  1. my boat is just under 17 foot and has a 50hp Yamaha 4 stroke.  I was able to install an electronic throttle button to lower my rpms even more a just in gear.  I also put a 24v 80lb minn kota terrova on the front.  If I'm trolling 1.5 or under I just use the minn kota and get several hours from it and especially on oneida walleye or perch fishing having spot lock is awesome plus with that I can set my speed and heading and don't have to worry about boat control while setting up my spread. If I'm over 2mph I use the big motor for speed plus use the minn kota for steering.

    Does anyone miss the almost unlimited size of the non chamber units? I am in the market too. 
     

    prob not a normal issue but i could see a walleye fillet be tight fit in the chamber?

     I bought the VEVOR chamber sealer and I love it!!! I can fit a little bigger than a gallon size bag in there so I dont think a walleye fillet will be a problem, if it is cut the filet in half. I bet I can fit a whole chicken in the chamber

  3. I dont do the finger lakes but I fish oneida jigging and trolling.  I have the garmin version and it works awesome!!!!  I like it mounted on a pole mount because we spot lock and it doesnt work good with that feature (moves around to much). If you plan on trolling with it get a good pole mount, arclab and fingear seem to have good sturdy poles and mounts but pricey.

  4. dakota has had reports of problems and not standing behind their warranty from members on iceshanty.  Amped seems to be a better company form what ive heard reading posts.  But with that said I just went with 2 deep cycle from walmart on my 17ft boat for my terrova.  The weight to me wasnt a big deal and some people say those trolling motors dont like lithiums (burns them up) but I dont know if thats true.

    You can actually make one.  Same type switch as a Cannon downrigger.  Contacts up and down with spring loaded to center.  Three wires back to engine.  Connector is on port side. Only problem is connector is hard to find.  I soldered on pins that fit into female contacts securely and sealed it with silicone.  Been working for 9 seasons  on my F70LA with no problem. 

    How slow can you troll down to with the 70?
