Times two on the hydraulic steering & Ray EV150, what Gambler said. Best friend you'll ever have on your boat.

Kicker motor prop
stinger replied to cnyh2ofowler's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
AA: What is the model# of the Solace four blade prop you use. I have a 2006 Merc 9.9 4 stroke with the stock three blade prop that I use as a kicker for trolling on my 19' glass boat. Just wondering if a four blade will be better suited for 1.8-2.5 mph that I usually am trolling at. -

This is still available if interested. Furuno-Airmar 520IHD, P79 In-Hull Owners Guide.pdf -
Another thing to consider is run trolling bags so you will have to run at higher RPMs. The higher RPMs will also generate more amps to charge your batteries if you have that feature.

Anytime Guido. Moving forward questions like this one you posted will get better looks and more chances of member input in as category like "Tackle & Techniques" -
I've used Big Jon's with the booms in the up position to pull planer boards and it worked really well on my boat. The electric retrieve is great. Use quick slide mounts to change positions of the riggers as needed.

I don't know the fishing regs in Canada but using downriggers you can double your baits using cheaters on each rod. Running four baits you'll be able to cover four depths.

You don't grease the rubber rollers anyway. Just the roller axles. Like Bulletbob I've been using white lith on my boat trailer since the 80's -
Try the spray white lithium grease. It should last longer.

Try Budge Industries, boat covers. The better 1200 denier cover is pretty good. Like any cover you'll have to properly support it for snow load.

Hi Joe. Welcome to LOU. You will probably get better help with more views in the "This Old Boat" in the section of LOU. Good luck with your repair.

Think twice about momentary switches. When you start fishing the 70' to 120' depths it will be frustrating holding the switch down setting a line or retrieving the ball to reset a line. Manual switch is good, the clutch is your friend. -
Most of the Big Jon's operate like that. I've been doing it for over 30 years. Just be sure that you have the clutch set to just hold the rigger ball while trolling so if the ball comes all the way up before you stop it the cable doesn't snap .

My vote goes to Torpedo trolling wire 19-strand. May cost a little more but well worth it.
