    G5 Strikers have never let me down. They all spin right out of the box too. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    We've installed them at Krenzer Marine for a customer. They seem to like them.

    Brand new in the box. $2100 pick up only in Rochester or Sodus Riptide Terrova 112 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 36V-112lb-72" ALL IN ONE. Power? Try up to 112 pounds of thrust. Control? You can equip it with wireless GPS remotes, and stow it effortlessly with the new Lift-Assist mechanism. And stealth? It's a Riptide - enough said. The most talked about motor in saltwater just got better. Any more questions? Lift-Assist A new Lift-Assist mechanism on the redesigned Riptide Terrova carries the weight of the motor for you to make stowing easier - so you can save your strength to reel in the big ones. Redesigned Stow/Deploy Lever Riptide Terrova's Stow/Deploy lever has been redesigned to allow for one-step stow or deploy - making it even easier to use. Just push down with your hand or foot when you're ready to move. Quieter Steering Motor Updated Riptide Terrova has a completely new motor design - engineered to run quieter than ever before. So fish won't be spooked, but you might be. i-Pilot w/New Phone App Boat positioning becomes automatic with the redesigned, GPS-powered i-Pilot. i-Pilot lets you set Spot-Locks, record paths, control speed and steering, and more. Features reinvented Spot-Lock - the most accurate electronic GPS anchor ever - and have redesigned remote with larger screens, more options, and Bluetooth technology, so you can connect to your smartphone for quick control of basic functions and easy software updates. Push-To-Test Battery Meter Riptide Terrova's Push-to-Test Battery Meter gives you an instant "state of charge" reading at the push of a button, so you can see just how much longer you have on the water. Weedless Wedge 2 Prop Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance. Advantage Minn Kota Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life. Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. Saltwater Advantage Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating & a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected. Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out. Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced & a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesn't have to. 2-Year Warranty This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty. Specifications Control: Remote Volts: 36 Max Thrust: 112 lbs. Shaft Length: 72" i-Pilot Speed Control: Variable AutoPilot: Incl. on i-Pilot Max. Amp Draw: 52 Prop: Weedless Wedge 2 (MKP-38)

    This motor was used in a boat show over the Winter of 2018/2019. It has about 1 weeks worth of use on a 24' center counsel boat. The boat was sold and the new owner didn't want the trolling motor. Price is firm at $2,400 pick up only. Can meet in the Rochester or Sodus area for pick up. See trolling motor specs below: Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-72" TELL YOUR MOTOR TO GO STOW & DEPLOY ITSELF. Stow, deploy, trim and operate your motor from anywhere on the boat. It's not magic, but it's close. Riptide Ulterra features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, and comes with i-Pilot. Fish from anywhere. Dominate everywhere. Auto Stow/Deploy Nothing makes fishing easier than Riptide Ulterra. Auto Stow/Deploy lets you get your motor in and out of the water using the included i-Pilot remote. Power Trim Once your motor's in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using your remote. Ulterra handles the busy work, so you can focus on fishing. Integrated Battery Meter In addition to showing the remote battery life, your i-Pilot remote will also show you the state of your motor's batteries, so you'll never have to guess how much longer you have on the water. Digital Maximzer™ Motors with Digital Maximizer provide up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.

    4 captains, 1 professor, 15 students, 1 DEC officer, 1 news person, and 1 stream guy. VERY poor turnout, but there is a WebEx next week people can attend.

    We installed a Lowrance outboard pilot here at the marina a few months ago. Seemed like a pretty easy install. Something to look into since you already have Lowrance MFD's.

    Hmmmm......I might be interested in selling ya my 2002 Baron with Yamaha's for $25k so I could buy this one. Mine wouldn't be ready until after first week of December.

    I feel the lake guys just keep getting the short end of the stick. The DEC is the one who told us the Chinook is managed for the lake and the Steelhead are managed for the tribs. If that's the case we should protect our fish, and make sure the best of the best get into that hatchery. Here would be some of the benefits of closing down the tribs from Aug 31 to Oct 31 would: Get the best fish/genetics to the hatchery Make sure the hatchery gets it's eggs on low water years Alleviate the need for DEC assets to be present, and take less phone calls Put more food in the tribs for the trout coming in behind Keep more trout in the river for the trout guys This really is what would give the trib guys what they want with this new regulation. They want bigger Trout. Well, when the goon squad is up during Salmon season the biggest and best trout are taken out of the river. Get rid of the disgusting crowd that lacks ethics Create less stress on the Chinooks so the ones who do spawn have a better product Let some of the BT spawn so they aren't ripped out of the fishery for the sole purpose of taking their eggs

    Wouldn't it be great if the Salmon River was closed down for Salmon season so the biggest and best genetics made it to the hatchery? If you've seen the Sh**show on that river you'd know the hatchery gets "whatever makes it." The hatchery does a great job with what they have to work with.

    Troll less than 20' of water. There are a few guys out there still getting some action.
  11. Yankee Troller
    You're right, but there are a few reasons for this. First reason being the DEC stocked above target levels for a few years, and secondly a huge die off die to Vitamin B deficiency. Nothing either group caused. I'm sorry, but when you can hook 15-40 trout a day on a trib how many more do you need? At least with the lake guys, especially charters, we kill the first legal limit and we're off the water.
  12. Yankee Troller
    I'd say your limited to 100-200' coppers. Google those specific reels capacities and then compare those to Saltsit or Tekota's. That will give you a better idea. For example, on a Saltist 50 I can get 150yds of 50lb braid and up to 300' of 45lb copper.
  13. Yankee Troller
    I agree with you about the impact. However, your perception of charter guys is off. 95% of my charters and most I see are 4 clients. We're only allowed to carry a max of 6. Trout unlimited has been seen with the leaders of the trib movement in closed door meetings with DEC officials. We'll never know what was discussed in those closed door meetings. We have some of the largest Trout in the country in our backyard with a very lucrative special interest group in their back pocket. I love how for many years the charter guys ran the pen projects with donated and personal time and money. However, in the last year 100,000 was found to help the trib guys get started on pen projects. I also read where the DSR on the Salmon river is making changes by only allowing fly fishing on certain days, and making people move drifts after a certain amount of time. I know the guy who runs the place. He's told me numerous times he has enough guys who would pay $20,000ea to hang out, smoke cigars, catch one or two fish and be content. They wouldn't have to allow the masses in who buy daily and yearly passes. With more land going from public to private up there I can see where this whole trib thing is going.

    Good to know. I get asked about mechanical drive AP's a few times a year and knew about the Sitex option. I just never knew anyone who had one.
  15. Yankee Troller
    So, becasue they say it will help we should trust them? Do you know about the special interest group called in to help grease the DEC's palms on this?
  16. Yankee Troller
    Right, but he mentioned he already has a Garmin.
  17. Yankee Troller
    Stick with a Garmin AP and you wont have to get an AP disply. You can control it right through your Garmin head unit. Does the boat have hydraulic steering?
  18. Yankee Troller
    I run 15lb test on my BT set-ups that have taken many kings. For Salmon I run 20lb test when running spoons, and 25lb test when pulling paddles/meat/flies. I'm gonna say your set-ups will work just fine!
  19. Yankee Troller
    The old Great Lakes System rods were the best rods!
  20. Yankee Troller
    ML 7'-9' rods make great BT rods. I was given a couple of the Wilderness rods and they didn't last. I run Daiwa Great Lakes rods for most everything else and I'm still not a huge fan of the fit and finish of those. I hate to say it, but Daiwa's quality has gone down considerably. I'm a huge Daiwa guy, but these Great Lakes specific rods IMHO are low end. You look at their Bass line ups and they look great!
  21. Yankee Troller
    We've caught the incidental Salmon on these, but they're great for BT. They are either Riverside or Streamside rods that Fat Nancy has made specifically for Spring BT. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. Yankee Troller
    We run 2 piece 9' ML rods that Fat Nancy's in Pulaski had made specifically for BT. They are a blast!
  23. Yankee Troller
    I was just gonna list this on here for ya bud.
  24. Yankee Troller
    BW Customs is Sodus is one of the best in the area. Tell him I sent ya.

    If you're looking at a B60 most people run the 20*.
