  1. To add an autopilot to your main motor it must have hydraulic steering , which I did not have ( Next Project ) . I don't know if an autopilot on main motor would work if motor was not running ? Kicker runs great in rough i water Except going straight into rollers , avoid it even with Main motor,
  2. Look into a Garmin TR-1 Autopilot made for a trolling motor ,Saves wear and tear on your main steering and the driver too . Best purchase I have made .
  3. Painted surfaces and stainless ok , just rinse off good also take caution on black plastic will discolor them white , Bare metals watch out . It will eat the galvanizing off a trailer real quick .
  4. Never tried muriatic acid , but MaryKate ON & OFF is probably the same stuff and is Great . pressure wash first to get the heavy stuff first . I just wet down trailer and concrete first just in case . I apply on a small folded towel and just wipe on small section at a time so there is no dripping , also do the mercury motor lower unit and trim tabs . Looks like new again . But the stuff is nasty - wear personal protection and careful not to get a whiff of it .
  5. For sale I have a Speedtrol Planer Bard Mast . Extends from 6-8 feet , and is in Great shape . Comes with mounting plate . It was made in Frankfort Michigan . $175.picked up in Hamburg , N.Y. or will ship for actual postage. If interested Call John at (716) 374 - two one 33 .
  6. Up for sale I have a Fish Hawk 840 Complete with Everything needed and an Extra Probe. This unit belonged to a friend who sold his boat to a non-fisherman. Everything is in working order. Tested probes and display unit on my X4. $225. Shipped to your door . If interested, call John at (716) 374- two one 33.
  7. No need to remove hatches , check my picture . the gasket goes on the highest part of the well crown , not down in the drain channels . I will take more pics if you want . Gasket makes contact with the underside of cover , not cover lip . Maybe they changed the style in 07 ?
  8. That is one thing I never thought of , it would come in handy to charge third battery . will it keep up with amp draw or is it mostly for recharging when docked ?
  9. Yes , mine is 5/8" wide and about 1/4" hi , probably flattened out a bit . if it is hollow then it is the same. yours should be fine . When rounding corner go slow and press hard. Apply silicone spray to gasket occasionally . Just remembered , I had to cut back side of lip a bit on one cover because it would not clear the gasket .
  10. Just one on each side is all that is needed .
  11. Up for sale I have a Cannon Dual Reel manual planer board mast. It is 6 ft. high and comes with mounting base . Cannon reels have one-handed operation. Turn handle counter-clockwise to let boards out, turn clockwise to stop or retrieve. $175.00 Will possibly ship at buyer's expense .
  12. Top and side attach with two # 10 ss screws , length depends on cover thickness . pre drill and start screws first . Then silicone screws and bracket before assembly , will never vibrate loose this way .
  13. They are called Spring Hatch Arms (West Marine 4914792 ). The self-adhesive Weather seal I got from Trophy , they started using it in 2009 I think. or you can get close substitute at West Marine 1955046 . Just make sure you degrease area and scuff with Scotch Brite pad or fine sandpaper before applying .
  14. I have a 2007 Trophy 2002WA . what Upgrades were you thinking on the Fish wells ? I added rubber gaskets around the rim to keep rainwater out , new latches that are easier to grab and Spring Type hatch holders , you goota have these , keeps the well hatch open - tap the side with your foot or hand and it closes . I probably have every gadget on my Boat Except a Hardtop ( would not fit in the garage ).
  15. Tomorrow March 28 is the 4th annual Fisherman's Flea Market. Stop in and find Tons of Fishing Equipment and More . Open 9 am - 3PM Alexander Firemen's Rec Hall 10708 Route 98 Alexander , NY 14005
  16. Can someone post full address and contact phone # for Brewerton and Watkins Glen . Thanks
