The Kahles I got last year is awesome. I was ranged and on target before my buddy got his vortex to work at the range. Ranged out to 1500 yards in the badlands with no problem, and works great in low light too. Got it on sale for under $500...

Simply being conductively connected to a piece of zinc protects the ferrous metal. That is why outboard motors have one or two anodes (zinc...
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.
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...
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.
