  1. Hi guys, 17ft aluminum boat with a 50hp 2 stroke motor. Most of the time i troll by myself or with my buddy. No more than two people on board. How big of a kicker do i need? im only interested in achieving 3mp/h.
  2. ebay is your best bet, take good measurements....
  3. My boat came with a 50hp mercury elpto, 2008. I have been trolling with it and it does job just fine, I just want to have a backup and something more efficient. I usually wonder of to 300ft deep water which is around 5-7km from shore. don't want to get stuck in the middle of the lake with no motor
  4. 6dbd or 6dbi? Your vertical antenna will never give you that much gain. If its dbi, it has no gain. If purchasing a vhf antenna, make sure it is 5/8 wavelength, or multiple if it.
  5. I have a 17 foot crestkiner boat, it has a 50hp motor that is controlled frim the console. I wantedto add a 6-8hp kicker for trolling purposes, how do you guys steer the boat if the kicker is not controlled by the steering wheel?
  6. Anyone up for some trolling tommorow? It is supposed to be +12 i might comeout out of lakeview for few hours. [ Post made via iPhone ]
  7. Where did you buy these spoons? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  8. well, it was the cables... i removed the battery, took a wire brush and some elbow grease to the posts on the battery and to the terminals at the end of cables and it works like a charm. Silly me, why didn't i think of that before? Guys, my bows to you all for trying to help. I didn't go fishing as an opportunity came up at work and i took it. Most likely there will be no more days like today this year. Today we had 16+, tommorow we are expecting 2+ and some snow Thanks! Daniel.
  9. Will do , my boat is garage kept, though its not heated. I did move it with a finger and it seemed loose. Will give it a shot when i come home [ Post made via iPhone ]
  10. @&!! ... Cant believe it would fail so quickly;( Is the selenoid inside of the starter or outside? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  11. So i charged the batteries to full and decided to turn over the engine, turned the key for one second -fine, turned it second time and the starter is spinning loose, its a 2008 merc 2 stroke 50hp that has only around 50hrs on it. Removed the cover to flywheel and i can see that starter is not coming up when turning the key- its not engaging. Is there a quick fix for that? Or do i have to get a new starter??? I am new to marine stuff but quite handy with tools. [ Post made via iPhone ]
  12. i have a good launch site i guess at this time of year it is a hit or miss on what depth to go to?
  13. Lol, didnt go, maybe tommorow, but how about the fish in big O? Are they still biting? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  14. Have a day off tommorow, i was thinking of going out, but for the past WHILE i noticed there is nobody on the water, Why?
  15. I use about 4 feet of line between the two, some use less. Make sure you have GOOD and i mean good swivels, with ball bearings. I found out the hard way what good means;) replaced the line twice this season. [ Post made via iPhone ]
  16. This is what worked THE BEST this year for rainbows for me. I could guArantee fish with these, also Monkey Puke was a great spoon, what worked for you???? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  17. When i was out the tem was 48, i saw quite few fish around 15-25 fow, but had no luck. [ Post made via iPhone ]
  18. Whats wrong with fishing lake trout? Im new to trolling so please tell me what im missing [ Post made via iPhone ]
  19. Hey guys, noticed that the temperature dropped a lot, i went to my favourite spot and didnt even get a dingle bite. Im assuming fish went to deeper waters right? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  20. LoL !!!! Hehe... You guys kick ass Gambler: i had a sailboat so i know how it is with boats. I like my boat because its light easy to transport and fits on my driveway and in the garage for the winter, plus the 50hp two stroke makes it fun and again its lighter than a 4 stroke.

  21. You mean between Spin Doctors and spoons? [ Post made via iPhone ]
  22. LoL, you suckers making fun of me??? I stated that I am new to this! Its only been few months!!! Btw, I purchased 6 more today:) Cheers. Have a question, how do you keep so many on your boats? My boat is only 17 feet long. ( crest liner Kodiak 167) [ Post made via Android ]
  23. Im getting twists etc in my lines, especially when im trying to setup my manual downriggers, if there is any slack in the line i usually endup with a line around the tip of my rod and have to untangle it. I use SDs and spoons, i have two swivels before each and two after the SD. Whats wrong? [ Post made via iPhone ]
