  1. does it have built in gps antenna?
  2. with the 2 batteries just add a perko battery switch. make sure the riggers are going to the house battery only. when your trolling with the kicker select the house battery for running the riggers. then if it runs low its no big deal. when you get ready to start your motor just switch the switch to the starting battery. i use the number 1 setting for the house battery and the number 2 battery for starting. they also make a battery isolator so when you get the motor running you can put the perko switch to both and not worry about over charging the starting battery. once the starting battery reaches something like 13.3 volts it cuts that battery off and routs the current to the discharged battery. if the starting battery gets below 12.8 it starts charging again. i have 2 like batteries in my boat but with the isolator i don't think it would hurt anything. they make a combiner that I've heard is a better option and works better. but you can read about them and check reviews on both. it sounds like a lot of trouble but its as simple as hooking up a few cables.
  3. thank you. it's so much better than my old 21'.
  4. you took the words right out of my mouth. i looked at his upgrade and thought just what you said. now i understand him only asking 4000 for his old rig. someone got a great but on it. congrats to whoever bought his boat as its a nice boat. and to you on the boat you replaced the old one with. i put a new bimini top on my old 21' boat and forgot it didn't lay down like my old top did and backed it in the pole barn. well the top caught the overhead door. it destroyed the top bending it around and busted the side glass and bent the frame. the insurance company totaled my boat. it was an old boat so i didn't have it insured for a lot. i got 3800.00 and started looking for another old boat under 4000.00. the my dil and my son said they would chip in on another boat. we got a 26' sylvan that's going to make us a great lake Erie boat.
  5. you can still sell the rest for 175.00. most people don't want the lite bite divers as their not needed for salmon. i walleye fish and use the lite bites for the small fish we catch. i'll pay you 25.00 for the 2 lite bites plus shipping. please let me know one way or the other.
  6. i've never used scotties so they may be a better option. and it's true that if you get electric the motor might burn out some day. but that's not something that happens very often. just make sure they are still working good when you buy them. and a big jon heavy duty motor does cost 209.99 at big jon. but worth taking the chance to have electric. i have a set of cannon mag 10 that came on my boat that looks to be very old so they usually last for many yrs. if i was buying used i would just get ones that's working good at the time i bought them.
  7. i sent you a message about what i'm looking for. please send a massage to my email or a pm or just post it here.
  8. i like to mount my riggers if im using only 2 about a foot from the back of the gunnel making sure i can get to them to reset the lines and crank the riggers. i dont think a swivel base is mandatory but it sure comes in handy. i like to run mine at a 45 degree angel to the back side of the boat that leaves the back open for landing fish and the sides open for running dipsy type divers. something you've got to think about is pulling into a dock without swivel bases is if they are to the side or even just at a 45 degree angle you may have to remove the rigger, where if you have a swivel base you can swing it around. the one thing i recommend on any rigger is ball retrievers to pull the ball in to set your lines. and the best one i've used is the traxstech pully retrievers. they have a larger roller on them. and they are quality made.
  9. i've used a ton of manual riggers and if i was buying i would be looking at penn. but in the used market you can get a set of electric for not that much more money. i fished manual for 35 yrs before investing in a set of big jon pro tournament riggers. i spent the next year kicking my behind for waiting so long to switch. but it was getting old cranking those heavy weights up at 60 yrs old and a bad heart to boot. you'll never regret going electric . but all the major manual riggers are good. cannon, penn, scotty, walker all are good manual riggers. their is a set of penn fathom master 600 riggers on eBay priced a 324.99 but when you click on it the price is 299.00 with free shipping. if you want a good smooth set you should check eBay out.
  10. i used 3 777 pellets behind the CVA slick loads for yrs. the only 2 bullets i was able to retrieve was the 2 chest shots i made at close range. all my other bullets were pass throughs leaving a huge exit wound. i just liked the looks of the aero tip elr bullets so i tried them in my 45 encore LR rifle. my groups was the best i've got with any bullet with my 50 cal's. so i got some for my 50 cal encore. they grouped well for my granddaughter. i just cant wait until i shoot a deer with them and see how they stack up. i hunted with them last yr and didn't get a shot. the only deer i seen was running at 150 yrds through the brush. then i seen its tail at about 80 yrds. some people would have took that tail shot but i don't need a deer that bad.
  11. i thought you was a little high until i checked on eBay. they want twice what you are asking just for the head unit. i have the old lcx 38c hd thats still working like new and it's about 25 yrs old. these are great old fish finders. mine has gps also .
  12. if you don't mind shipping Delaware propeller in Muncie in did mine and it came back looking like a brand new prop. just do a search on the web and get there info and give them a call.
  13. any deer with a smoke pipe is a nice deer. what bullets were you using. i switched to a CVA 45 accura lr last yr and semi retired my encore. i'm shooting the new aero tip elr power belts and getting amazing 3 shot groups. so i bought these for the encore. the other day i took my 14 yr old granddaughter shooting with the encore for her first time with a ML. i took it easy on her as she has never shot one. she only started shooting a 22 last yr. but her 3 shot group was 2 almost center bulls eyes at 50 yrds and she said she pulled on the last shot. and she had pulled it and hit about 4" high. these bullets shoot great out of my encore.
  14. i'd give you 12.00 each plus shipping for the lite bite divers.
  15. i've had great service with boatus and geico. i had to be towed at geneva. it cost 600.00 but i didn't pay a dime. lost a wheel on my trailer on I-75 just south of cincy one night about 10:00 pm. called boat us and they sent a flatbed to haul my boat in. again it didn't cost me anything. busted a tire on my truck. didn't have a spare. boat us sent a truck with a new tire. he mounted the new tire and put it on the truck. i did have to pay everything up front. he charged me 175.00 for the tire and mounting it. but charged boat us 375.00 forb the service call. he dit have to drive about 10 miles. i got around to putting insurance on my boat for the 1st time ever last yr with geico. it was an old boat so i only insured it for 4500.00 but it was the liability that i wanted. this yr i put a new bimini top on the boat. the old top laid down where this one just leaned back against the back posts. i forgot about the top and put the boat in the pole barn. but the new top didnt make it. it crashed on the pole barn overhead door. it bent the frame around breaking the side window and bending the window frame. geico came out and said a new windshield would cost 5000.00 alone. so he was going to total the boat. i bought it back from them for 675.00. i got a great 350 vortec, outdrive and trim pump for 675.00. it took them about a week to pay off but i got it with no trouble.
  16. for walleye with the lite bite slide diver i have a mixed bag of rods. i run 3 divers per side and to keep things running smooth i use a 9' med off brand rod in front a daiwa wilderness trolling 8' med rod in the middle and a 7' med/light off brand rod in the back. if your running divers i recommend a 9' med ugly stick gx2 rod for the front then an 8' med for the middle and the same rod in a 7' for the back. if your running boards then either the gx2 med 8' or 7' but all the same length.
  17. i'm located in muncie in. but the price includes shipping. i'm not trying to make money here just want to get my money back and see someone get some use out of it. it looks used with some of the paint off the brackets. but it functions just like new. if you havent used one or know someone who has you can google using the ez steer and you should get some videos.
  18. no i don't even know how to post pictures on here. but you can tell its been used but all parts function as they should. i just don't need it as i bought 2 and used 1 on my boat. if your not satisfied you can return it for a refund. i'll be out the shipping to you and you'll be out the shipping back to me., i wouldn't think twice about using bit.
  19. if you have a ff that's compatible you can use it as your monitor you don't need to buy one. then it's only about 2299.00.
  20. this works on a Mercruiser outdrive as well as outboard to outboard. you just need the bracket that goes on the outdrive for a Mercruiser. you wont need anything for outboard to outboard.
  21. price reduced this ez steer is used but still works great. 100.00 shipped to your house at my expense.
  22. i was thinking of doing the same thing with my kicker. but for its not in my budget to get the auto pilot i researched. but from days of checking them out i settled on the garmin reactor 40 with the monitor. you can ust a lot of FF as your monitor. but i'm just not good at technical stuff. the cost for the stand alone unit with throttle control included is 2599.00 maybe by next season i'll have the money to spare. check out the garmin before you buy something you'll regret later.
  23. those would be easy to ship. just go to the post office and pick up a priority box large enough to hold all three weights and pack them with old wadded up news paper so they don't roll around and take them back to the post office. you can even ask the clerk how much to ship the box your using if its not posted. but you can ship up to 70# for the same price. they charge a flat rate depending on the size of the box. you could ship at buyers expense. you would know the cost to ship ahead of time. a box just big enough for all 3 balls would be around 20.00 to ship. just a thought.
