Read your manual carefully. It states that charging batteries while using the trolling motor can cause damage to the control board on the GPS models.
I am surprised about everyone who does not go by manufacturers recommendations. Lots of comments on charging while running but all wrong!

Ok, guys I need some insight. I have ran a tracker 175txw aluminum bass boat for a lot of years and several years ago I put a minn kota ultrex with a 52" shaft on it. I recently baught a tracker 175wt combo deep v boat and would like to just swap out trolling motors and use my ultrex with the 52" shaft instead of buying a new one. I'm getting mixed answers when asking people if it will work or will it cavitate too much? Do any of you guys have a similar boat with the 52" trolling motor on it? If so, how does it work? I know some are going to say to put it on and try it but thats a lot of work and several holes that I'd rather not have to deal with if I don't need to. Thanks for any advice.

You can also buy a longer shaft and change it

You probably have extra wires on the side mount control. One of them would surely be 12v supply only when key is on. If it is a factory side mount controller or a generic such as a Vevor, it will be there. Just check all unused "bullet" connectors for power only when the key is on. Good luck.

Go to Wallmart and get 50 lb test Shakespeare line. Very inexpensive, about $4. 1 spool will do 3 or 4 rods. Put on 150 or so ft of the 50 over a 3/4 filled reel, than 25 ft of quality 25 lb test fluorocarbon leader. Watch your knots so they are not so big such that they can't go thru eyes and levelwind eye. The 150 ft will be vertical when you use rigger and the diameter of the 50 lb is such that the fleas can't grab it. Horizontally from release to lure will be 25 lb fluoro but fleas don't grab much in horizontal position. Been doing this for many years and don't have a problem with fleas.

Got a late start after the storms, fished from 8 to 10:30. Got 2, lost 1. One was the biggest of our season so far.

What generation is it? I have a gen2 that needed a software update about a year ago. For some reason they lose critical gps data. Lowrance has what is called a "software patch" for most units that will fix many problems. Find your unit on Lowrances software update website, download and install the latest rev.

This has the inlet in from the splashwell. Around 1990 or so the inlet was moved to the port gunwale near the passenger seat.

It is 60 1/4 long , 17 3/8 wide and about 6 in deep. It is v shaped with a flat bottom.

Looking for a fuel tank for my 1992 Sea Nymph 195GLS. It's a 19 gallon tank. Current tank has a leak. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin
I have an 1985 model 195 that I am currently restoring. The fuel tank is plastic and I have it out. It is 24 gal. I can take measurements and pictures if that helps

Lots of talent there

Awesome! We went out yesterday in Mexico and never had a touch. Congrats, nice fish!
Everything we have been catching has been on dipsies with flasher/fly. Wouldn't even put out riggers except for Fishawk info. Been running 4 dipsies, deep and out 350 next to boat and higher out 400 . 2 each side. 150 to 200 ft of water. Left dock at 5am.

I just had a struggle finding mine. I found it and learned about the cartridge style pumps. My old boat you had to replace the whole pump. Now its just a cartridge you twist out and the housing/ drain tube etc stays put. This allows them to put the pumps in some crappy places and still have a viable option to swap the pump/motor only and leave the housing attached. May not be the case for everyone but something to look for on boats with tight areas. I had to do mine entirely by feel with one hand. Not fun but once you learn to lift the release and twist counterclockwise you can do it.
Did you access the pump from in front of the engine or from port or starboard side of the engine. Also, were there any tabs or clips that had to be pushed or so before twisting the cartridge counterclockwise.

I have used that and it works better than Deet
-
How was the best access, port ,starboard or directly in front of the engine ?
-
I have a 2001. 2052 and the pump is not visible. Maybe try a mirror to see it or fiber optic camera. I decided that I would just add another one if a problem occurs.

I never paid any attention to MDO but recently looked at its specs. Seems like a better choice than ACX. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any locally. Lowes And Home Depot don't carry it anymore. MDF is definitely no good and that is what they are pushing. Where did you get yours from ?
