    Great boat for lake O. I have the same thing. Runs great in heavy waves for its size. Looks like you have solved my only complaint, the fishboxes filling with water. Any info on the fishbox seals would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Works great. Problem is I have it on a 21 ft walkaround and I mostly fish alone. Going out to the pulpit area to deploy in 3 to 4 footers is a bit dangerous. Dont need to be taking chances like that at this age. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Minnkota I Pilot Terrova US2 (Universal Sonar Head), 36 volt 112 lb 72 in shaft (6ft) with quick release bracket, Minnkota 3 bank charger, 3 batteries and battery trays, Ram mount to stabilize head, all documentation and system circuit breaker. System was used very little. As pictures show, essentially new condition, not a scratch on it. Is installed on a walk around cuddy. At 67 years old it is a bit much for me to deploy in 3 ft or higher waves. $2000 Firm Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I had a good one made about 20 years ago for my sea nymph. Made from Pacific Blue Sunbrella. Never regretted it. About 10 years ago I put it inside the boat when storing the boat for the winter with a large truck cover with special frame. Laying inside the boat, the mice decided that it was a nice nesting material and chewed holes in it. I patched em and I am still using it today. Getting a bit dry rotted now and will need replacement soon. Moral of the story, store it in a sealed container when not in use. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    If you are redoing the floor look into the Greenwood Industries Marine XL plywood or the Sherwood Redek XL. This is the stuff used on modern pontoon boats that is treated and is compatable with alum. Supposedly a lifetime warranty. Overtones and Gander Outdoors has it listed for about $102 for a 3/4 x 4ft x 8 1/2 sheet. Just by the sheet dimensions it appears to be targeted for marine use. Probably the stuff used by Smokercraft now. They also make Starcraft and Sylvan. I have a 2003 Smokercraft Ultima 192 and a 2013 Sylvan Pontoon. Both have lifetime warrantys on their treated floors.

    Should also mention that since it is a alum boat with a wooden transom core, you should also put a 1/4 x 2 in alum bar on each side on the inside. Tap the holes for the 3/8 bolts if possible And put nuts on the bolts over the alum bars to lock all. Use the nylok type nuts and plenty of 3M 5200.

    All the above comments are basically true. If you want to give it another try I would do the following: The bolt that ripped out was too far down creating a large "moment" that caused the failure. The bolts should be at least 3/ 8 dia with another one added about 3/4 from the top. 3 per side. The ss angle appears to be bending so I would recommend alum bar at least 1/4 thick and as wide as the ss angle half that touches the transom to be placed over each side before the bolts are placed thru. The bracket still is a bit light for the application but that is your call. This recommendation is from a mechanical engineer with 43 years of machine design and structural analysis experience.

    My neighbor bought an 89 Sea Nymph 195 with a 100hp Merc. Nothing but problems. Wanted to troll with it, that was a joke. Was going to put on a kicker. I suggested that the 2 stroke merc was not to be relied upon to be 7 or so miles offshore. Always missing, hard to start, etc I suggested that he put on a new 4 stroke and forget about the kicker. He bought a new 90 Yamaha V Max four stroke. Fantastic motor, does everything and he never looked back. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    It is most likely a scam. Saw a nice rig supposedly located in Lockport, NY. Saw the same add in the Cleveland Craigslist but said the boat was located in Helena, Montana. All scams!! Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Attachment Tried to send gasket and seal catalog but LOC message said attachments of this type are not supported. Send your e-mail to me in a private message and I will forward the window gasket and seal catalog from American Marine. They are distributed by Pompanette LLC.

    The Cannons have a circuit breaker built in for motor current overload. The problem is that doesn't help if you have a short circuit between the power source (battery) and the downrigger circuit breaker. A 40 amp breaker installed on the positive line close to the battery is recommended. Usually less than a $10 item at most auto part stores. Fuses are ok but a resettable breaker is much more convenient. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Not a tubular shape, that is a capacitor. The relays are about a 1 inch black square block. If u have a large tubular capacitor on the board, it is not a 5st or 10stx board. The "caps" on that are rectangular white blocks. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Not the relay "coil", but the whole relay. That is the device shown in the picture. There are two of them on the PWB (printed wiring board) of the 5st and 10stx. They are $1.94 each online. The whole control board will cost $75 with shipping. Twice that if you have a service center do it. The contacts in the relay corrode and /or burn and become useless, than no function on the rigger.

    I have previously owned a 2001 Sportcraft 272. I had a few of the sliding windows that had disintegrated gaskets. Could never find them anywhere. After I sold it I ran across a company that had the exact right thing. Try an outfit called Pompanette LLC. They specialize in marine window gaskets in seals. As for the kicker, i had a Yamaha T 9.9 XPA on it. The 25 in shaft worked great and it was quiet and smooth. Worked well up to 3 ft waves than it struggled after that. Burned almost no fuel. If I would do it today, I would go with the 15 hp merc with EFI. Low noise and low vibration makes a 5 hr trolling morning much more enjoyable. If I want to hear engine noise and vibration I will stand by the highway and wait for a Harley to go by. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
