Launched yesterday and trolled from the creek to the nose at several depths with no luck. It was good to get out anyway. Don

Glad to hear you had a good trip and you're boat worked okay. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

THanks, I will check into that. Looking to buy

Trailer for 28 foot Baha Fisherman 10.5 feet wide with twin screws.

Missdemeanor Thank you for the information. Who did your custom rudders?

Thankyou for your reponse. I tried to message but I guess I do not know how. Do you have an auto pilot? If so, what brand and what kind of steering?

Thankyou to both of you for the information. Did either of youy put larger rudders on the boat as well?

We were trolling today on one engine in our twin engine boat with two large sea anchors deployed. There was a two knot current and wind. When we trolled into the current and wind we had to run our engine at 1200 rpm or more which caused a lot of vibration. If we removed the sea anchors to reduce the load the vibration went away and there is no vibration at high speed. Any ideas on what might cause this?Don

I purchase a 28Ft Baha fisherman this year. The boat has dual engines and mechanical steering and we use it to troll for salmon and trout in Lake Ontario. We have been trolling with one engine and two sea anchors and are obtaining reasonable performance. It is difficult to steer particularly in a following sea and require considerable force to turn the wheel with the engine running although the wheel turns easily when the boat is not moving. Someone else in the marina suggested we increase the size of the rudders to improve the steering and I believe that installing hydraulic steering would ease the steering and allow us to install an auto pilot. Does anyone have any suggestions? Don

I noticed that the engines have 1000 hours. Was this repowered sometime along?
