I also have a trophy 2359 since 1993(new then) I just bought my second yama ht9.9 20" remote electric kicker. had the other one since 1995, still working well but thought i should get a new one. the 20" is just perfect for me. One thing, do not try to mount your highthrust 9.9 on the swim platform as it probably will buckle it everytime u give it some juice. I cut my platform and used a good garlick mount for four stroke highthrust motors. had mine on the platform for a while and a friend was driving the boat and when he gave it some gas i thought the platform was going to break. hope this helps. there must be 15 or 20 yama ht 9.9 in owsego harbor and have really not seen any longer than 20". john

fishstix, i fish on my friends boat and at times the both motors, main and 9.9HT yama, never had a problem. i personally run two seperate electrical systems, i have everything i fish with wired to my 9.9HT yama downriggers,fishfinder ,fishhawk, radio etc. has its own battery etc. the boat is wired as it was when i bought it. doing this for 12 yrs , even run two seperate fuel systems, portable tank on swim platform for 9.9. never had a prob. john

for sure , black to ground and white to what ever lite switch u want, keep them twisted, this helps with compass deviation. john

hope u never get spooled. LOL john

i have used a 9.9 yama ht since 1995 (just ordered a new one) i went with the 9.9 because of the 10 amp alt. don't forget the alt amp output is at wide open trottle, at least that is my understanding. john

years ago i read that fishhawk might interfer with lorance lms350 so it might be the same with ur eagle. john

i have used 5 different siliverado 5.3 ltr chev 1500 (1/2 ton) trucks to tow a 2359 trophy about 5000 lbs plus equip/trailer etc. never had any prob. I believe there rated for 8500 lbs. john

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and everyone. a blessed new year and safe fishing. john

Just got one in cabelas last week. less than 6 dls. john

If I remember right it was quite accurate. I attach the braid to may cable and once I have one wrap around the spool I wrap the cable spool with electrical tape, this keeps the braid from getting in the wire cable. I never let all the braid with the attached wire out as it might break off. john

I have been using the braided cabale's downrigger line for about 5 yrs have no problems with it. Have also used 150 lb pro line and really like it. when the fleas get bad I remove it. I do tie it right over my DR wire. john
