Seems I'm getting ask the same ?? from folks so :
If interested ,you could pick them up in Rochester,Sodus Bay or BassPro (Auburn) .
I will take cash or PayPal. Shipping would be extra . (I have over $600. invested)
Thanks for looking !!
Which ever method you use I would drill a very small hole at each end of the crack so it won't grow . I would lean toward welding , but I would also want to know why it cracked so it won't happen again.
Good Luck!
Bought 2 - 1116's last year , Great Rigger . Only uses power when coming up. I have mine mounted on tracks as well , no problem. (be sure to have backing plates under the tracks ).
Plywood and resin works great and you can buy the resin at Wal-mart in the auto department by the qt. If you put carpet down you have to use contact cement and I found a small roller works nice to coat the floor and the back of the carpet .
Good Luck !

I think most will agree once you fish with down temp and speed you won't want to be without it .On lake O every time I turn I have to adjust speed and every time the wind blows down temp changes . All the units today work well and if money isn't an object I would buy the the Fish Hawk . I myself am a weekend warrior and found a Depth Raider refurb on Ebay for $330. This will be my 4th season on the coated cable and see no real sign of wear.(you can reverse ends of the cable to extend it's life ) I have Scotty electric riggers and bought their antenna adapter that works great with the stop beads on the coated cable. Good Luck !!
I am curious . Why would you run without a thermostat ? Seems like in the Spring and Fall when the Lake water is cold your engine would never warm up to a good running temp and could do more harm then good. Unlike a car with a closed cooling system your are always pumping cold water into the engine . I guess I thought motors ran better when warm . (always ready to learn )
