  1. Just kidding, but I'm having problems with them. Both of rods are pointed towards back of boat at 45 degree angles. Both.seem to stay to the back or sometimes they will wonder off to one side (current?). Both have snubbers, and that happens with around 150-170 ft of line. One is about 5" the other one is about 3". Both are set to 2.5-3. Any ideas why?

  2. I have a 16 foot Crestliner with a 50HP mercury with side console. It does not have a built in gas tank. I have found an another one for sale for 2000$-theft recovery. It was stripped to the floors. basicaly it is just a hull and a trailer. Is it worth my time to change over everything?

    beam on mine is 75, the other one is 91

    length 16.6, 17.2

    Deadrise 6, other 12

    Transom is both 20"

    crestliners web site states 24gal fuel capacity, so im assuming the tank is built in which would be a great advantage.

    How much time would i need to switch everything over? engine, steering, console, electrics?

  3. Just checked the boat and my battery is a starting battery. I assumed it was deep cycle because it says "marine" on it.

    Silly me :)

  4. A tomik flies, spoons or both with SDs. Make sure u use 30+ lb line and u have a flexible/long rod. You also should have an elastic/rubber piece with snaps on both ends between your rod's line and the dipsy(forgot what its called). It relieves stress on stuff when fish hit.

    Small dipsys will take you to about 30-40ft depending on your trolling speed and length if line, big ones will do about 60-70. For big ones 40+ lb line would be recommended. Also make sure your rod mounts are solid, if they are not you will loose a part of your boat and yoyr equipment.

  5. Set them up in parallel and you will be fine, for both electronics and electric downriggers, trolling - different scenario.

    I have a deep cycle batt for starting main. I also have a 55aH battery that my kicker charges when trolling, I use it for my radio, ff, lighting(led). I also have a one foot jumper cable in case my main quits. Starts my 50hp no problem
