Looking for any tips or tricks or advice based on your experiences. I got a new to me used Alumacraft Trophy 220 that had 2 black rubber bow rollers that are pretty much disintegrated. I thought about swapping them out for the V style poly type but the boat doesn't appear to be sitting right on them. What are the better options here or what has worked best for you? Thinking of 3 inch poly rollers versus trimming those V style down to fit. Also, I have always believed the winch cable to go between the rollers as pictured to the bow hook. Is that correct or should that be lowered so the cable is above them both? I should know better by now but always doubt myself that there is a better way.

Actually already have a gas kicker that would be used. The TM would be the steering wheel. Planning on switching over to a 36v lithium to minimize the battery weight. By looking at the charts, I want at least a 72". The next step I see is 90" which might be too long.

I need to add a bow mount trolling motor to my Alumacraft. I am looking to see if there are any troubles you have had for MinnKota or Garmin Force. Currently have an older Lowrance Hook 9 and want to replace with a unit that will pair to the TM so that I can map routes for the TM to follow. I've got 36" from water to bow and maybe a little more because of some potential engineering to get the stowed position above the cabin. Just stuck with pulling the trigger on MinnKota/Humminbird or Garmin/Garmin combo. Open to any input

I've got a 1991 Alumacraft and looking to see if anyone has any recommendations on what to use for the livewell drain plug. The hole measures 1.25". I could just push a rubber plug down in, but was looking for more of a pipe that would allow the water to flow down so it doesn't overflow. Any thoughts on what you might be using that works?

Thanks for the suggestions. We put water in the boat and found 1 rivet up front with a very slow leak and a couple areas on the transom and the motor mount bolts. Believe the mount bolts are due to the transom on its final year cause it is getting soft and didn't have a transom saver on for 2 years. The motor bouncing going down the road didn't do it any favors. We will keep looking Sent from my HD1907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

We have a 1985 16 foot Grumman and certain it is taking on water from somewhere. It pumps water out the bilge even though it hasn't rained or no other way of getting water inside. It is an aluminum hull with rivets. It seems to take it on slowly. We got 2 pictures of an area under the boat and I cannot tell if these 2 "holes" could be a culprit or if I need to keep looking. Has anybody else had any similar issues or offer any other places to look?

Are the tackle shops open to get more spoons and tackle? I assume they are but trying to decide on buying online or buying local. Would rather support local if we make it up. Thanks

Any word on what the brown trout bite has been like between Wilson and Olcott? Or have they been skipped for kings... -

Did you every use this on the lake? I was wondering your opinion on it. I need an upgrade until I can afford the upgrade that i really want. Then I could keep something like this up front for trolling. -

Does anybody know where to get dry ice near Buffalo over the weekend? I have tried internet searching but cannot find anywhere other than M-F, 9-4. I thought maybe some locals might know more. Thanks!

Hi Steve. Good to see someone else local. I'm from State College, right over the mountain. Have only fished out of Olcott and don't have a boat ready to go yet. This is a great site and glad you get some good info.

Awesome. Seeing as Salmon is selling for about $10/lb here in our grocery store, I would say you made out pretty well.
