I bought a Li time 12v 100 ah Lithium this spring with the battery case on special for $349.00 for both. 5 yr warranty. Dekotas were about double the price just for the battery. Dekotas had an 11 yr warranty but pro rated after 7. All the research I did indicates with the technology out there today they are all basically the same.. I could have spent another 100 bucks on the battery and got the battery warmer and bluetooth features but didn't figure I needed them. The size of the battery is equal to a 24 series lead acid and much lighter. I'm running a 50 lb thrust minn kota V2 power drive moving a 16 1/2 ft Aluminum loaded with riggers and all the gear to fish either trout or bass and I'm very happy so far. I trolled on a windy day with the bow mounted minn kota for 5 hrs straight, motor running about 80 to 90% and then bass fished for an hour before the battery died. When it died it died though. LOL. No warning it went from full power to dead in a few seconds. I charge it with a a noco genius10amp charger and so far I couldn't be happier.

Before down speed and temp units we would run a thumper rod. Old style dodger and fly with a three way swivel and a 16 oz ball dropped from the three way swivel. More wire you let out the deeper it would run. Watched the action of the rod tip and it was not only very accurate the rig itself took many Kings when you found the right depth.

I believe most mounting plates are 3/8 thick with about .020 to .030 clearance to slide into the track both thickness and width.. I don't see why you couldn't get away with 1/2" thick but I can't guess on the width. Going by memory here as a tool maker but I never really measured one.

Thats a big ole laker for Cayuga. Congrats.

Thanks Rick. I was not aware of this data.

Then why don't the lake managers age these fish when they run up into the hatchery? And who says it's a large group. I guess you fish the Salmon river area of the lake all fall every fall? There has definitely been a steady increase of these 2 yr old fish maturing over the last 10 years.

You seem to make a lot of assumptions. After 25 yrs of happily fishing the lake I would refer to a teenager just like my kids when they were growing up. 13 to 17 pounds was a teenager and always a two year old fish. !8 to 26 lbs was a 3 yr old and of course depends on whether we are talking spring or fall. You could argue the point all day without scientific proof of the age but why? Enjoy what you got because you will not change anything on a message board. In my experience fishing the east end, over the last 10 yrs the number of 2 yr old fish maturing has been on a steady increase. Whats a two year old fish? 12 to 15 lbs in the fall.

Sweet!!!

Guarantee that old timer had some hours into those blanks. Pretty cool. Very glad everybody knows what lure he was trying to imitate, Just kidding.

Price reduction to 325.00 include shipping.

Friend posted this one up. Help you out?

I'll post this up on my local MA fishing site and see if anybody can help you out. What year is the unit?

New in the box. Paid $699.00 on sale at Cabelas last year and decided it wasn't going to work for what I wanted it for when I started setting it up. Never worn and everything works as it should. $350.00 shipped to anywhere in the eastern US. Powered up. Solar charging capabilities give you up to a 20 day battery life according to the manual. Specifications Charger and owners manual.

I used round cradles and layed the torpedoes in sideways. Tail toward the back and they worked out fine but they were on a flat raised board across the top of the transom. I'll see if I can find a picture.
