Disappointing...one would think they would avoid the ramp to help bring in a few tourist dollars.

Are they actually working on the ramp or are they just using the space for construction staging?

BTW that slam was aimed at Cannon, as that is the factory silicone job. I've said it before, if you look at the coating on a PENN electric downrigger board you will see what potting is supposed to be like. OK, I need to let it go!

There is no harm in taking a jumper (Piece of wire with two alligator clips) and shorting out the resistor. If it runs then you have an open circuit in the resistor.

I see one that is highly suspect...!!!!! And i just love the attempt at waterproofing the board with some half assed silicone.......

FWIW The down speed is reduced via a resistor in series with the motor when the down relay is activated. It is done because the motor running in conjunction with gravity pulling the weight down is too fast. That being said the voltage at the motor will be 13.8 VDC (Nominal) while raising the motor and something less when lowering. On thing to try immediately upon a failure is to identify the solder joints where the relays connect to the board , and touch each of them with a drop of solder. I found cold solder joints a few times. I have 5 Cannons and they are poorly designed in many aspects. I inherited them on the boat when I bought it, so that's why I am living with the problems.

Thanks for the replies. I'll contact both of these people.

What are the qualities and who makes a good quality cover for an 18 ft Alumacraft. It must be able to go down the road without flopping around. My experience with straps and plastic buckles is they aren't strong enough to keep from coming unfastened. I'm willing to pay for something that works well. Thanks for any advice.

FYI Bass Tourney is Sunday

Works fine. I added a hardwired unit so I don't need it any more. If you have an ethernet port (yellow), just plug into it and you can view the screen on a smart phone or tablet. One bit of information that Lowrance doesn't divulge is that you CANNOT use it as a handheld remote steering control if you have Lowrance autopilot. I thought I would use my smart phone to steer but that feature doesn't work from the WIFI driven device. Ethernet cable NOT included.

pm for you

When you say "newer hooks" do you mean new OEM or a substitute? thanks

Sale pending!

Complete working Depth Raider. Doesn't include the coated downrigger wire. Includes owners manual.

Cisco base plate with stanchion and quick release base. Quantity of 2. Good condition.

Robbins Marine, Milton PA sells Lund and Yamaha. FWIW the friend I talked about bought the Lund Impact. I own an Alumacraft Navigator. They are very similar. The Lund is no better. That being said, Bombardier just bought Alumacraft, and now Yamaha said they are not sending any motors to Alumacraft. Good luck with your pursuit...its always fun to look at new boats.

Go to a dealer that sells Lund and tell them you want a Yamaha. They can make it happen. You might not get the best price though. My friend bought one that had a Merc already mounted and he told them he wanted a Yamaha....and they made it happen. With respect to electric motors, you will need at least a 60 inch shaft.
