    pump the ball as she starts to struggle. If that helps, it's fuel delivery. Most likely fuel pump.

    Biggest issue will be mounting, not operation.

    In the spring, that launch is always like that. And, if you get an east wind, it can be a lot worse. Ibay with a South wind is the same way concerning weeds and trash. I would be happy with a decent rake chained to the dock so we could clean it ourselves.

    I have a similar set up and mounted mine on a ram with an extended arm, right on the gunnel. it sits inside the side curtain and I can swing it to face the bow when bass fishing.

    I would consider other areas before anything that is open to air circulation. If I am understanding you correctly, that area is only subjected to splash. Motor mounts, swim platform mounts, transducers, any through bolts or loose rivets under the water line are the first areas to look.

    Someone's going to get a great rig.

    I go to Pugsley"s in Ontario for and service that I can"t do myself. And,...No personal experience but East Fork Marina in Hamlin is highly recommended by many.

    I tried using a skeg on my xi5 and it decreased my battery life by 50%.

    I run the same boat with the 60 Xi5 MG and wish I had the 72" for trolling in anything more than calm seas.

    The most compact electric DR's are Walkers. Dependable and simple design. Finding a pair that are in excellent working condition can be a problem.
  13. Shakemsam
    What do you have it on and does it look to be modified? Their hardware kits are pretty specific.
  14. Shakemsam
    Not in a 2-3 ft chop.

    Put an amp meter on the kicker to see what it puts out. I am pretty sure it is not enough to charge your TM batts.
  16. Shakemsam
    Kicker brackets sometimes are necessary, but remember you will want the kicker completely out of the water when at speed, when mounting the bracket. Also, keep in mind other transom mounted devices like ducers and trim tabs if they are in your future plans. Also remember your dr cables location especially on a turn.

    I have their trees in my traxtechs.
  18. Shakemsam
    Different types of retrievers on your cable can cause it as well.

    If I went back to manuals, I would go Penn due to the depth dial.
  20. Shakemsam
    Yes it can. There was an add-on kit before Walker closed down. I have Walkers with the auto stop and they work well. Tough compact simple riggers but they are tough on coated temp cable.

    FYI, if a bow mounted TM is in the plans, only a Garmin FF can network with a Garmin TM. Birds network with Minkota. Lowrance networks with Motorguide. Other than that, it comes down to customer service. Garmin has a good rep for that. I have the 93svuhd with the GT56 (glorified GT54) and it is not the best ducer for trolling. I also fish SM and Pike and for that, it is very usefull. For trolling, I picked up a refurbished Lowrance with a basic 2d ducer 83/200 for less than the price of upgrading the ducer on the Garmin. And, it networks with my MG.

    Sub and DR work the same only the gauges are different. Sub is analog and the DR is digital.
  23. Shakemsam
    That was always the problem. I assumed it was just was so over grown, that you couldn't get through any more.
  24. Shakemsam
    I was always wondering what happened there. We fished out of there back in the early ESLO days.

    At times, I can't from my phone unless I change it to desktop.
