    Boat Wiring~ Onboard charger and trolling motor

    Thanks for all the responses. I am planning on going with the receptacle instead of hard wiring it in. I am planning on using 8 gauge wire, as recommended in the minnkota chart that Slappy linked. Any recommendations on a brand for the onboard charger? I am probably going to go the three bank...

    Boat Wiring~ Onboard charger and trolling motor

    Getting the boat ready to go for the year, and I am wiring in a new 24V trolling motor. Planning on using a 60A breaker, as recommended by minnkota for the trolling motor. Should I be wiring the motor to a receptacle or just hardwiring it in? Also, what kind of on-board charger should I be...

    Sounds like maybe I shouldn't be buying a camera then. Appreciate the input from you all.

    Underwater Camera

    Thinking about picking up an underwater camera to check for structure and to be able to fish with in somewhat stained water. Looking to spend under $300 if possible. Have been looking at some marcum ones specifically the recon 5. Does anyone have experience with this one or have some other tips...

    New Ice fishing rig "The Clackshot"

    Found this video just out this year about this new rig. Claims desciption claims it is a "New ice fishing technique that changes the way you fish for perch, walleye, and crappie. The technique, I call "Clackshotting" takes the best components of the buckshot spoon, jigging rap, and split shot...

    Clam Sled Runners

    As cool as that setup looks, I think it probably wouldn't hold up to being pulled by a wheeler also. I am kind of looking for runners that would work behind a four-wheeler. If I ever have to pull it by hand, I'll just throw it on my smitty. As far as it goes for a factory kit for the Thermal X...

    Clam Sled Runners

    Got a clam thermal x, and think I want to add runners to it. Haven't heard great things about the kits they sell, so I was thinking about using UHMW strips. Has anyone else tried this? If so, would 3/8 be about the right thickness? Also wondering what type of screws I should use.

    Venison Jerky

    Update: Made the Dr. Pepper Jalapeno jerky today. Was definitely the best one we have made by far. Had the right blend of sweet and spicy. We maybe would even add a third jalapeno like jr2280 mentioned doing. I was surprised that despite being marinated in Dr. Pepper, it wasn't at all sticky...

    Venison Jerky

    We usually put the meat on the smoker racks then just dab dry the top side with paper towels. Now that you all mention it, the recipes that have turned out sticky either had honey or brown sugar in them, so that's probably what the sticky is from.

    Venison Jerky

    One thing that I have noticed on most of our jerky attempts so far is that it always ends up sticky on the outside, even though it is fully dry and cracks, but doesn't break. Anyone have any tips to keep it from getting sticky?

    Venison Jerky

    Thanks for the recommendations. I kind of would prefer to stay away from pre-made spices as I like to make my own. I might have to try out the Dr. Pepper recipe. Guywhofishes, what was wrong with the Dr. Pepper recipe for you? - - - Updated - - - We had tried a recipe with apple cider vinegar...

    Venison Jerky

    Have been trying out making venison sliced meat jerky for a few years now, and haven't really found a great recipe yet. Does anyone have a recipe they are willing to share? I have seen and tried many with the standard soy sauce and worcestershire marinade, but would kind of like to have a more...

    Humminbird Helix 7 G3

    Thanks guys. I was able to buy it for 640 with navionics+ from Hodge's Marine, only $30 more than without. I will likely look at the lakemaster card as well.

    Humminbird Helix 7 G3

    I hear you, but it was already a little bit of a stretch for me to go up to the 7. I wanted to just get the 5. I'm upgrading from a 1990s Eagle finder that pretty much can only show depth.

    Humminbird Helix 7 G3

    Looking at getting some electronics for the boat and have it narrowed down to the Helix 7 MEGA SI GPS G3. Can get it for a little over $600. Can get it with Navionics+ for $70 more. Is it worth it to go this route? What would be the best map chip for Devils Lake and some of the other small lakes...

    Ridgid Octane Drill for Kdrill

    Don't have any experience with the Ridgid drill but I was able to get a deal last fall at Acme in GF on a Dewalt DCD 996 Drill and Impact Combo. It came with two 5 ah and a 6 ah battery. All of this was for $250+tax. Runs my hand auger rig well and can get at least 600 inches on a battery.

    Have always had the best luck with the pro thermals they seem to get 3x the fish compared to others.
