What is the BEST Maintenance Free Deep Cycle Battery ?

Has anyone used the DieHard Platinum Battery ? They have a big ticket price tag. I was wondering how they rate with the other batteries out there.

I wouldn't do it. I have a MK and I spliced my Hummingbird and I got interference. Un did the splice and connected both to the same battery and got interference.

It's 15 hp. The guy told me it was a medium , but I never heard of that. Just short, long and xlong. Thanks...He already sold it anyhold..Was only asking $700.00

Does anyone know if the '5' Mercury came in a medium shaft lenght

Does anyone know if the 05 Mercury came in a medium lenght shaft ?

I have Minn Kota 12V 55 thrust Power Drive and need to extend the wires. My out transom motor uses 10g, but this one looks larger. Does anyone have any idea.

I have an 1968 Monkey Ward V-Hull with lots of leaks. I used the roll on bed liner to the inside. Wow...No more leaks. Just prep it real good and put on an extra coat.

I'm looking for a new and it was between a Tohatsu and a Mercury. The difference in price is only $300.00. The Tohatsu being the cheaper in price.

Thanks..I heard they were a good motor. A big plus for me there is a dealer close by.

Does anyone have a Tohatsu Outboard. Was wondering if they are a good motor.

I'm getting ready to buy a new outboard. From the top of the transom to the bottom is 17'. I don't know what length shaft to get...Need help.

I was there last weekend camping and put my boat in at the camp ground ramp. From the ramp I fished the shoreline and had some luck over by the cabins and alot the shoreline to the day area of the park. There is alot of grass. I was using pumkinseed 6" power worms. Go in the evening. I'm heading up there next week to give it another try. Hope this helps.

I live around Hunt Valley and planning a fishing trip to the Potomac for smallies. I have a 14ft jon with a 6hp. Where is a good place to put in without hitting too many rocks ? Looking for some deeper water. Thanks

A new one has a nice price tag. They come in 8ft - 14ft. I got my off of Craigslist for $200.00. They are worth the money. Very sturdy and well made. You can hit rocks and won't rip a hole or dent it. Only takes 4 bolts to put it together. I put a 5HP Briggs on my. I take it everywhere, camping, hunting and fishing.

Have you checked out the folding boats(Porta Boat). I have an 8ft Porta Boat and it's great. It folds up to 4 inches thick, 24 inches wide and 8ft long.

I have a Minn Kota Power Drive Co-Pilot. I can use the foot control or the remote control. The remote control is great. Can move all around the boat.

A buddy works for the Highway Dept and tells me they throw away the old highway signs that are damaged. He can get me one. Would this be ok to use for a mounting plate?

Thanks....The stuff at the local hardware store was 1/8" but has to much flex in it... Thanks again for your help.

Is 1/8" thick enough ?

I have a V-Hull and would like to mount a bow trolling motor but the plate is too small. I'm thinking about making a base plate using 3/4" plywood wood and bolting it to the rails and mounting the motor to the plywood. Does this sound ok or any other suggestions.

I did something similar to my 14ft V. Before I started the deck I made a support for the pedestal to make sure I wasn't going to tip over. 1st I got a 2x2 3/4 piece of plywood and cut it the width of the bench seat, next I attached two 2x4 to the plywood to make a brace. Attached the pedestal to the plywood. Placed this over the bench and took the boat out. No problem with tipping. Now I was ready to begin the deck. This was a few extra steps, but I didn't want to spend time and money and get out on the water and tip over. Hope this helps.

I'm getting ready to replace my old trolling motor. I'm looking at the MotorGuide Wireless 54lb thrust. Does anyone out there own a wireless one and would you recommend them.

I've got my plans on how to start decking my v-hull. I'm starting just with the floor. I'm going to use 1/2 " plywood and 2 x 2. Does this sound ok or should I use 1 x 1 sq aluminum to make it lighter.

Got a dump question...What should the voltage reading be for a fully charged deep cycle 12v...Size 29, RCM 210, CCA 675 and CA 875. Thanks
