    I run mag 10 STX's, no issues at all the past three years and really like them. I run a 12lb shark on port side and 15 lb on starboard side to make up for probe blowback on sb side. only issue I had was my own fault. auto stop stopped the ball where it should have, then i hit the switch to move it up some more and accidentally broke the terminator off at the pulley, losing ball and release. Luckily it wasnt the probe rigger. I have since learned my lesson in manually overriding autostop. Goes to show how strong the motors are, and to set clutch tension appropriately.

    Absolutely Stoneam, I was just talking to my fishing buddy about that. This year may be the best we will ever see in our lives. Already planning on trailering from Sackets Harbor to walnut creek for two long weekends this summer, maybe more depending on the kings/ lake conditions Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I switched all my diver rigs to wire last year, didnt hurt my eye numbers at all on the few days we fished lake Erie with them. Then again, walleye numbers were unreal on Erie last season and just about anything we put in the water got hit. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have about a dozen cv 30d’s for rigger and divers and a handful of 55L’s for junk lines and have had very few issues with them. I fish a few times a week from may-sept, only issues I had were one stripped pinion gear and one bad clicker. All got tuna’s drag upgrades. I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a DS, should be a great diver reel. The regulars are a little slow when clearing lines with a ton of wire out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    The Raymarine EV-100, which was pretty much maxed out on my hyd steering ram, was constantly pumping on my boat trolling into or in the trough of anything bigger than 2 footers. It did work great, though not sure what the longevity of the pump is going to be under my conditions. Although not sure what the draw rate was, I would not use that pump with a kicker without an alternator.

    Todd, you would still need a drive system for that unit. I've done a little research into mating a system like the Octopus Type S mechanical drive (type that attaches to cable-drive steering wheel) and Raymarine EV units, and it seems like a definite possibility. Cabling and programming needed for this, I have no clue, but seems possible.

    Good luck with whatever route you decide! Because I fish solo or with my wife and inexperienced buddies often, installing autopilot for this past season has improved my fishing experience and catch rate tremendously. Unless you have a dedicated, experienced wheel-man, AP is a great tool to have. I know we fish the same waters quite often, if you want to hop aboard and give mine a try early next season, you are more than welcome.

    Todd, what do you have for electronics on the boat now? Lowrance makes an AP for cable steered outboards, but needs a newer HDS MFD for a head unit. Even if you dont have lowrance electronics now, it may be cheaper to add in a smaller HDS unit and buy the cable-steered lowrance AP, than to upgrade to hydraulic steering and a hydraulic AP. https://www.starmarinedepot.com/lowrance-outboard-pilot-cable-steer-pack.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiArYDQBRDoARIsAMR8s_QJVFLkrZoiBgr1L842gIuNNinChBT_3ehNjboF5E1hp5CgCRb4274aAl_TEALw_wcB I run the Raymarine EV-100 on my Wellcraft 220 sportsman and yamaha F200, connected with panther quick-connect rod to a yamaha T9.9, I have hyd steering though. I know some love this system, and some hate it, but it works great for trolling on my boat with the correct settings on the head unit.

    I fish the exact same boat, a 2004 with the same power. Really like the layout, fishes very well. Had 5 guys on board trolling 10 rods for walleye this year on Erie, pull a few rod holders and throw the stern seats in and can go for a day cruise with 7 adults. Good luck with the sale, price is very good for a clean and well-kept rig.

    I like longer dipsey leads typically 10-12', but have had 6' leaders from dipsey to flasher catch fish before. Lake was rolling today. Made one pass with the waves from 1100-1230 after perch fishing this morning. . Picked up one 25 ish lber, 220 dipsey meat market/ pro am. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks for the report. Was planning on hitting the trench/finger this morning, but slept in and got the bow tuned in instead. Plan on hitting it hard next weekend. Should be a calm week and temps should set up nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
