    Boat Trailer Wheels/Rims

    Coatings like epoxy and powder paint are great if they remain fully intact, but they can actually concentrate corrosion on spots that become damaged. Simply being conductively connected to a piece of zinc protects the ferrous metal. That is why outboard motors have one or two anodes (zinc...

    on board charger

    Switch to 3 bank if all 3 batteries will be of the same type. Minn-kota has $50 rebate available for purchases made through end of May.

    Hydrofoils

    Mine came with one from the last guy. Took it off to see the difference and put it right back on. Along with everything mentioned above, it also gives me a little more ability to nose down into rough chop.

    Interference on Side Imaging

    Thanks all for the ideas. I just had the minnkota tore apart to replace the steering motor end of last season and the ground fuse was good but will check again. I do not have a jump cable between cranking and troll battery. I carry a set of 20' jumper cables (long enough to reach into another...

    Interference on Side Imaging

    That's a good thought, but I do not have a heading sensor puck. The nmea network seemed like a possible source but the minnkota is not connected to it. Thanks for the response.

    Interference on Side Imaging

    Looking for ideas to track down this interference issue. Side imaging gets a washout effect when trolling motor prop is on. The photo shows a darker band which is the short interval I turned off the prop on the trolling motor to take the photo. It is definitely electrical interference as...

    Federal CWD Spending

    For a politician that claims to fight against overspending and federal overreach, this sure seems like an open invitation for the feds to meddle in something that is already being mismanaged by the state while spending even more money...

    NDGF Spring Advisory?

    Didn't make it to the advisory board in Bismarck last night. Anyone have insights from attending any of the recent advisory board meetings?

    That time of year

    Thanks, good reminders for everyone. Also note that faster does not necessarily mean larger wake. Too many people think they're being polite slowing to come off plane when passing nearby, but that just sends out a bigger wake. If you want to minimize your wake, you should be near idle or on...

    That boat also appears to be running on hydrofoils which is another thing entirely.

    Boat Wiring~ Onboard charger and trolling motor

    Good points Smuscha. I will always have a quick detach mount going forward. Repairs are far more difficult without.

    Boat Wiring~ Onboard charger and trolling motor

    Charger brand: minn Kota or promariner. Get one that will charge every battery on the boat. Don't rely on the motor to keep your cranking battery in good condition. Do not mix battery types.

    Boat Wiring~ Onboard charger and trolling motor

    Whether receptacle or direct wire, make sure to use correct wire gauge for your run length according to the chart on page 21 of the minn kota manual. Don't just wire into an existing receptacle or bus board without knowing the wire supply is good...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    There are two systems behind this one projected to drop moisture in the Missouri watershed. The second system around the middle of next week will certainly be one to watch as well. https://weatherstreet.com/models/gfs-slp-precip-forecast.php

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Current model has precipitation closer to where it's needed compared to a couple days ago. Think I'll summerize and stow the snowblower this weekend for good measure.

    transducer issue-question

    Not necessarily. The HDS units (gen 3, carbon and live) have input ports for separate sonar and side imaging. If graphs are networked, transducer data can be shared as well.

    transducer issue-question

    I don't believe they do yet. The closest thing I see is specific to the Hook2 unit. https://www.lowrance.com/lowrance/type/accessories/sonar-transducers-accessories/hook2-transducer-y-cable-ae03d44b/#prl_key_features
