good and getting a full charge. My 36 volt I can get about 5-6 hours of spot lock and cruising for fish
  5. It inspired my to run a dreamweaver orange slice spoon off leadcore.
  6. BLACK SHORT TILT-LOK ELECTRONICS MOUNT For anglers looking to save some space on consoles that have limted space this mount will best suit your needs. Unlike the Sure-Lok that has the ability to lift and rotate the unit to a different radial position, this Tilt-Lok simply remains stationary at the base and only allows the electronics unit to be adjusted on the vertical axis. This rigid mount allows ZERO movement once it is locked in position and is great for situations where there is no need for the spring loaded rotating base supplied on our standard Sure-Lok mount. Price: $75 + sh.
  7. I do not know what voltage your motor draws and I do not know the battery capacity you have and I do not know how new those batteries are. But in spite of all those unknowns it sounds to me that, that trolling motor is working very hard and that it is probably just fine. Spot locking in hard winds takes a lot of energy and you cannot really compare performance by wind speed alone. 20 mph creates strong surface currents that are on top of wind speed. and dependent on the wind direction there may not have been a lot of current when the wind speed was 10 to 15
  8. Yesterday
  9. Thank you, would truly appreciate it.
  10. I feel like I have been having issues with my trolling motor my last couple times out, but I’m not sure because I don’t often spot lock in one location for hours. Last Saturday I was spot locked in place for about 4 hours in 10 to 15 mph winds before the motor died. Today I was spot locked for an hour in 20 plus mph winds before it died. The trolling motor was running at 10 speed to keep me in place. Does this seem normal to you guys. All batteries were fully charged.
  11. I THINK I do...might have gotten thrown away...will look later
  12. Nice! We got a late start at 9:30 today. Fished 9:30-1:30. Offshore wind and some rain. Fished mostly east of port. Landed one nice brown over 30 fow on a purple stinger down 20’. A few hits on smith wick black n orange rogue.
  13. Fished 8-35' waters east and west of the piers 7-11. Not a bite. Tried a wide variety of baits and colors. Boat back in the lot reported 15/20 on salmon in 50-75 fow over 100 between 4 guys.
  14. I bought mine based on BoatUS: https://www.boatus.org/study-guide/equipment/vds
  15. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for marine canvas work. Still have the original canvas on my 1990 North Coast and it’s time to upgrade. I know some of these guys are mobile, that is ideal for me. However, I am willing to travel some (~ 1hr) if it is worth it. Located in three mile bay. Thanks!
  16. Good king bite this morning out front 80-110’.
  17. I have heard that you MAY have interference issues with it so I avoided it. Try it out and if you do rewire it separately.
  18. I think letting us know what your goal depth wise or what you want to achieve would best help us help you. Generally boards should be clipped onto monofilament line(some people do run braid though). Mainline can be copper, weighted steel, lead core, and a leader on top of that. Give us some more specifics I’m sure people can chime in. Also I’m assuming you’re referring to inline boards
  19. You can get the 628 all over the place and they are very similar
  20. Thank you both. So do you both believe that if I run the Terrova and and fish finder off the same battery I will get interference?
  21. Got another insane one this morning and had to share lots of boats were out today until steady rain started - unfortunately I was not one of them
  22. I have a Saltist 30H on a Fish USA 8'6" rod that I wish to use for planer boards. Should I use braid or steel? Was planning on 20lb backing. Am I right that the backer should run to the release, so as to prevent damage to the chosen line? Rather confused on how to rig the setup. Thanks for any advice.
