    I sort of feel the same way about my Walkers. Compact and basically trouble free. I've never run Penn electrics but I have run the manuals. Excellent riggers if you can get past the toy like look.

    Like previously mentioned, use the appropriate hoses. Measure carefully before you cut. better to be long than short. as far as that box goes for the vent line, drill out any rivets you see to disassemble the box. Im sure its encased with foam which you will have to dig out. Then you can access the hose. Another option would be to re-route the hose and install a new vent.

    I would guess it just wasn't written with boaters in mind.

    No clue! Honestly, I have never seen any mention in my owner manuals concerning a distribution hitch. And I have never seen one on a boat trailer. The purpose of a distribution hitch is to eliminate sway from a tongue light load. Your trailer tongue weight should be 10-15% of the gross load wt. adjustable by moving your axle(s) forward or back, or even by how far forward or back, the boat sits on the trailer. Not happening on an RV!

    I can only imagine that recommendation is geared towards the RV crowd being their tongue weight cant be adjusted.

    Much better options for trolling than the 56. Suggest an Airmar P66 but you will need an adapter. The 56 is really designed for shallower water and structure.

    12 ga is fine. Your accessories amp requirements will be written on their bodies, someplace. Biggest draw will be bilge and live well. Your O/B will have a main fuse under the cowling and cables go directly to the battery or a Perko type switch. FWIW, I recommend installing a 30amp breaker switch fed from the battery, feeding your switch panel at the dash. That way you can shut your dash and accessories down with out disconnecting the battery or losing power to the O/B.

    Lower the price in acceptable increments each month until you receive some attention, then hold.

    The biggest Ninja's are what you want. They work well.

    Agree with Gambler..Nothing about any of the synthetics is a good idea. Heavy, slick, and hot under foot. Concerning the Marideck, I used Nautolex which is basically the same. They both work best with outdoor carpet adhesive layed down with a notched trowel.

    Cleaners like.. toilet bowl cleaner, 409, or actual hull cleaners, I use for algae stains. Hardwater stains can generally be removed with a wash and dry. I wipe down my OB with a Wd-40 throughout the season for a spotless finish.

    I was just east of Chippewa that same week and saw the same.

    Thank you slayer. That's not as bad as I expected. I have a bud at work who already pulled his docks at Henderson. So..I thought. It was much worse. Thanks again!

    Just another option to consider... For just a bit $ more than the P66, I purchased a refurbished 7" Lowrance Elite with 50/200 that also networks with my Motorguide TM.

    Can anyone offer a water level report down around Pecos and Millens Bay? Heading up in 4 weeks for my annual fall perch trip and last year, the local launch closed due to low water. I'm assuming it's even worse this year.
  18. Shakemsam
    Regardless of manufacturer, Outboard or Inboard. Nothing in between!

    If you haven't done it, schedule a trip with a Charter for yourself and your boys. Most are very willing to offer information and advice on getting started. Myself, I suggest you get used to the boat and what it needs for now. Then start in the early Spring with Browns. I also suggest CL and FBMP for used tackle. You don't have to spend a fortune to catch fish. The boys will have a blast, regardless.

    The Gt54 isn't really the best for deep water. It's really for structure fishing geared towards much shallower water. You could try switching it out to a Gt21 or maybe a Gt 23 with a cable adapter. You will have to check the Garmin web. Most switch to an Airmar P66.

    Not sure where you're located. .Martin Engine Machine (formerly Farmer Engines) in Webster NY has a good rep.

    Slipped there in the 80's. It was a give and take kind of deal. Ideal location and slip fees were reasonable with a good bunch of guys. Biggest issue was the narrowness of the channel allowing only one boat to pass, sometimes creating a bottleneck. The overhanging branches were starting to become a problem and the Parkway Bridge was a pain as well. Generally rods were ok but antennas mounted on HT's were not. A lot of us were running outriggers then which made it a real PITA. Also, a good rain would turn the launch into a skating rink. But Im sure that will no longer be an issue. I hope it works out. It was nice quiet out of the way kind of place.

    Hey Matt, Great job on a tough day!
  24. Shakemsam
    Doubt seriously you will ever find information that specific. Wire color is set by the industry but that's about it.

    You could go with Motorguide to pair with your Lowrance.
