PAP

A lot of guys like the aluminum boats as far as weight to to and that adds speed to their vessel, I get the old Patsy Kline “blue by you” lol as I’m running a Sea ray fisherman, heavy to tow heavy every which way, therefore I need a tandem axel trailer to put the old girl on and bring north then in the fall back to pa. I live for trolling!! My fiberglass cuddy I took the motor out built a 383 and a 4 bladed prop and I’ll never look back! I see guys out off Stoney Point Lighthouse blowing around like a kite Unless they run a steerable front mount trolling motor. Again I’m bouncing off 25-35mph drinking 93 octane like a soft drink!!! I can troll in 3fters depending how they are spaced… if I throw trolling socks over each side the ankers me to the water. There’s pro’s and con’s to every type of boat…next year I’m putting a Four Winns with a 200hp Johnson on with very little time on it this is a open bow with so much more room spray down deck live wells and dead wells rod storage!! But I have everything but the kitchen sink in the cuddy, from pan fish to king salmon feeling like this is flying solo type of thing. Anyway that’s my perspective of boats!! No matter who you talk to you, your going t get a different perspective of likes and dislikes!!! How handy are you?? Can you repair stuff or not, my uncle has a 16ft Mirrow Craft he loves it personally I wouldn’t give ya $10.00 for it. But he hauls my ass around in it, so it is what it is!!!

Ok that’s what led to that question!! Just like my younger years. Build a big hp motor for your car and it won’t take long to find the weak spot!! Thanks for your in put!! I made a coupler up for a motor of strength that would eliminate the Mr. 580 information and my second guess when I pulled that housing off along with the old gears and motor. I was pleasantly surprised as to what I was seeing!! Easy way to adapt a motor directly, now I’m trying to find a happy medium with rpm’s. The math comes to 1300 rpm’s could get away with a little more rpm’s. For every action there’s always a reaction, I used the speed of the retrieval in feet verses rpm of the motor its self. So there’s a trade off in this way of doing it, I lose a little speed but I gain torque, believe or not I’m getting less of a draw amperage, which mean less heat. Well I’m still not sure which way I’m going with it but I’ll keep ya posted. I have lots of units for parts so maybe I should be looking into a couple of the mag 20’s I have laying around to see what they got going on for drive trans🤙🤙🤙

Fishnateez, I want to put this rigger to the test out on our local dead hole to see just how well it works in a actual situation, I put many, many hrs into this and finally I have it down pat. The best part I can use your motor to do it!! No retrofitting something else in its place!! Well I’ll continue on make a video of the invader lifting 16 pounds with less amp draw as to the original motor

well I’ve been in the starter & alternator business for mucho many years. I have threw many different senecio’s said there’s got to be away to make these units stronger!!! I think I found the answer to this solution!!! I did it with an Invader rigger which I have 7 of. If this proves to be the answer to the motors, then the older mag 10’s this theory I got going on will work with any rigger the uses a permanent mangnet and brushes and an armature!!! Ok question, is the the guts, worm gear and the ring gear, plastic, which so does the mag 20’s what would be the weak link to say this isn’t going to work???. Would this be an interest to folks or am I just an old guy that can’t throw away a good working rigger, laid to the cause it won’t do what is called for in Lake'O….?

Yeah and those charter capt. they arrested should be all compensated also!!! Those guys knew more about what’s going to be better or worse!!! Then the green uniform wearing dip ****s!!! I really do ask myself what really goes on in their heads

Again thank you will catch up with you!! I’ll either call or text ya to make sure I don’t miss ya!!

Ok Sir I’m pleased to hear you are still at it!! I would like to get 2 of the 16#ers. If you send me your address I will consider picking them up!! We all love Ben Franklin. Or just a town near by to see what the distance is!! Thank you!!

Thank you!!!

Can anyone remember what the fellows name was made the weights?? I need a set of torpedos. My mind isn’t what it used to be!!! Thanks for any heads up!! Oh Hank I think was his name!!!
