For anyone who is considering buying a Lowrance Outboard Pilot for your boat, I found a good video by Lowrance that shows how to calibrate and commission your outboard pilot. This video is a game changer because I had many issues with my cable steer AP not staying calibrated. I would be trolling along with the AP doing its job, then it would randomly turn the boat hard left or hard right all the way to the max, then the AP motor in the helm would wind up real tight until it turned itself off. After using this video to setup my AP, it has worked perfectly all year.

My wife used a curved needle and some 50lb test braided fishing line, and did a solid repair job on my trolling bag today. Looking forward to seeing how long it holds up, but I've got some high expectations.

I've got 2 or 3 options right now, but thanks for the suggestion!

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

As a matter of fact, my friend's mom is Mennonite, and I might ask her tomorrow if she makes it back from PA.

I'm thinking about doing the repair myself too. I have some extra 50lb braid I can use.

I noticed one of my bags yesterday, that some thread has come apart on the small end of the bag. I store them dry, and in a dry location, so it's not from storing them wet. Who can recommend a sewing shop that can repair this bag? I tried one shop in Watertown and they said it's too thick for their machine.
