Use a small peice of alum. angle(1/8" thick ,3/4" - 1" wide) bolted (2) across the front of the handle. Mount your ball joint up/down & your set to go.
Just installed a new Elite 7 HDI but it will randomly turns itself off. I can turn it right but on but then have to reboot it like starting all new again. (everytime I turn it on) it does not seem to save anything. I have heard that the Elite 5 has this problem also. Lowrance has an update but that does'nt seem to work either. Does anyone have this problem and a way to solve it ? Thanks advance.
I did the JB weld thing as instructed & it did not work/last. I know guys that used the Alum. sticks where you heat the spot/crack with a torch & apply the alum. stick & it worked great. I forgot what they are called but you see them at the fairs.
Just installed a new Lowrance Elite 7 HDI fishfinder/chart/gps. On the sonar I get alot of vertical "static lines" on the screen & was told it might be bad grounds in the boat.The faster I go the worst it gets. It is worst when I am using the trolling motor than with the main motor . My question is where does one start looking for bad grds. & where is the main grd found on a boat? Any good ideas? Thanks!

Anyone ever try using the steering linkage/ball joints off the front of an old riding lawn mower for steering your trolling motors? They work. Also when my linkage rattled I used a peice of hose tightened down over the studs, that works too!
Sounds like not enough oil. Use more oil, its better/cheaper to have a smoke cloud & change plugs more often then to seize the motor or burn out a piston. jmo.
If you are doing the lower gear case, drain out, fill from the bottom hole up to the top hole, replace the top plug first & then the replace bottom plug. clean up mess!
Nice fish! Hows the boat running for you? What happened to that nice trolling motor you got ? Going with a trolling plate instead? We didn't mount the winch on the trailer yet.
